Further details on conclusions.
On October 15, 2019, at approximately 8:15 p.m., on New Lotts Avenue between Essex Street and Linwood Street in Brooklyn, Mr. [redacted] was walking on the sidewalk when he observed PO Kevin Morgan and PO John Plumitallo of the 75th Precinct in an unmarked black Chevrolet Impala. (PO Morgan has since been transferred to the 75th Precinct detective squad). Mr. [redacted] recognized that these were police officers because he had seen plainclothes officers driving around the neighborhood in this type of vehicle before. Mr. [redacted] crossed the crosswalk in front of PO Morgan and PO Plumitallo, turned around and looked at them, and continued walking. PO Morgan and PO Plumitallo exited the vehicle and stopped Mr. [redacted] (Allegation A and B: Abuse of Authority – Stop, unsubstantiated). PO Plumitallo frisked Mr. [redacted] (Allegation C: Abuse of Authority – Frisk, unsubstantiated) and allegedly searched his pocket (Allegation D: Abuse of Authority - Search (of person), unsubstantiated). The officers informed Mr. [redacted] that they had to make sure he did not have a gun on him because his wallet had created a bulge.
Mr. [redacted] continued to discuss the stop with the officers during which PO Morgan told Mr. [redacted] that he needed to educate himself and called him "stupid, uneducated, ignorant, and dumb," (Allegation E: Discourtesy – Word, substantiated). At the end of the incident, PO Morgan and PO Plumitallo failed to provide Mr. [redacted] with a business card (Allegation F and G: Abuse of Authority – Failure to provide RTKA card, substantiated).
PO Plumitallo did not make a memo book entry in regard to this incident (Allegation H: Other misconduct – Failure to prepare a memo book entry). Neither PO Morgan nor PO Plumitallo filled out a stop report (Allegation I and J: Other misconduct – Failure to produce a stop and frisk report). Both PO Morgan and PO Plumitallo prematurely disengaged their body-worn cameras (Allegation K and L: Other misconduct – Improper use of body-worn camera).
