NYPD: Brooklyn Construction Worker Alleges Cop Stole $1,300 in Cash, Pepper-Sprayed Him
The NYPD contends the officer took $62 and a cellphone before the man ran away, and the money and phone were vouchered at the police station, which the man has not picked up
A Brooklyn man claims a police officer pepper-sprayed him and robbed him of more than $1,300 in cash when he tried to intervene as a friend was stopped by police.
Cellphone video captured the confrontation just after midnight Sept. 16 when Lamar Joye was walking through a basketball court with friends in Coney Island.

Cops claimed that the $62 was vouchered but if the guy wasn't guilty, why take his money and phone in the first place? And it certainly doesn't look as though he was running away.
