A perpetually arrested member of the Occupy Wall Street movement has settled his lawsuit with the city, claiming that he was the victim of multiple beatdowns at the hands of police at Zuccotti Park.
Those beatings allegedly left Shawn Schrader with a “bleeding ear, a hurt thumb and nightmares about cops.”
No explanation was given as to how the gentleman came about developing a nightmare about soap.
Via the NY Daily News:
The city will pay out an $82,500 settlement to an Occupy Wall Street activist who claims police beat him up and arrested him three times – the last instance booking him on a years-old public urination warrant for someone else, the Daily News has learned.
Shawn Schrader, 24, said the beatdowns left him with a bleeding ear, a hurt thumb and nightmares about cops.
“I settled my lawsuit because the police lawyers made it clear they would fight me tooth and nail on every claim,” Schrader told The News. All charges against Schrader stemming from the three arrests were dropped.
In the final arrest, on May 2012, Schrader claims intelligence officers used the urination warrant as a bogus excuse to suppress his free speech, interrogate him and throw a monkey wrench in the May Day protests he was helping to coordinate.
Gee, who could have possibly predicted that an Occupier had a history of public urination?
Schrader used the pseudonym Shawn Carrie, because you know, who uses their real name while involved in activities that require urinating on something other than a urinal?
So who does he sue if random people just start kicking his ass on sight?
What a turd.
they shoulda shoved that flag up his...
You know I’ve taken a totally wrong view of life, insisting on actually working for a living. I should just camp outside more successful people’s businesses and trip and hurt myself so I can get 80 thousand dollars after the lawsuit.
“a nightmare about soap”
unreal
Pathetic excuse for an anarchist, running to the courts.
He makes me very angry.
To be consistent, I oppose police brutality in ALL cases. If they beat this guy just because they didn’t like his cause, what is to stop them from beating a TEA Party attendee for little or no reason?
Agree. But it’s a big ‘if’. And I wonder if he resisted arrest, in a non-fictionalized in the police report way. It’s not as if this guy or his buddies respect rule of law, property rights, the usual things needed for a society that isn’t in anarchy, which is what that ‘a’ in the circle is short for.
yeah, irony is lost on them...
agree.
However, I am contacting the City Of NY and will initiate a Lawsuit myself....I am having nightmares of watching the videos of Occupy Wall ST!!!!
It’ll be pissed away in record time. Enjoy it while you can dirt bag.
The boy looks like he really, really loves himself.
Hi daddy must be real proud... if he even knows that he sired this turd
His daddy might want to get a blood test.
I have nightmares about govt destroying healthcare and spending too much money. To whom should I address my lawsuit?
