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.
'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'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.

Amended Complaint
Description: Ortiz was in his apt sleeping when the defendants loudly knocked on and kicked in door; defendants shouted for him to "get on the fucking floor" and took them into custody without lawful basis; took the plaintiffs to the 9th pct, while the other defendants rampaged through the plaintiff's apt (did not find any drugs etc).
