Paterson police brutality: Details vary in telling of 3 alleged cases

Osamah Alsaidi The case of 19-year-old city resident Osamah Alsaidi led to federal charges against two officers after a video of the incident showed up on social media. An FBI agent who watched the video said in court papers that it showed two of the officers involved Kevin Patino and Kendry Tineo-Restituyo had assaulted the teenager and falsified a Police Department incident report. What police records say: The police were called about a “suspicious person” on Madison Avenue at 12:30 a.m. on Dec. 14. Patino wrote in a report that Alsaidi walked toward the officers “screaming profanities and acting belligerent causing a disturbance to residents in the surrounding area.” Alsaidi then allegedly “proceeded to get an aggressive stance” before moving toward Patino and striking him with a closed fist, causing him to fall backward. Alsaidi allegedly was holding Patino when Tineo-Restituyo took him to the ground.
