Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto says the decision to pay $47,000 to settle a lawsuit over the injury of a man by plainclothes police officer outside PPG Paints Arena is not an acknowledgement of any wrongdoing and that the city still intends to release the results of its own investigation of the incident."So the $47,000 amount seemed like a reasonable amount to avoid going to court and what could have potentially been a higher amount," Peduto told Pittsburgh's Action News 4.Cellphone video of the 2017 shows Daniel Adelman being repeatedly hit by plainclothes police and his head being slammed against the pavement. He didn't know they were officers making an arrest and thought he was intervening to break up a fight when officers began using force on him. The video went viral in the Pittsburgh area. Charges police filed against Adelmen were eventually withdrawn by the Allegheny County District Attorney's office. Adelman later filed suit against four officers and the city.Peduto said the payment, which must still be approved by City Council, is not an admission the city or the officers were in the wrong."No, no. And, in fact, they have been cleared. That was a separate investigation," Peduto said.Three of the officers still work for the city. One has taken a job in the suburbs.The mayor's office confirmed that officers Todd Modena, Brian Markus, and Robert Palivoda are still Pittsburgh police. Andrew Jacobs, who left city employment in December 2018 to join Bethel Park police was placed on desk duty in 2017 while the city reviewed the incident. The Allegheny County DA's office, the FBI's Pittsburgh office, and U.S. Attorney for Western Pennsylvania's office all refused comment on the results of their review of the officers. The city has yet to release its review, as Police Chief Scott Schubert promised to do more than two years ago."At the end of our process, we intend to publicly share the results," Schubert said in a news release on Sept. 20, 2017, which said both the Office of Municipal Investigations and the Office of Professional Standards were looking into the incident.When Pittsburgh Action News 4 requested the findings Thursday, Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesman Chris Togneri responded by email, "Chief Schubert intends to release the finding. When that happens will depend on many factors, including the conclusion of all related legal cases, a review by the legal department, and other issues."Togneri did not respond to requests to identify what other specific issues and legal cases were still remaining more than two years after the incident.Peduto told Pittsburgh's Action News 4, "that analysis will come from the public safety director who has the final review before making a recommendation to me, and I'll talk to him about releasing it this week."The mayor noted, "There was not fault found in order to constitute additional investigation or turning it into a criminal case."Pittsburgh Citizen Police Review Board executive director Elizabeth Pittiinger believes the city should release the results of its investigations of the case."Sure they should. Because the public has a right to know how their public servants conduct their jobs, whether there's an element of criminal culpability involved in it."Allegheny County DA's office spokesman Mike Manko said in 2017 that office was reviewing the case but emailed Pittsburgh's Action News 4 this week, "We deferred to the (federal authorities) on that."The FBI Pittsburgh's spokeswoman, Catherine Varnum Policicchio, responded by email, "From time to time, the FBI gets asked to conduct these reviews. All other questions related to this matter should be directed to the USAO (U.S. Attorney's Office.)"The US Attorney's Office is declining to comment, responded spokeswoman Margaret Philbin by email.The Civilian Police Review Board suspended its review while the DA and U.S. attorney looked into the case. Pittinger says the CPRB was obliged by law to do so. She said the city's settlement with Adelmen likely includes a confidentiality agreement which could keep him and the city from testifying to the review board. But she said there are still issues the board may look at in the case."The public side of it, which is the question of how officers are being trained and how they're using force and how those individual officers are held accountable," Pittinger said.Asked if he stands by the actions of the officer, Peduto responded, "I stand by the report of the actions of the officers, saying that the use of force was warranted under the situation."Adelman's attorney says his client doesn't want to talk about the case."It's a stressful situation that is now hopefully going to be alleviated, where Mr. Adelman and his family are looking forward to fading back away from the public eye," Adelman's attorney, Steve Barth, told Pittsburgh's Action News 4. "Generally, I think transparency is important. And I think for a city and city police force, transparency is only going to help in community relations and is only going to help in situations like this."Pittinger said she believes Pittsburgh's police chief was concerned about the incident."I know that he was. And he wanted to understand it, he wanted it investigated, and he wanted to understand what happened," Pittinger said. "To the extent that he is permitted to speak about it publicly, I believe he should and I believe he would if he's given the opportunity. He may not be permitted to because, as you know, the city has in their working agreement with the FOP (police union), they cannot discuss personnel matters. So that may be a restriction on him. But yeah, I think he should." Asked for his message to the public in the wake of concerns raised by the video of the incident, Peduto said, "That if an officer is in the process of arresting somebody, you shouldn't take it upon yourself to presume you're an officer and engage with it. Circumstances like this could happen when you do so."
