Further details on conclusions.
On April 29, 2014, at approximately 10:15 p.m., [redacted] and [redacted] were in [redacted]'s car on Garrison Avenue near Livermore Avenue in Staten Island when an unmarked white sedan stopped next to them. PO Ricky Alexander (the passenger) and PO Vincent Agostino (the driver) exited their vehicle and allegedly ordered them to "get the fuck out of the car." (Allegations A, B, C, and D) [redacted] and [redacted] did not realize they were officers and thought they were being robbed, so [redacted] drove away. After driving for one block, the unmarked vehicle pulled [redacted] over, at which point [redacted] and [redacted] realized they were officers. [redacted] pulled over the officers accused them of doing drugs, which they denied. PO Alexander allegedly said he had a right to break [redacted]'s window (Allegation E) because he did not seem startled and that he had permission to shoot at them (Allegation F) because they were engaged in a "high speed chase." PO Alexander also allegedly said that if something went wrong, [redacted]'s and [redacted]'s christening photos would have appeared in the Staten Island Advance in an article about "two asshole cops" that shot "two innocent angels."(Allegation F cont'd). [redacted] and [redacted] alleged that over the course of the encounter, PO Alexander said, "Get out of the car. Why are you so fucking stupid? You're revving the fucking engine," "Shut the fuck up, you can't speak," "Don't lie, you fucking idiot, you saw my badge," "Shut the fuck up," and, "Fucking stupid." (Allegation C cont'd) The officers left the scene without requesting their identification or issuing any summonses. Read report for details.
