Further details on conclusions.
On October 31, 2014, at approximately 10:15 p.m., [redacted] jaywalked across the intersection of Beach 37th Street and Beach Channel Drive in Queens with his hands in his pockets.

The officers asked [redacted] to stop and remove his hands from his pockets multiple times, but he refused. PO Foss drew his firearm, but did not point it at [redacted] (Allegation A). The officers then put [redacted] up against a fence and frisked and searched him.

[redacted] was taken into custody and removed to the 101st Precinct stationhouse. He was ultimately released with a [redacted] summons (encl. 13A). Read report for details.
