Further details on conclusions.
This complaint stems from the anti-war rally that took place on February 15th, 2003 at the United Nations headquarters, which received extensive press coverage. As such, the case was determined to be sensitive and placed on the sensitive case list.
In essence, at approximately that time at that location, chaos erupted amongst several hundred protesters attempting to move beyond a metal barricade established on the eastern side of the intersection and numerous arrests were made. [redacted] alleged that prior to the disturbance, PO Paul Harloff, whom he identified in a photographic array, spoke obscenely towards him by saying, "fuck you." The officer denied this and there was no other civilian or witness statement to corroborate [redacted] claim. [redacted] and [redacted] alleged that an unidentified White male police officer punched an unidentified male protester while at the barricade immediately prior to the chaos. [redacted] indicated that the victim was depicted in a photograph taken by [redacted].
