A Brooklyn landlord who was arrested and shackled to a hospital bed for 17 days is taking her case against the city to a jury.
A trial is slated to begin Monday in the case of Karen Brim, who claims NYPD officers roughed her up in the stairwell of her Flatbush building as they pursued four teens who had been hanging out on the roof.
They chased the youths into Brim’s building, entering via the roof, as Brim was mopping a hallway, leading to the violent April 2012 encounter.
Brim, 44, says she tried to tell the officers the teens were visitors, not trespassers, but they threw her to the ground, leaving her leg broken in two places.
She ended up in Kings County Hospital, where she needed multiple surgeries, plates and screws to repair her leg. /source/
This lady is definitely a victim. However, the taxpayer here are also the victims. Money is another story, the main thing is that NYPD again threatens the life of an American citizen. Break both fucking legs! Imagine how you gotta deal with a live person to injured her that hard. Disgusting!
