Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - the alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.
'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - CCRB has fully investigated but could not affirmatively conclude both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Case # 15CV06268, U.S. District Court - Eastern District NY, November 2, 2015, ended October 5, 2016
Zero Disposition
Complaint
Description: Plaintiff was walking down the street, when he was approached by an unmarked car and told to stop. As he didn't know who was in the car, he ignored the command and proceeded to walk. The cops pulled up in front of him and got out asking him to tell them what he threw out. He told them he didn't throw away anything. He was put in the back of the car as the cops canvas the area. Officers claim they found a gun the plaintiff threw, however the plaintiff saw that where they found it was ahead of where he was stopped therefore he couldn't have been the one who threw the gun away.
