N.Y. Cops Brutally Beat Handcuffed Woman In Backseat After False Accusal Of Pet Droppings.

Ann Stanczyk had a Black Friday she'll never forget - the 49-year-old Queens woman says she was humiliated and beaten by two NYPD cops in a dispute over dog droppings.

Pictures taken by her son a day after the Nov. 26 incident show Stanczyk with a welt under one eye and a garish purple bruise on her breast, plus injuries to her hands and knee.

Yesterday, the Polish immigrant filed a complaint with the Civilian Complaint Review Board and plans to sue.

"I just doing it to protect other people from police brutality," Stanczyk told the Daily News. "I don't want what happened to me happen to anyone else. I want to protect the others. If it can happen to me it can happen to other people."

Stanczyk, a married housewife from Rockaway Beach, was walking her terrier, Psotka - Polish for "prankster" - when she wound up in a confrontation with two uniformed officers from the 100th Precinct, Shaun Grossweiler and Richard DeMartino.

"They saw my dog and they said I didn't clean up," said Stanczyk, fighting back tears as she spoke in halting English. "I said, 'No, she only pee.' They, of course, not agree with me and I say, 'Show me. Where is it?'"

The officers found dog feces nearby, she said.

"Pick it up," she said one cop ordered her. "I got scared. I pick up. I said, 'It's cold, not belong to my dog.' When I smiled and said I didn't do anything, that made them very upset."

At that point, Stanczyk was handcuffed and arrested. When she used her feet to try to prevent them from closing the patrol car door to secure her, she says, the beating began.

"I get scared to death," she said. "I started to scream, 'My dog! My dog!' They punch me in my face. They punch me in my breast. They punch me in my stomach."

A neighbor ran over to take Psotka and cops took Stanczyk to the precinct. She was treated for her injuries - her knee still requires physical therapy - and charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Court papers indicate police accused Stanczyk of causing a ruckus by yelling at the officers to leave her alone. They also said she locked her hands in front of her to avoid arrest.

The case was adjourned until May, when it will be dismissed as long as she stays out of trouble.

Stanczyk had never been arrested before. She lost her job as a nurse in 2008 when she failed to attend a training program after an argument with a coworker. Her lawyer, Jon Norinsberg, said the workplace disagreement is "something that uneqivocally had nothing to do with what happened with police beating her the way they beat her."

Stanczyk said nothing she did warranted her injuries. She can't get past what happened.

"I am afraid to leave the apartment," she said. "I call my friends and beg them to go out with me. I feel better to stay home all the time."

Grossweiler, a four-year veteran, and DeMartino, a 10-year veteran, did not respond to a request for comment.

    • FACT: any human of the sort of there life being the way those two officers life is just shows them two dudes just don't get no pussy nd there miserable with there life's nd they most likely were either molested as a child, or just abused nd made fun of in school nd/or streets, maybe even home. Point blank they should just get there head poped off or just suffer a severe nd crewel death. i hope charges were made nd stuck thru for the rest of there lifes.

    • What happened with "Innocent until PROVEN guilty?" Everyone here assumes guilt on the part of those officers without any sort of anything resembling a trial. Remember, the burden of proof is on the accuser. So if you are asserting that these cops are guilty of what they are accused of...show me some proof.

      Your assumption is that she got them from the Police. I am not saying she didn't, but you are assuming that she did with no evidence. If bruises are all the evidence it took to convict someone, then we could convict her son..the one who took the pictures. He was with her, and now she has bruises...ergo, he must be guilty. I am not trying to defend the Police here, I am just trying to promote the idea that a person is innocent until PROVEN guilty. Myself, I will reserve juedgment until I see evidence that THEY caused those bruises. And I will not assume guilt based on no evidence other than a prejudice I have towards the police. Whether that prejudice is warranted or not. Don't become the monster to stop the monster.

      There is plenty of evidence..She has a witness and circumstantial evidence...Why arrest a citizen for a minor violation? The American police is out of control...She protested, and they whipped her butt..It is as simple as that..

      I'll wait to see the witness deposed and see the defense present their case. You can go ahead and make a pretrial judgment if you wish. I do not believe in innocent until proven guilty UNLESS you are a cop, then it is FRY THAT PIG. I actually believe in innocent until PROVEN guilty.

      I do too, however in this case all evidence points toward the arresting officers..I am confident, if the woman had just received a beating from anyone, she wouldn't be dog walking..The police would have arrested her so-called attacker..I am not anti-cops, however I despise brutality in any form..There are numerous good/dedicated policemen.. Society would be chaotic without them, but their job is to serve and protect, not beat/kill the ones that pay their salary!

    • I was at the beach in Santa Monica... eating some lunch on a grassy area. Three cops on horses decided to stroll by and their horses did their duty right on the grass where everyone sits, has picnics, or plays frisbees. While the horse shat everywhere some tourists took a picture with the cops. They left and did not pick up the poop, just left it there. By the beach. If my dog would have done that I would have been fined, but they just left. They had more important business to take of, like photo op's with tourists.

      Fuck cops, and fuck the government. If your going to tell us what to do, lead by example. If not don't expect us to follow.

      This is messed up and uncalled for.

    • God Almighty I hate the police with everything I have inside me.

      I've said it before and I will say it again. One day those shiny badges will be nothing more than targets, just aim a little to the left and a few inches higher to get the throat shot.

      I would only call them to drag out the dead and mangled corpse. I live miles and miles away from any piggie shop out in the sticks. If My pit didnt eat them I would blow the &^$@#^* heads clean off their shoulders with a 12 gauge.

      And yes, I keep that 12 gauge loaded and next to me at night. Let them come.

      oh, you're one of those guys. Sit around with the shotgun for when the FBI comes to take all your guns? when you come home to a cleaned out house you would just drive to town with your shotgun to find the people who did it right? And of course if more than one guy came you'd get them all right?

      Thats right Im a tough guy. You made a statement about me calling the cops if my home was being robbed and I told you that I wouldnt wait for the cops because I dont live anywhere near a piggie shop. You see, not everyone lives in a city. I understand that you have no concept of life outside of a city and that there are folks who live very rural lives but believe me we do exist outside of city limits. Hell when I lived in NV I was 30 miles from a cop shop.

      Nice try, I live in the country too. I garden, I have a wood stove, but I still acknowledge that I require modern services, and I'm pretty sure you do too, unless you generate your own energy, grow all your own food, have a solar well, your own sewer system or an outhouse, don't go to a store, the list goes on... I'm just stereotyping you. Would you go to the cops if you came home to an empty house or someone got kidnapped? Who takes actual criminals off the street?

    • figures the douche patrol would do that... they are COWARDS with a gun! But let's be realistic about this, the police dept is going to come back and say, they didn't do anything wrong... that's how they get away with beating up people... the PD finds any bullshit to say the person was at fault...

      FUCKING COWARDS!!! beating on a woman, for dog shit..

    • This is a never ending story...Cops are allowed to operate by a different set of standards..This outrageous behavior shouldn't be tolerated in a civilized society..
