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.

FACTS
1
2
3
14. 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.

12
13

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.

(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.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for relief as hereinafter set forth.

7
this Complaint.
53. The conduct of 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

6
and damages as set forth herein. Pursuant to Government Code Section 815.2(a), CITY is

incurred as a proximate result of the aforementioned wrongful conduct of Defendants.
