Dad of man tased by cops thinks son should’ve complied during arrest

A man was tased by police while resisting arrest in Queens — and even his own father said that he should have done what the police were asking of him.

“I’m going to find out where you live and f–k up your kids,” Sean Marcellin, 24, allegedly told plainclothes cops who pulled him over in Far Rockaway on Thursday afternoon.

Marcellin, who works at nearby Enterprise car rental service, was waiting to pull into Empire Car Wash at 13-24 Beach Channel Drive when police pulled up behind him, bystander Jay Brown Sr., who recorded video of the interaction, told The Post.

“These cops behind me are gonna pull me over because I’m black,” Marcellin told Brown, who was waiting for his own car to be serviced.

Moments later, the three officers got out of their car and approached Marcellin’s white 2017 Chevy Camaro.

The man refused to hand over his driver’s license — and could only produce a learner’s permit — after they pulled him over for neglecting to use his turn signal, the criminal complaint states.

“Why the f— are you pulling me over?” Marcellin asked police, according to the court document.

He refused to cooperate and began making the threats, and they asked him to step out of the vehicle so they could arrest him, police said.

Brown insists Marcellin’s turn signal was on when police pulled him over.

“The first words out of the cop’s mouth … he was like, ‘Give me your f–king license now,’” Brown recalled. “That’s when the war of words began.”

Brown’s shocking video of the incident shows police surrounding Marcellin’s sedan and demanding that he get out of the car.

“Get out of the f–king car for me. We’re not doing this,” one of the cops can be heard saying as he opens the car door. Marcellin still did not get out of the car.

Moments later, the plainclothes officer is heard asking Marcellin, “That’s a threat? Is that a threat?”

Within minutes, a crowd formed around the Chevy as police struggled with Marcellin, who told the bystanders that he did have a license, but could not find it when police were asking for it.

“I asked for his license six times,” one of the cops can be heard telling Brown. “He’s been refusing since then … Keep recording as he’s threatening 16 cops.”

Several minutes after Marcellin was pulled over — and after several attempts to get the man to exit the car on his own — police are seen opening the door and pulling him out. He began flailing his arms to avoid being handcuffed, the complaint states, and police eventually tased him.

Cops then forced him to the ground, but he continued to wave his arms and twist his body, the document alleges.

“I didn’t do nothing!” he can be heard saying in the video.

Marcellin’s father said he was “very surprised” and “upset” about the incident — until he watched the video and saw that his son was giving the police a hard time.

“He should have just complied with the police. I always talk to him about this,” the 51-year-old dad told The Post, adding that in the past, he has instructed his son to “stay calm and just give them what they want.”

But Brown said the police officers were being aggressive with him from the start.

“They were looking for a fight,” Brown said. “They all were talking about punching each other in the face.”

Marcellin was charged with making terroristic threats, resisting arrest and obstructing government administration. He was ticketed for driving without a license and not using a turn signal.

He was released on his own recognizance and is expected back in court on Feb. 22.

Rochelle Berliner, one of Marcellin’s lawyers, said “he’s a good kid” who simply couldn’t find his wallet because he was nervous.

“When the cops stopped him, they didn’t come over to him nicely, they said, ‘Give me your f–king license,’ and pounded on his car,” she said. “Here’s a kid who’s just frustrated…he can’t be black in Far Rockaway without being stopped by police.”

Berliner said he was able to give police his valid driver’s license once he arrived at the precinct.

“He didn’t escalate it,” she said. “The police escalated this because they started it that way.”

She called Marcellin’s threats to hurt the officers’ kids “obviously not a real threat.”

“Someone screaming and yelling back and forth in the heat of the moment — to even consider taking that seriously is absurd.”
