Summary

On October 23, 2014, at approximately 5:30 p.m., [redacted] (encl. 23-29) was inside of Harold Hunter Skatepark located under the Manhattan Bridge. [redacted] observed PO Calvin Searcy and PO Allen Moore, both assigned to the 5th Precinct, enter the park and approach one young male who he identified as [redacted] (Allegation A and B). [redacted] then ran out of the park and away from PO Searcy and PO Moore. The officers did not pursue him and instead approached a second male, who [redacted] identified as [redacted] (Allegation A and B).

[redacted] turned to [redacted] and told him to be quiet because PO Searcy was going to "play the bully card." PO Searcy then told [redacted] to shut up and [redacted] told PO Searcy that he was a grown man and did not need to shut up and went on to state, "You can't pull that shit with me. I'm not talking to you. I know my rights." PO Searcy responded to [redacted] stating, "Oh you're a grown man. Tough guy," and also told [redacted] who was holding his skateboard at his side, "Why don't you put your skateboard down and... Read report for details.
