"The camera policy for the Narcotics Division the two detectives belong to, however, is not clearly codified, an ongoing review of the bureau has determined, and will be clarified so that it is clear any officer involved in arresting a drug suspect must wear and activate their body-worn camera."
"The video shows Brooklyn North Narcotics Dets. Volkan Maden and Michael Algerio repeatedly striking Timothy Brown as they struggled to take him into custody. They pushed Brown's head into a glass refrigerator door before Brown ended up falling headfirst into a wine bottle display."
"Mayor Mamdani labeled the use of force 'violence' that he called 'extremely disturbing and unacceptable.'"
"Brown, who suffered a deep cut on his leg, was arrested for obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest. But the charges were quickly dropped by the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office."
Two NYPD detectives were stripped of their guns and shields after a video showed them using excessive force during an arrest in a Brooklyn liquor store. The incident, which involved repeatedly punching the suspect, Timothy Brown, raised concerns about the lack of a clear body camera policy for the Narcotics Division. An ongoing review will clarify that all officers involved in drug suspect arrests must wear and activate body-worn cameras. The charges against Brown were dropped as he was not the intended suspect.
