Further details on conclusions.
On February 12, 2015, at approximately 11:00 p.m., [redacted] parked at the corner of Beach 44th Street and Beach Channel Drive in Queens to go to a corner store. Before exiting his vehicle, he was stopped by two officers identified via the investigation as PO Michael McCarthy and Lt Brian Caltabiano of the 101st Precinct for excessive tints. After learning that [redacted] was driving with a restricted license, PO McCarthy issued [redacted] a summons for [redacted]. As the officers returned to their RMP, PO McCarthy blew [redacted] a kiss (Allegation A).
[redacted] felt mistreated and did not understand why he was issued a summons for a [redacted] when he had been told he was pulled over for illegal tints. He proceeded to the 101st Precinct Stationhouse to address these concerns, and arrived there at approximately 11:30 p.m. While [redacted] was speaking with an officer at the stationhouse, PO McCarthy entered the stationhouse and approached [redacted]. PO McCarthy told [redacted] "Pussy, why don't you just take it up in court. I should punch you right in your face," (Allegations B and C). PO1 then grabbed [redacted] by his waist and swung him around through one of the two entrance doors (Allegation D). [redacted] dropped his summons and license and asked PO1 if he could pick the documents up. PO1 responded, "No. Get the fuck out of here," (Allegation E). He then pushed [redacted] through the second set of doors and kicked his license and summons through the doorway (Allegation F). [redacted] summons blew away in the wind. A referral was made to the Chief of Department in regards to the summons dispute.
