Section 1983 and pendent tort claims) JURY TRIAL DEMANDED 24 Defendants. 25 26 27 /// /// /// 28 1 1 INTRODUCTION 2 1. These claims arise out of the unlawful use of force choking and arrest of 3 an off-duty, African-American Police Officer, LORENZO ADAMSON, by fellow 4 CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO Police Officers, on May 30, 2013. CITY OF SAN 5 6 FRANCISCO Police Officers stopped Mr. ADAMSON for a traffic violation. 7 CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO Police Officer BRIAN STANSBURY came up to 8 Mr. ADAMSON’s window and immediately asked him if he was on parole, 9 without bothering to ask for his license and insurance. CITY OF SAN 10 FRANCISCO Police Officer DANIEL DUDLEY told Mr. ADAMSON to get out 11 of the car and inexplicably lead him to the curb. Mr. ADAMSON identified 12 13 himself as a San Francisco Police Officer. Despite identifying himself as a 14 Police Officer, Officer DUDLEY came up from behind Mr. ADAMSON and 15 began applying a carotid chokehold. Mr. ADAMSON attempted to show the 16 officers his San Francisco Police Department issued badge. Mr. ADAMSON was 17 18 unable to breathe and feared for his life as he fell to the ground with Officer DUDLEY choking him. Finally, another patrol car arrived and identified Mr. 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ADAMSON as a San Francisco Police Officer. Mr. ADAMSON was subsequently treated for his injuries and cited for resisting arrest. JURISDICTION 2. This action arises under Title 42 of the United States Code, Section 1983. Title 28 of the United States Code, Sections 1331 and 1343 confers jurisdiction upon this Court.

On May 30, 2013, at 8:17 p.m., Plaintiff LORENZO ADAMSON was driving northbound on Lane Street, in San Francisco, California. Mr. Adamson is a San Francisco 4 Police Officer who is currently on disability leave. 5 6 15. Mr. Adamson saw a CITY Police Department patrol car make a U-turn and pull up 7 behind him with its lights flashing. Mr. Adamson pulled-over near the intersection of 8 Third and Newcomb Streets. Three CITY Police officers were in the patrol car. CITY 9 Police Officer STANSBURY was working as a Field Training Officer. CITY Police 10 Officers DUDLEY and O’BRIEN were participating in field training, under the 11 supervision of Defendant STANSBURY. Defendant STANSBURY walked up to the car 12 13 14 and told Mr. Adamson, “I pulled you over because there is no license plate on your car.” 16. Defendant STANSBURY asked Mr. Adamson, “Are you on parole or probation?” 15 Mr. Adamson knew that this was not what he practiced when enacting a traffic stop and 16 noted the officer’s name on his name badge. The name badge said ‘STANSBURY.’ Mr. 17 18 Adamson asked Defendant STANSBURY, “Officer Stansbury, why are you asking if I am on parole or probation?” Defendant STANSBURY replied, “Because you don’t have a 19 20 license plate on your car.” Mr. Adamson asked Defendant STANSBURY, “What does not 21 having a plate on my car have to do with being on parole or probation? Shouldn’t you be 22 asking for my license, registration and insurance?” Defendant STANSBURY replied, 23 “That’s what we do out here.” 24 25 17. Defendant STANSBURY told Mr. Adamson to take his keys out of the ignition and Mr. Adamson complied. Defendant STANSBURY then told Mr. Adamson, “If you don’t 26 27 answer my question I am going to take you out of the car.” Mr. Adamson did not respond 28 5 1 to Defendant STANSBURY’s unwarranted question. Then Defendant STANSBURY 2 ordered Defendant DUDLEY to get Mr. Adamson out of the car. 3 18. Defendant DUDLEY opened Mr. Adamson’s driver side door and told him to get 4 out of the car. Mr. Adamson immediately complied, got out of the car with his hands 5 6 extended up in the air and asked, “Officer, what do you want me to do?” The officers lead 7 Mr. Adamson to the curb. Mr. Adamson’s concern for his safety grew when he realized 8 that the officers were deviating from what he understood as standard police practice and 9 procedures. Mr. Adamson asked the officers, “Why are you taking me out of the car on a 10 traffic stop?” One of the officers told Mr. Adamson, “Sit on the curb.” Mr. Adamson told 11 the officers, “I can’t, I’m on DP for a low back injury.” ‘DP’ is police jargon for disability 12 13 leave. 14 19. One of the officers forcefully grabbed Mr. Adamson’s wrist and said, “Sit 15 down.” Mr. Adamson then explained to the defendant officers, “Before this goes 16 any further, I’m an officer and I work out of Bayview Station.” At this point, 17 18 the officers knew that Mr. Adamson was an officer and that he was on leave for a back injury; however, Defendant DUDLEY escalated the incident when he 19 20 inexplicably jumped onto Mr. Adamson’s back and began applying a carotid 21 restraint hold to Mr. Adamson. The defendant officer unsuccessfully applied the 22 carotid restraint hold on Mr. Adamson and consequently began choking Mr. 23 Adamson. Mr. Adamson frantically repeated, “I’m a cop, I’m a cop,” as he was 24 25 being choked and gasping for air. Mr. Adamson and Defendant DUDLEY then fell to the ground with DUDLEY landing on top of Mr. Adamson. 