He Defended the NYPD in Court. Then They Arrested Him.
---
Officer Shapiro claimed in criminal filings that Ashanti -- senior litigator in a unit that defends NYPD officers in lawsuits -- resisted arrest & shoved him twice, so forcefully that Shapiro had to step back to catch his balance.

The NY Post splashed the allegations in its pages, calling Ashanti a “livid lawyer.” It wasn’t true. Security-camera footage showed no shoving during the incident.
