“Minor N.S. was lying on the ground, unable to move as a result of the police officer confining him beneath the weight of his body and the effects of being pepper-sprayed in the face,” the lawsuit alleges. “While handcuffed, defendant officer was forcefully and unlawfully shoving his knees into Minor N.S.’s back, further hindering [his] ability to breathe.... Although Minor N.S. continued to choke and lose consciousness, defendant officers refused to remove his handcuffs or allow him to sit upright to attempt to breathe.”
Police said that the teen had choked on a bag of drugs, the lawsuit claims. In an attempt to retrieve the bag, officers shoved a sharp object into N.S.’s throat, according to the suit, which also contends that no bag was ever found. What kind of sharp object the officers allegedly used is unclear.
I wonder what kind of drugs he was selling or allegedly swallowing? Two “huge” ziplock bags of Extecy?
