Four Troy police officers are on trial in U.S. District Court in Utica, accused in a civil case of beating a man during his arrest outside a Congress Street bar in 2018.
Attorneys for the plaintiff, Lamont Lee, contend in a pre-trial brief that city Patrolmen Christopher Parker, Louis Perfetti, Justin Ashe and Kyle Jones used “gratuitous and excessive force” allegedly using their knees, punches and a choke hold against Lee on the night of March 3, 2018 outside Vivian’s Bar on Congress Street.
3:48 Police reform advocates rallied outside of Troy police headquarters against a proposal before the city council that would transfer funding to hire six new officers.
In April, the Troy City Council’s Finance Committee in a 5 to 2 vote advanced a budget transfer for the hiring of six new police officers. The transfer now before the city council is intended to get new hires through the police academy and onto the beat six months earlier than if the spending waited until 2022.
But advocates, many of whom criticized the city’s state-mandated police reform process, say throwing more officers at the problem will not improve the lives of Black and brown residents or build trust between the police department and the people of Troy.
