LIer arrested during RNC to sue city (Believed to be 1st RNC claim)

[Khephra]

A man who says he was just trying to buy theater tickets when he was arrested along with hundreds of anti-Republican National Convention protesters two weeks ago took the first step Monday toward filing a $100,000 false-arrest lawsuit against the city.

Mark Perro, 21, whose parents live on Long Island, filed a notice of claim alleging that on Aug. 31, while the convention was at Madison Square Garden, he was falsely arrested, was physically and verbally abused and was denied his right to a lawyer for nearly 48 hours.

Perro's notice of claim, believed to be the first stemming from the more than 1,800 arrests during the four-day convention, was filed at the comptroller's office and the law department, a required first step before someone can sue the city or its agencies. The lawsuit can then be filed after 90 days.

Law department spokeswoman Kate O'Brien Ahlers said her office had received Perro's notice of claim and was studying it.

2. Sue the RNC!!!!

[leesa]

3. Excellent! All the arrests were strictly PR for the RNC and the NYPD

should be ashamed for participating in this sham. ESPECIALLY when the protestors treated the cops like gold.

[EST]

4. A million dollars

That what I would start with for such treatment from such overzealous denizens.

[0rganism]

5. So, if 1,000 arrestees each sued for $100,000...

Do the math.

Mikey Bloomberg just spent $100 MILLION DOLLARS of NYC taxpayers' money so he could kiss some republican ass at ground zero.

6. Hell yes, all these people need to burn them for that bullshit they pulled

[struggle4progress]

7. kick for attempts to intimidate by mass arrests

:kick:

8. Good!

Money is the only thing that the fascists seems to understand. I hope that every single protester who was denied their legal rights sues the hell out of NYC.
