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.

Complaint
Description: On September 24, 2012, while plaintiff was standing in front of a building, defendants approached plaintiff, punched her in the face, struck her in the back and body, slammed her head into the ground, and handcuffed her. Defendants then transported plaintiff to the 44th precinct. At the precinct, plaintiff asked defendant Roth why she had been arrested. In response, defendant Roth maliciously tightened plaintiff's handcuffs. Plaintiff was subsequently transported to a hospital and released. Defendants fabricated charges against plaintiff to justify her arrest. All charges brought against her were ultimately dismissed.
