Further details on conclusions.
On February 23, 2014, at White Plains Road and Pelham Parkway in the Bronx, PO Vladimir Delgado, PO Daisy Rivera, PO Joseph Gartner, and PO Olivia Dengler, of the 49th Precinct, arrested [redacted] after he became irate when he was stopped and asked to show his bus ticket. The officers pushed him to the ground and handcuffed him (Allegations A, B, C, and D). [redacted] and other individuals video recorded the arrest of [redacted]. PO Gartner approached [redacted] and asked him for identification. PO Gartner arrested [redacted] for video recording the original arrest (Allegation E). After [redacted] was handcuffed, he became combative with the officers. PO Gartner, PO Dengler, and PO Lawrence Wang of the 49th Precinct took [redacted] to the ground (Allegations C, D, and F). While on the ground, PO Wang told [redacted] to "calm the fuck down" and once [redacted] was in the police car, PO Wang told him to "move the fuck over" (Allegation G). There are two videos of the arrest of [redacted] and one video, taken by [redacted] of the arrest of [redacted] (encl. 30A-B; 40; 41). PO Dengler provided a false official statement in regards to [redacted] action during and after the arrest of [redacted] and is cited for other misconduct (Allegation I).
