Two Brooklyn, NY., men have initiated a lawsuit against the NYPD; the suit alleges that back in 2012 on Coney Isalnd, police officers demanded that the pair turnover the bag of White Castle sliders as they exited a taxi, when the pair refused they were arrested. At the time the two men were being taken into custody, police were involved in a roundup of suspected looters in the area and claim that the men were in the way of them performing their duties. Or perhaps they were just really craving some White Castle!
According to the Daily News, Danny Maisonet and Kenneth Glover claim they were struck with flashlights and handcuffed. They were charged with obstructing government administration and disorderly conduct — not looting.
Officer Angelo Pizzarro swore in the complaint that Glover and Maisonet were standing in his way and forced him to walk around them while struggling with the alleged looters.
The charges against the duo were ultimately dismissed.
The City Law Department declined to comment.
