NY officials say dashcam proves woman's allegations she was assaulted by cops are 'false'
Fox News
A Democratic elected official in Suffolk County, New York announced Friday that an internal investigation involving review of dash camera footage proved that allegations brought by a Black woman claiming she was assaulted by police officers in the aftermath of a recent shooting were false.
"The evidence, in fact, indicated these officers acted in the best interests of this victim," Bellone, a Democrat, told reporters at the county government offices in Hauppauge. The announcement came after Cindy M. O'Pharrow filed a notice of claim against Suffolk County and its police department, alleging that officers injured her arm while forcibly removing her an ambulance following a June 27 shooting at a Dix Hills graduation party. Her attorney, Frederick K. Brewington, held a press conference of his own July 7 announcing the claim, which also alleged officers cursed at O’Pharrow, refused to provide their names and shined flashlights into her cell phone when she tried to take photos and video of police at the scene.More Related News
