Suit Accuses N.Y.P.D. of Continued Aggression at Protests Over Gaza

In 2023, the City of New York settled a lawsuit brought by the state attorney general and others over the handling of Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 by agreeing that the Police Department would no longer box in and arrest demonstrators, a tactic known as 'kettling.' But according to a lawsuit filed late Monday night, the oft-criticized practice of surrounding protesters and arresting them was nonetheless used more recently against pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Manhattan and Brooklyn. The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan as a proposed class action, said that the police had subjected protesters to false arrest and used excessive force, violating First Amendment rights and retaliating against people who had exercised those rights. Members of the Police Department, the lawsuit said, had engaged in behavior that included 'trapping protesters into spaces where they could not escape, beating protesters with batons and fists, throwing protesters to the ground, using pepper spray indiscriminately and ultimately arresting many of the protesters without lawful justification and without fair warning.' In addition to unspecified damages, the suit asked that a judge issue orders stopping the police from 'violently disrupting' protests or engaging in the behavior described in the suit. Demonstrations over Israel and Palestine persist in New York. Thousands rallied in November before the Israeli prime minister's speech to the United Nations and smaller groups have gathered regularly in Times Square and other locations. This month, pro-Palestine protesters occupied senators' offices. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

VIDEO: Powerball jackpot winner tackled, tased after kicking Pinellas deputy

ST. PETE BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) — Newly released video showed exactly what happened as a new Powerball jackpot winner from Kentucky got a bad run-in with Pinellas County deputies last April. According to an arrest affidavit, James Farthing, 50, of Georgetown, Kentucky, was at the Island Grand at Tradewinds when he got into a fight with another man on April 29. Cause of death revealed for Brandon Blackstock, ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson: report Body cam video showed a deputy rushing to separate the two men, restraining the other combatant. That's when Farthing tried to kick the other man, only to kick the deputy in the face instead, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said. 'Are you kidding me?!' the deputy shouted as Tradewinds staff pushed Farthing away from him. After handcuffing the other combatant, who was not charged in the incident, the deputy got up and approached Farthing, ordering him to get up against the wall. 'Put your hands behind your back, and get against the f—– wall!' Farthing initially followed the deputy's orders, but when the deputy pushed the man toward the wall, he stumbled and then tried to flee from law enforcement. However, his escape attempt was short-lived as the deputy began deploying his taser while another deputy tackled the screaming shirtless man to the ground. After being restrained, Farthing tried to apologize to the deputy. 'I'm sorry!' he said. 'Save your f—— sorries for later!' the deputy shouted back. Farthing, who won and split the $167.3 million Powerball jackpot prize with his mother on April 28, was charged with resisting an officer without violence, battery on a law enforcement officer, battery, and parole violation. His 42-year-old girlfriend, who told deputies her name was Jacqueline Fightmaster, was charged with disorderly intoxication. Court records show that Farthing pleaded not guilty to the alleged crimes and had a pretrial hearing set on Aug. 11. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
