NYPD robs a citizen and pepper sprays the victim and his sister

Desperate cops do desperate things. New York officers started harassing a man by the name of Terrel Haskins when Lamard Joye asked the officers if was necessary to harass Haskins. That's when attention turned on Joye and he was pushed against a fence by an officer who then began to search him taking cash out of Joye's pocket. The amount stolen was reported to total $1300. Joye repeatedly asked for his money back but the officer responded with pepper spray. A woman tries to identify the officer asking for a badge number and she too was pepper sprayed.

Huffington post reports, Joye's lawyer Robert Marinelli, told the publication it was one of the most disturbing things he had ever seen.

“I believe that this officer made an assumption that any money Mr. Joye possessed was obtained illegally and therefore he would not report the theft. This assumption was wrong," Marinelli said.
"Mr. Joye is a hardworking taxpayer deserving respect."

The lawyer told the New York Post that his client had $1,300 on him so he could treat he and his wife to a night on the town in celebration of his 35th birthday.

ABC 7 eyewitness news also reported that the officer has not turned the money in or wrote a report about the incident further proving the cop was just looking for valuables to take.
