CItizen Complaint 2 ~ Harassment, Brutality and Prevention of Freedom of Speech : IMC Worcester

Date, Time and Location of Incident: 12:45am on July 22nd, on Sidewalk in front of 5 Sycamore St

Statement of Complaint:

Specific Complaints:

At approximately 12:47am, 2 police cruisers parked on Sycamore Street. Officer Rojas approached Kevin and told us to “Get the fuck out of here.” We both replied that we were just handing out flyers. Then 5-6 officers got out the vehicles and approached the people with whom we were speaking and others on the steps of 5 Sycamore Street. They started searching 3 individual’s pockets. Officer Rojas yelled at us again to “Go the fuck home,” and Kevin read his nametag out loud as he left where we were on the sidewalk and had gone up to search people on the steps.

We continued to stand on the sidewalk and talk to people by the fence. Another police cruiser arrived and more police officers got out of their car. At no time did either Kevin or I step onto the building’s property or interfere with the searches. We did not speak disrespectfully to any PO or instigate their discourteous behavior. One person carrying a large video camera was filming them searching the people who had been standing on the steps.

Kevin then took out his camera and took a few photos from a distance and the officers continued to search people on the steps. Rojas came over to where Kevin was standing on the sidewalk with his camera and grabbed Kevin’s neck and started twisting Kevin’s hands behind his back and cuffed him. Kevin asked why they were detaining him. They confiscated his camera. I asked to have his camera, and the arresting officer yelled at me if I wanted to be arrested with him. I replied that we were standing on a public sidewalk, flyering. Officer Rojas got in my face and told me to stand in a driveway 15 feet away. I moved to the driveway and continued to watch them harass Kevin and then continue a search of a person on the steps for 5 minutes. Officer Rojas then yelled to me that he was being really nice there, meaning with the person he was searching, and would I “go the fuck home.” I replied that I was standing where he asked me to.

At this point Officer Tarckini approached me, got in my face and abruptly told me to “go the fuck away” and then asked where I live. I replied that I live in Worcester and that I was standing where Officer Rojas had asked me to stand. Officer Tarckini asked me for my ID, which I gave to him. He read my name and while reading my address, I looked at his nametag. He said “oh you’re going to look at my nametag you little fuck?” and proceeded to push me very forcefully. He painfully grabbed my throat and pushed me down the hill. He threw my ID into the street and continued to yell at me to “go the fuck home” and called me several profanities including a “piece of shit.” I went to pick up my ID and was walking away when he pursued me and pushed me while yelling “You’re moving too slow, you piece of shit.” At approx. 12:57am I left the area.

wtf

What happened to the republican's post? Was he correct to imply of censorship? Mr. Ksen can tell his story, but that republican can not. I am disapointed. very much so.

Wow

I heard that you and Kevin got some shit from the cops, but I had no idea it was so bad.

wats worse is..

Kevin hides my story...for a reason.

the "republican"

the shit from the cops i recieved...was sent on by the liberal city government....

Lawyer Hector Pinero told Wo-Mag..

THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR HAVE BEEN IGNORING POLICE BRUTALITY FOR YEARS..

in summary......it is mayor murray, clany, lukes, haller, etc...
...they are civilly responsible. MOSTELY DEMOCRATS!!!

and do not forget CongressMAN Jim McGovern....yes!!! Police brutality is a federal issue...and he ignores it!!!

He only likes baby killers like Cuba , Iran and venuezulaa dictators....YES!!! these ppl have killed babies, women and men.

huh?

huh? what's going on?

and why do people keep using fake names? are we supposed to do that or something? i'm so confused...

fake names are fro protection

Fake names are for protection.....Waht u should be asking....why is the "republican arrested" being censored here.....and NEVER being allowed the main page....only the comments section.

maybe.....cuz the truth of the REAL RASCISTS MAYOR MURRAY....is being censored here.

Maybe...cuz mayor murray was OK for DA Conte leting child rapists go free....one actually killinh, eating and feeeding a dead boy to others.

Maybe Cuz..mayor murray...actually supported DA Conte , heavily, in the past.

Maybe cuz , worcester city employees are talkinh of a hostile work environment in city hall. And mayor murray will only put white men on all civilian boards and commisions.

WORCESTER IS THE RASCIST CITY (GOVERNMENT) AND PEOPLE HERE WANT TO CENSOR THAT FACT....INCLUDING THE TELEGRAM AND GAZZETTE....DESPITE IS A CHILD GOT CANIBALIZED.......FROM THIS CORRUPTION.

that is why people do not uses their real names.

RETALIATION for thos who stand up against Murray, Conte , and the entire city council.ALL WHITE MEN.

Why do u think Indiana K...refuses to put any blame on the Mayor for his false arrest??

Police are let to roam free....by mayor murray.
Why do you think ALL the police unions endorse? Answer....it is sooo cooool that we get to beet up blacks, spics, and the poorr...Murray is our god.Murray?
