NYPD to Pay $150,000 to Activist to Settle Lawsuit

HeadlineApr 18, 2007

And here in New York, the city’s police department has agreed to pay an activist $150,000 after she was kicked and kneed in the head by former Assistant Police Chief Bruce Smolka. Video shot by former Democracy Now! producer Ana Nogueira showed the activist Cynthia Greenberg getting kneed in the head by Smolka. The incident took place during a protest against both the war in Iraq and the U.S. government’s treatment of immigrants.
