"They slammed me up against the glass, you know, repeatedly hitting me in the temple, in my head, you know? You see my eye's black."

"These videos are deeply disturbing, and the matter is under active investigation by the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau. The officers in question are modified."

Timothy Brown was forcefully detained by police at a liquor store in Brooklyn, mistaken for a drug dealer during a narcotics investigation. Officers claimed he matched a suspect's description, but he was merely a customer. Video footage shows Brown calmly asserting his innocence while being roughly arrested. He reported injuries from the encounter, including a black eye. Following the incident, two NYPD officers were stripped of their guns and badges, and the case is under internal review by the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau.
