Dozens gathered to protest police brutality on Tuesday for the National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality.

“This is a club that we don’t want anyone else to join. We are not taking on new members,” Sammy Feliz said.

His brother, Allan Feliz, died after being shot and killed by an NYPD officer. The officer who shot Feliz’s brother was cleared of possible criminal charges by the state attorney general’s office.

However, the office was critical of the officer’s actions.

“I want to make sure this day does not go unnoticed, a day of protest, a day where we can speak our truths,” Feliz said.

A disciplinary trial is scheduled for the officer next month, nearly five years after the shooting.

After the event, several protesters went to the 73rd Precinct to demonstrate where multiple people were arrested.

NYPD data show excessive use of force for “on-duty” officers recorded by the department is at the highest it’s been since 2016. This includes physical force, shootings and use of pepper spray.

There were 58 incidents in 2023 and 73 in 2016, according to data.

The event has been held for nearly 30 years. Organizers said they plan to continue this work until they see change.