26 27 20. Mr. Adamson lifted his shirt to display his San Francisco Police badge and gun to 28 6 1 the Defendant officers. Defendant O’BRIEN then grabbed Mr. Adamson’s gun from his 2 waistband while Defendant DUDLEY lay on top of Mr. Adamson. Mr. Adamson told the 3 officers, “Hurry up and cuff me.” The Defendant officers placed Mr. Adamson in 4 handcuffs, and laid him facedown on the ground until backup officers arrived. 5 6 21. Thereafter, CITY police officers, Michael Ellis and Reginald Scott arrived and 7 confirmed that Mr. Adamson was indeed a CITY police officer. Then the Defendant 8 officers picked Mr. Adamson up off the ground and removed his handcuffs. 9 10 22. Mr. Adamson was in severe pain and asked for an ambulance, but the Defendant officers did not call an ambulance. Instead, Defendant officers took Mr. Adamson to the 11 Bayview CITY Police Department station in an unmarked patrol car while another officer 12 13 drove Mr. Adamson’s car to the station. Sometime later, paramedics were called and they 14 transported Mr. Adamson from the Bayview station to a Kaiser medical facility in San 15 Francisco. The incident aggravated Mr. Adamson’s back injuries. Then, adding insult to 16 injury, the Defendant officers cited Mr. Adamson for resisting arrest and vehicle code 17 18 violations. 23. All criminal charges against Mr. Adamson were later discharged by CITY District 19 20 Attorney’s office. 21 DAMAGES 22 24. The battery of LORENZO ADAMSON as described herein was brutal, malicious 23 24 25 and done without any just provocation or cause, proximately causing Plaintiff’s injuries and resulting damages. 25. As a proximate result of Defendants’ conduct, Plaintiff suffered pain and physical 26 27 injuries from being choked and tackled to the ground. As a further proximate result of 28 7 1 Defendants’ conduct, Plaintiff suffered severe and extreme emotional distress, fear, terror, 2 anxiety, humiliation, and loss of his sense of security, dignity, and pride as a United States 3 citizen. 4 26. The conduct of Defendants STANSBURY, O’BRIEN, DUDLEY and DOES 1-25 5 6 7 8 9 10 was malicious, wanton, and oppressive. Plaintiff is therefore entitled to an award of punitive damages against said Defendant Police Officers for CITY. 27. Plaintiff found it necessary to engage the services of private counsel to vindicate his rights under the law. Plaintiff is therefore entitled to an award of all attorneys’ fees incurred in relation to this action for violation of his civil rights. 11 FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION 12 (42 U.S.C. Section 1983) 13 14 (Against Defendant Officers STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25) 15 28. Plaintiff hereby re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein paragraphs 1 16 17 18 through 27 of this Complaint. 29. In doing the acts complained of herein, Defendant STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25, inclusive, and/or each of them, acted under color of law to 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 deprive Plaintiff of certain constitutionally protected rights, including, but not limited to: a. The right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, as guaranteed by the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution; b. The right not to be deprived of life or liberty without due process of law, as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution; c. The right to be free from the use of excessive force by police officers, 26 27 which is guaranteed by the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United 28 8 1 2 3 States Constitution; d. The right to equal protection of the laws, as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; 4 30. Said rights are substantive guarantees under the Fourth and/or Fourteenth 5 6 7 Amendments to the United States Constitution. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as hereinafter set forth. 8 SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION 9 (Monell) 10 (42 U.S.C. §1983) 11 (Against CITY, CHIEF and DOES 26-50) 12 13 14 15 16 17 31. Plaintiff hereby re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein paragraphs 1 through 30 of this Complaint. 32. As against Defendants CITY, CHIEF and/or DOES 26-50 and/or each of them, individually and/or in their capacities as official policy-maker(s) for CITY, the Plaintiff further alleges that the acts and/or omissions alleged in the Complaint herein are indicative 18 and representative of a repeated course of conduct by members of Defendant CITY 19 20 tantamount to a custom, policy or repeated practice of condoning and tacitly encouraging 21 the abuse of police authority, and disregard for the constitutional rights of citizens, such as 22 decedent and Plaintiff. 23 24 25 33. