Conclusion Meanings:

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

McCaffrey had not heard any order to disperse or other announcement from the officers. Officers held McCaffrey's hands behind his back, shoved him on the ground, put him in a headlock, punched him, slammed his head into the ground repeatedly, and put a knee on his back. McCaffrey did not resist or respond with force. Other officers observed the assault and failed to intervene. The officers then handcuffed and detained him without probable cause. McCaffrey was released with a summons for disorderly conduct, which was dismissed.
