As it started raining heavily, a large number of protesters began quickly walking south down Cadman Plaza West. Officers walked in the same direction as the crowd and pushed unidentified protesters forward from behind (Allegation A: Force, [redacted]). [redacted] turned around and began walking backwards in front of his bicycle as to avoid blocking the protesters' paths because it was a dense crowd moving quickly. At the east side of the intersection of Cadman Plaza West and Montague Street, an unidentified officer, PO1, allegedly \"poked\" [redacted] with a baton twice in the shoulder forcefully while ordering him to move (Allegation B: Force, [redacted]). An officer, possibly PO1, also allegedly hit [redacted]'s bicycle, which was not damaged, once with his baton (Allegation C: Discourtesy, [redacted]). PO1 allegedly placed one hand on [redacted]'s shoulder and shoved him in the direction he was walking (Allegation D: Force, [redacted]). Additional unidentified officers allegedly pushed several unidentified protesters (within Allegation A). [redacted] was not summonsed or arrested.\n\nThe investigation determined that Police Officer Melvin Welch of the 83rd Precinct made a misleading official statement to the CCRB (Allegation E: Untruthful Statement, [redacted]).","witness_officers":[{"last_name":"Maddrey","first_name":"Jeffrey","officer_id":"59JG"},{"last_name":"Ramlogan","first_name":"Rekash","officer_id":"6ZR9"},{"last_name":"Sheppard","first_name":"Tarik","officer_id":"6PYF"}],"id":202003873,"url":"https://www.50-a.org/complaint/202003873"}
