What Happened...
On
Thursday, June 21, 2007 Mr. and
Mrs. Warren became victims of police abuse in Brooklyn when they both were stopped in their car at a red light at the intersection of
Atlantic & Vanderbilt Avenues in
Brooklyn, only a few blocks from where they live and practice law.
They observed many
NYPD officers chasing a young man across the parking lot of a
McDonald's.
The police caught the young man and proceeded to start beating him, in full view of hundreds of people, including children.
Tarif stepped out of his car and yelled at the police to stop beating the young man. The same police, led by a sergeant, came over to the
Warrens' vehicle, reached in and started beating Tarif, then dragged him out of the car and arrested him. When
Evelyn objected, she too was arrested—and hit in the face.
