From Notice of Claim
A lawsuit filed on Thursday alleges that Suffolk County Police Department lied, hid from a body camera, and provided false evidence in an effort to cover up the beating of a handcuffed man who is an alleged car thief.
On Tuesday night, Police Commissioner Garoldine Hart announced the suspension of two officers who repeatedly kicked Christopher Cruz while he was handcuffed and surrounded by nearly a dozen officers. Hart also placed four other officers on modified duty, including a supervisor.
County District Attorney Tim Sini announced a criminal investigation into the incident.
Cruz’s lawyer and civil rights attorney Fred Brewington said police gave false statements, fabricated evidence, and perjured themselves.
