This 14-year-old boy was arrested by police, had his insulin pump ripped out and was charged with a heinous crime.
A Brooklyn teen and his family have filed a federal lawsuit
against the New York Police Department (NYPD) after officers reportedly denied the 14-year-old insulin while trying to falsely arrest him on attempted murder charges.
Richard Gonzalez reportedly wears an electronic insulin pump that is programmed to administer insulin to him every hour, but officers forcibly removed the pump as they were questioning the teen about his involvement in an April shooting that left another teen injured. Police reportedly got Gonzalez alone in the bathroom of the 83rd Precinct and tried to force a confession out of him using extreme measures.
Divian Ramos, Gonzalez’s mother, says that the officers used “balled fists” to try to “manipulate him into confessing." As it turns out, the officers reportedly arrested Gonzalez only because was Facebook friends with the shooting victim.
“I was scared,” Gonzalez told the New York Daily News, alleging that one officer told him, “You’re going down.”
