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.
'Substantiated': The alleged conduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'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.

Complaint
Description: On April 7th, 2017, Plaintiff Jason Blackman was at a funeral home attending a funeral. Defendant Officers, executing a search warrant, approached and did not allow Plaintiff to leave. Defendant Officers then struck Plaintiff in the hand and body with a stick-like object, placing him in excessively tight handcuffs and falsely arresting him. Plaintiff complained that the handcuffs were too tight and needed to be loosened, but the Defendant Officers ignored his request. Plaintiff was eventually brought to central booking and charged with a criminal complaint. Plaintiff was arraigned after approximately 24 hours. All charges were later dropped in 2017.
