Summary

When interviewed at the CCRB, [redacted] stated that on November 27, 2006, at approximately 10:30 PM, he went to the 75th Precinct stationhouse to file a complaint against [redacted], the tenant in apartment [redacted] in Brooklyn, [redacted]. The complaint was in regards to an incident that occurred on November 24, 2006, when [redacted] broke banisters in the apartment building and threatened [redacted] with a knife. Officers were supposed to contact [redacted] regarding the incident but had not done so by November 27, 2006, which prompted [redacted] to go to the 75th Precinct stationhouse in order to make the complaint.

Fischer, but he later stated during the interview that it was a young white male officer said that.

During the March 22, 2007 photo array, [redacted] said that PO Munoz told him to "watch [his] fucking mouth" and that PO Caputo told him, "Get the fuck out of here, you Jewish fucking slumlord."
