Further details on conclusions.
On October 21, 2019, at approximately 11:30 P.M., PO Brian Ramirez, Sgt. Zul Chowdhury, and PO Justin Vazquez, all assigned to the 73rd Precinct, were patrolling the area of Lott Avenue and Powell Avenue in Brooklyn in an unmarked police vehicle. In front of [redacted] PO Ramirez observed a parked Ford Mustang with closed tinted windows and its engine running, in which [redacted] and [redacted] were sitting. PO Ramirez allegedly pulled up alongside the vehicle so that his driver's window aligned with [redacted]'s back passenger window, blocking [redacted]'s vehicle from driving away (Allegations A and B: Abuse of Authority, [redacted]). During the encounter, PO Ramirez allegedly stated, "We're over here looking for fucking robbers" (Allegation C: Discourtesy, [redacted]). After [redacted] asked PO Ramirez if he was being questioned because he was black, PO Ramirez allegedly responded, "Shut the fuck up. I didn't say anything about you being black. I didn't know you were fucking black before I stopped. Go get a real job," (Allegations D, E, and F: Discourtesy, [redacted]). [redacted] asked PO Ramirez for his shield number, and PO Ramirez allegedly responded, "I'm not giving you my fucking badge number," (Allegation G: Discourtesy, [redacted]; Allegation H: Abuse of Authority, [redacted]). [redacted] then told PO Ramirez that he wanted to speak with his supervisor, and PO Ramirez allegedly responded, "I'm not calling no fucking body," (Allegation I: Discourtesy, [redacted]).
Patrol Borough Brooklyn North conducted a separate investigation into this incident in which PO Ramirez was the subject officer and Sgt. Chowdhury and PO Vazquez were witness officers (01 Board Review). The Borough investigated the following allegations: racial profiling, a violation of other department rules by allegedly shining a flashlight in [redacted]'s eyes and telling him to get a job, and a failure to provide name or shield. All allegations were closed as unsubstantiated.
