"The video shows two Brooklyn North narcotics detectives repeatedly punching and kicking Timothy Brown inside a liquor store, leading to public outrage and scrutiny of police conduct."
"Authorities later determined that Brown was not involved in the drug sale and was not in possession of drugs, highlighting a case of mistaken identity."
The NYPD has disbanded a narcotics unit following a violent incident where officers were filmed beating Timothy Brown inside a liquor store. A 90-day review will assess narcotics enforcement policies, compliance, equipment, and training. Two detectives and their sergeant involved in the incident have been placed on modified duty, while additional officers overseeing the unit have been transferred. Brown was mistakenly identified as a suspect in a drug sale and was later found to be innocent, working in security.