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that the acts and/or omissions alleged herein are the proximate result of a custom, policy, pattern or practice of deliberate indifference by Defendants CITY, CHIEF and DOES 26-50 and/or each of them, to the 26 27 repeated violations of the constitutional rights of citizens by CITY police officers, which 28 9 1 have included, but are not limited to, repeated acts of: making false reports, using 2 excessive and/or arbitrary force, deadly force and/or engaging in similar acts of 3 misconduct on a repeated basis and failure to institute and enforce a consistent disciplinary 4 policy. 5 6 34. Plaintiff is further informed, believes and thereon alleges that these abuses of 7 authority, including excessive force, racial profiling and racial discrimination are part of 8 department training and practice, as indicated by Field Training Officer STANSBURY’s 9 actions of asking about Plaintiff’s parole status which is contrary to known San Francisco 10 Police Department policy and then excusing his conduct by saying ‘that’s what we do out 11 here.’ Plaintiff is further informed, believes and thereon alleges the CITY has not 12 13 disciplined or retrained any of the officers that have engaged in excessive use of force. 14 Plaintiff is further informed, believes and thereon alleges the CITY has ratified, approved 15 and condoned the aforementioned uses of deadly force and loss of life. 16 17 18 35. Plaintiff is further informed and believes and thereon alleges the damages sustained as alleged herein were the proximate result of customs, policies and/or practices which included, but were not limited to, the failure to adequately or appropriately hold officers 19 20 accountable for their misconduct, the failure to properly and fairly investigate complaints 21 about officers’ misconduct, the failure to enact or adopt policies to ensure adequate and/or 22 appropriate oversight of officers to prevent continuing violations of the rights of citizens. 23 36. Plaintiff is further informed and believes and thereon alleges that the damages 24 25 sustained as alleged herein were the proximate result of customs, policies and/or practices, which included, but were not limited to, the failure to adequately or appropriately train 26 27 officers in making detentions and/or arrests. 28 10 1 a. The aforementioned deliberate indifference, customs, policies or practices of 2 defendants CITY, CHIEF and DOES 26-50, and/or each of them, resulted in 3 the deprivation of the constitutional rights of the Plaintiff, including, but not 4 limited to, the following: the right not to be deprived of life, liberty or 5 6 property without Due Process of Law; 7 b. the right to be free from unreasonable searches and/or seizures; and/or, 8 c. the right to enjoy civil and statutory rights. 9 10 37. Said rights are substantive guarantees under the Fourth and/or Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. 11 38. As a result of the violation of their constitutional rights by Defendants CITY, 12 13 14 15 CHIEF and/or DOES 26-50 and/or each of them, Plaintiff sustained the injuries and/or damages as alleged heretofore in this Complaint. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as hereinafter set forth. 16 THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION 17 (Violation of State Statutory Rights) 18 (Violation of CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §51.7) 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 (Against Defendants STANSBURY, DUDLEY, OBRIEN and DOES 1 – 25) 39. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein paragraphs 1 through 38 of this Complaint. 40. Plaintiff is informed, believes and thereon alleges that the conduct of Defendant STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25, inclusive, as described herein, was motivated by racial prejudice against LORENZO ADAMSON. Plaintiff is and was readily 26 27 recognizable as African-American. When Plaintiff asked why he was being questioned 28 11 1 about his status as a parolee, Defendant STANSBURY replied “that’s what we do out 2 here.” CITY’S Bayview District is one of the few areas in CITY with a sizeable African 3 American population. Accordingly, Plaintiff is informed and believes Defendant 4 STANSBURY’S asked about Plaintiff’s status as a parolee because Plaintiff is an African5 6 American. In engaging in such conduct, Defendants violated Plaintiff’s rights under 7 California Civil Code §51.7 to be free from violence, or intimidation by threat of violence 8 committed against Plaintiff because of his race. 9 10 41. Under the provisions of California Civil Code §52(b), Defendants are liable for punitive damages for each violation of Civil Code §51.7, reasonable attorney’s fees and an 11 additional $25,000.00. 12 13 14 15 42. As a proximate result of Defendants’ wrongful conduct, Plaintiff suffered damages as hereinafter set forth. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as hereinafter set forth. 16 FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION 17 18 (Violation of Civil Code Section 52.1) (Plaintiff against Defendants STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25) 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 43. