Cicero’s beating of Jonathan Baez was caught on video and outraged then-Commissioner Ray Kelly. The chaotic sequence of events began when two undercover narcotics officers were hit by bullet fragments fired by a colleague being attacked by a pit bull. A swarm of officers descended on the scene and handcuffed four men, including Baez. Cicero was caught on camera repeatedly slamming Baez’s head into the ground. Drug charges against Baez were later dropped.
