Ok but is survival the reward of a police encounter these days?Now ya see? It was his cooperation that kept him from getting killed. What a concept!
The rest of the story I can see as true or exaggerated. Just from reading your posts, I'm going to believe you. I will NOT make excuses for that cop that roughed you up at all. I hate those types. Just ask a few on here.
Is that how damn dismal the world should be? Mine is not the only story like that. Look at the active duty army guy that was just sprayed in the face with pepper spray, and recently found that there was no wrong doing on the cops behalf.
They wanted to murder that man! And by default it is most often a non white person that catches the wrath.