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein paragraphs 1 through 42 of this Complaint. 44. The conduct of Defendants STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25, inclusive, as described herein, acting in the course and scope of their employment for CITY, violated California Civil Code Section 52.1, in that they interfered with Plaintiff’s exercise and enjoyment of his civil rights, through use of wrongful and excessive force and 26 27 failure to make a proper or reasonable arrest of Plaintiff, all accomplished through force, 28 12 1 2 3 threats, intimidation, and coercion. 45. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants’ violation of Civil Code Section 52.1 Plaintiff suffered violation of his constitutional rights, and suffered damages as set 4 forth herein. 5 6 7 8 9 10 46. Since this conduct occurred in the course and scope of their employment, CITY is therefore liable to Plaintiff pursuant to respondeat superior. 47. Plaintiff is entitled to injunctive relief and an award of his reasonable attorney’s fees pursuant to Civil Code Section 52.1(h). WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief, as hereinafter set forth. 11 FIFTH CAUSE OF ACTION 12 (Assault and Battery) 13 14 15 16 17 18 (Against Defendants STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25) 48. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein paragraphs 1 through 47 of this Complaint. 49. Defendants STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25, inclusive, placed Plaintiff in immediate fear of death and severe bodily harm by deviating from 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 department policy; forcing him out of his car; leading him out of public view and choking him, without any just provocation or cause. 50. These Defendants’ conduct was neither privileged nor justified under statute or common law. 51. As a proximate result of defendants’ conduct, Plaintiff suffered damages as hereinafter set forth. 26 27 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as hereinafter set forth. 28 13 1 SIXTH CAUSE OF ACTION 2 (Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress) 3 (Against Defendant STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25) 4 52. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein paragraphs 1 through 51 of 5 6 7 this Complaint. 53. The conduct of Defendants STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25, 8 inclusive, as set forth herein, were extreme and outrageous and beyond the scope of 9 conduct which should be tolerated by citizens in a democratic and civilized society. 10 Defendants committed these extreme and outrageous acts with the intent to inflict severe 11 mental and emotional distress upon Plaintiff. 12 13 54. As a proximate result of Defendants’ willful, intentional and malicious conduct, 14 plaintiff suffered severe and extreme mental and emotional distress. Therefore, Plaintiff is 15 entitled to an award of punitive damages as against said defendants. Plaintiff has suffered 16 damages as hereinafter set forth. 17 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as hereinafter set forth. 18 SEVENTH CAUSE OF ACTION 19 (Negligence) 20 21 22 23 24 25 (Against Defendants STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN and DOES 1-25) 55. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates by reference herein paragraphs 1 through 54 of this complaint, except for any and all allegations of intentional, malicious, extreme, outrageous, wanton, and oppressive conduct by defendants, and any and all allegations requesting punitive damages. 26 27 56. At all times herein mentioned, Defendants STANSBURY, DUDLEY, O’BRIEN 28 14 1 and DOES 1-25, inclusive, were subject to a duty of care to avoid causing unnecessary 2 physical harm and distress to persons through their use of force and making of arrests. The 3 wrongful conduct of Defendants, as set forth herein, did not comply with the standard of 4 care to be exercised by reasonable persons, proximately causing plaintiff to suffer injuries 5 6 and damages as set forth herein. Pursuant to Government Code Section 815.2(a), CITY is 7 vicariously liable to Plaintiff for his injuries and damages suffered as alleged herein, 8 incurred as a proximate result of the aforementioned wrongful conduct of Defendants. 9 10 57. As a proximate result of Defendants’ negligent conduct, Plaintiff suffered severe physical injury, severe emotional and mental distress, injury having a traumatic effect on 11 Plaintiff’s emotional tranquility, and suffered damages. 12 13 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as hereinafter set forth. JURY DEMAND 14 15 58. Plaintiff hereby demands a jury trial in this action. 16 17 PRAYER WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief, as follows: 18 1. For general damages in a sum to be determined according to proof; 19 20 2. For special damages, including but not limited to, past, present and/or future 21 wage loss, income and support, medical expenses and other special damages in a sum to be 22 determined according to proof; 23 24 25 3.
