NYC Settled Lawsuits Against Homocon Candidate

City & State reports:

In her bid to unseat Pat Ryan from the 18th Congressional District, Republican Alison Esposito has touted her 25 years of experience in the New York City Police Department as proof she has what it takes to “restore law and order.”

Twice in Esposito’s career, the city settled lawsuits and paid people who alleged that Esposito had treated them unlawfully. In 2005, Esposito was sued by three Black women who accused her and other NYPD officers of violating their civil rights by wrongfully arresting them on suspicion of shoplifting.

The city ultimately settled the case for $95,000. In 2017, Esposito was sued for allegedly arresting and assaulting an infant. The city paid the infant’s mother a $25,000 settlement.

Read the full article. Earlier this week it was reported that Esposito was sanctioned by the NYPD for allowing her gun and badge to be stolen from an unlocked car. There’s much more about the two cases cited above at the link.

When she was in the NYPD, Alison Esposito was sued twice for wrongfully arresting innocent people. NYC paid $120,000 to settle the lawsuits. Now Esposito is running for Congress. @TimmyFacciola_ has the story: https://t.co/6CRbQ9Ovf3
