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.
'Unfounded': Evidence suggests that the event or alleged conduct did not occur.
'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.
'Within NYPD Guidelines': The alleged conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

Amended Complaint
Description: Plaintiff is a man of trans experience and was the victim of numerous hate crimes, chosen as a victim because of his gender identity. When the New York City Police Department was called to the scene of the first attack on Plaintiff's family by the assailant the responding officers witnessed Assailant's criminal behavior. The NYPD's officers refused to restrain or arrest Assailant and refused to take Plaintiff's criminal complaint against Assailant. To the contrary, the NYPD's officers joked with Assailant and indicated to witnesses, within earshot of Plaintiff and Assailant, that they preferred to return to clean up the mess after Assailant had murdered Plaintiff.
