Further details on conclusions.

Sgt. Vincenzo Spinola, PO Michael Carbone, PO Christopher Hansen, and PO Joseph Walsh in an unmarked vehicle subsequently stopped [redacted] vehicle (Allegations A, B, C, and D). PO John Smyth and PO Eric Salisbury arrived on the scene after [redacted]'s vehicle was stopped. PO Walsh approached the front passenger seat of the vehicle where [redacted] was sitting, and allegedly pushed his chest into the car seat and used various profanities when speak with [redacted] (Allegation E and F). PO Walsh subsequently pulled [redacted] out of the vehicle by his jacket (subsumed within Allegation E). [redacted] alleged that after he exited the vehicle PO Smyth removed the phone from his hand and threw it to the ground (Allegation G). PO Smyth and PO Walsh subsequently grabbed [redacted]'s arms, spun him around, and threw him to the ground (Allegation H and I). PO Smyth frisked and searched [redacted] while he was on the ground (Allegation J and K). [redacted] complained that his leg was bleeding and PO Walsh responded by using the word "fuck" several times (Allegation L). Sgt. Spinola, PO Walsh, and an unidentified officer subsequently searched [redacted]'s vehicle (Allegation M, N, and O). The officers returned to their vehicle and none of the civilians were arrested or issued any summonses during this incident.
After the incident, [redacted] went to the 52nd Precinct stationhouse in attempt to file a complaint and was informed by PO Kristy Abbasciano that they did not do that and directed him towards a poster (Allegation P).
[redacted] provided two video recordings which were irrelevant to this investigation; one recording captured the officers' vehicle driving off and the other recording did not depict the incidents.
