Earlier this year 18 year old Remarley Graham was gun down in his house by the NYPD becaue he was alledley armed with a gun,they chased him,confronted him inside his bathroom and fatally shot infront of his six year old brother and his grandmother,Remarley was unarmed and according the police they found a bag of marijuana but then again they were the NARC unit so that could of been planted on him.A year before that July 25,2010 Franclot Graham,Remarley's Father had an encounter with the 32nd Precinct,Franclot accused the NYPD and especially Deputy Inspector Kevin Cattalina of having a “tolerance for brutality.”
Franclot Graham, who lives in Harlem with his three other sons, claims that on the evening of July 25, 2010, they were hanging outside their W. 131st St. building with the boys’ grandmother, Gwendolyn Henry, when suddenly a squad car pulled up.
Henry urged the men to go inside, but police managed to knock out one son, Kadean, and capture another, Hodean, according to the lawsuit filed in July in Manhattan Supreme Court.
Franclot Graham made it inside — where another son, Tyrone, was — and tried to bar the door. It didn’t work and police “proceeded to beat Franclot and Tyrone with batons, fists and feet,” the suit states.
The battered dad said when he regained consciousness “police had removed his shorts, ripped his shirt off and dragged him to the hallway in his boxers.”
“The officers ... were stomping on his legs and ankles and were striking him,” the court papers state. “He was handcuffed behind his back.”
The elder Graham alleges cops called them “animals” and worse while dragging them to a waiting police van, where they were maced before the doors were closed.
While they were in a holding cell, Cattalina “taunted” them by pointing to his flexed bicep and telling them, “You would have gone straight to the hospital” if he had been on the scene.
The suit notes that disorderly conduct and obstructing government administration charges against Franclot Graham and the others were later dropped.
Four days later, on July 29, 2010, Franclot Graham claims police once again barged into their apartment without declaring they had a warrant. He alleges they pulled Kadean Graham out of bed and accused him of hiding a shotgun shell under his mattress in violation of his probation.
That charge too was eventually dismissed.
Two of the Franclot Graham’s sons were arrested again in November 2011 and charged with being part of a gun-toting gang.
Franclot Graham’s lawsuit surfaced a day after a colleague of Officer Richard Haste the cop who fatally shot Graham — told The Daily News that he “felt terrible” about killing the unarmed teen.
“He thought he was carrying, that’s why he did what he did,” the colleague said. “He had a split second to act.”
Haste is not a part of the 2010 lawsuit.
The Bronx district attorney’s office is now weighing whether to seek a grand jury indictment against Haste and another officer, Sgt. Scott Morris. Both officers have been stripped of their guns and badges.Its seems safe to say that the murder of Remarley was a retaliation of Franclot's lawsuite against the city and the 32Precent.
