Further details on conclusions.
In his CCRB interview statement, [redacted] said that on January 12, 1999, he and his son [redacted] went to pick up his other son, [redacted] and his nephew [redacted] at [redacted]. As he pulled up, he saw four men, whom he later learned to be officers, stop [redacted] and place them against the small wall in front of the house (encl. 44a). He asked them what they were doing; Officer Ebanks (as identified from a photo array on June 15, 1999) said, "Shut the fuck up" and "Mind your fucking business."
