I agree!

When you were told to fuck off why didn't you say something like "They're my mates you're kicking seven shades of shit out of!" and if you did say that, you didn't tell us.

After you were pushed and told to fuck off, you could have walked away and watched from another angle, as there was no way you could help your mate and so you didn't have to get angry after you knew he was an asshole and would arrest you.

Swallow your pride and just walk away next time, maybe you could stay back until it's over, and if your mate is gonna get done in, he's gonna get it. So maybe you can try and see if the pigs wanna talk after your mate is gone.

I certainly agree with that. It's very easy to say, "Fuck the police" but it's completely irrational. You need police, they're crucial for order to remain in place. Unfortunately, there's a few sour apples in every basket, as aforementioned by Raider, so I would take some sort of action but only against that particular officer (if possible, that is), don't just establish a hatred for police.


First, I'd recommend taking pictures or something so if you do end up taking this thing to court, you have pictures of your bruises and injuries. You don't want to show up saying you had bruises, you know?

Second, if possible, try to find out which officer actually did this and see what you can do from there-- there was no mention in your story of him reading you your Miranda Rights, so right off the bat there's a constitutional violation.

Third, understand that there's little you can do to right the police's wrong. You can sue this police department individually but that won't do anything to make sure these things won't happen. At best, become a cop and go out of your way to be merciful and leniant when the conditions apply (like pot possession :D ) but something to consider-- only SOME cops deserve Chinese torture.

(Of course, these are things you'll only be able to put into perspective once you've blown off some steam. There's no way such an event can happen without feeling raped of your rights-- so, breathe, spark a fat ass bowl, and whatever you do, don't go supporting stupid things like anarchy, as somebody suggested earlier.)

Sometimes in situations Pride is too hard to swallow. I admire Ghost for what he did... a lot of people wouldn't have the balls to stand up to a pig like that. I think when it's one of your own friends... it hits home and one may no longer care what trouble they could get into, as long as they make a stance towards the piece of shit cops beating up their friends. I don't know what i would have done in that situation... it's a tough one to call. I did have a friend who was arrested for no reason, told to get out of the car, which he did obediantly, before they grabbed him, threw him down against the pavement (his head hit first, he had a big welt, which they reported over the CB radio or whatever its called, saying he was resisting arrest.) They towed his car, which was a BLOCK away from his girlfriends and 3 miles away from his parents, they wouldn't let him call one of them to come get the car... and then they threw him in jail for two and a half days. He didn't get any tickets, got the shit beaten out of him, and a five hundred dollar towing and holding fine at the local impound lot. After he had been in jail a day, the took him to a correctional institution and tried to shoot him up with a bunch of drugs.... He never did anything illegal, didn't even resist arrest.. but the cops in this town hate him and had it out for him. Should I had been riding in the car with him at that point... I can garauntee I would have defended him and ended up right behind bars with him... I fuckin hate cops..... Point is though... I would have taken my pride and gone to jail in that situation , then let them abuse my friend for no reason in front of my eyes... I agree with what ghost did 100 percent.

yea keep us all posted we really want to know!! someone needs to stop these bitch ass cops and you can help them! or even that person could be you.

you probaly did the best thing you could in that situation. Like BMAN719 i would have been bitching ever since i saw what was happening. it's not that i have a big mouth it's just if i see something wrong i will do everything i can to stop it.

i know i wouldnt have handled it they way you did and i give you mad props for that dude.

Man, Ghost for once im lost for words! I hate all these people in authority abusing our trust and their positions. :mad: And they wonder why so many hate the Police, it's for reasons just like Ghost has pointed out!

that's REALLY fucked up shit man. sorry to hear about your misfortune. i know where you're coming from though. i got pulled over, harrassed, and physically 'handled' by the police once. it's a total fucking joke the way cops abuse their authority. FUCK AUTHORITY. anyhow, i hope that you will be able to do something about this.

Man, that sucks so bad! I live in a 'small' town where the cops are the most useless twits in the county, possibly the state. I've witnessed a lot of shit over the years and the last chief was arrested for embezzleing money from the burough. Heroin use is outrageous in this town yet no arrests for it , only marijuana. I have seen the way they trash houses when they think they have a 'big' bust. 3 z's and they think they're SWAT or something. Try to stand up for yourself and you will be violently shoved into the back of a squad car. Most people around here believe the heroin dealers have the entire dept, in their pocket. I know I am supposed to be mature enough to maintain my composure around the 'authorities, but I have an extremely hard time keeping my mouth shut around the assholes they have here. The abuse of their authority is so blatant and outrageous and no one seems to be able to do a damn thing about it. Several years back there was a business man n the area who was insensed by the heroin epidemic in our town and he was organizing the people who wanted to see some changes in the situation. He had a sign on his lot that read, Welcome to Ephrata, home of horseshit and heroin. The man was run out of town by the Authorities. We live in an area full of Amish people and they still use horse and buggies for transportation, for real! Thats where the horseshit comes from, just some backgreound FIY. There is a large population of Mennonites, a less strict sect of Amish and they rule around here. We call it the Mennonite Mafia. They control large amounts of cash in the community through suffocating the area with their businesses. They run the townships, and boroughs throughout the county and so impose their will on the entire area. This trickles down right to the cop shop and the corruption and abuses committed throughout.
I know there are innumerable towns across the country with the same shit, but it feels good to vent about the pricks. Good for you for standing up for you and your friend, unfortunately, they love to try to use 'insubbordination to a police officer' and get away with it too often. I hope it all works out for you.

Woah, that's alot of replies.. Every reply I read I think of something to reply with, but there are way too many and I got confused. :( Lol

Thanks for your kind words, dudes.. Somebody (soryr, i've forgotten) hit the nail on the head when they said I got off easy; there were a ton of irate cops around and even more back at the station - for whatever reason every officer I saw looked as angry as the last - and they could have done anything to me... So a few bumps and bruises is something to be thankful for, I think..

What's angered me the most, though, is the way police blatantly abuse their power every single day, all over the world. They're like bouncers; alot of bopuncers at clibs are extremely strict - if they see someone and don't like their attitude or even the way they look they can kick them out of the club, or not even let them inside in the first place. Well alot of police are like that - if you have a bad attitude or don't treat them with the upmost respect that they think they deserve, or sometimes even if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, then they'll find some way to kick you out of their club.

Whether we believe it or not, police have alot of power. In some places even a misdemeanor or a small petty charge can ruin somebodies career and inevitably their life. Law enforcement officers know this and use it to keep us silent. If I had the opportunity to consult another police officer about what happened to me on Friday, i'm sure he or she would have said something like "well, you should have just kept your mouth shut/walked away". But, in my opniion, police officers take walking away as aquiesance, and if I don't agree i'm not going to act like I do! Lol

I guess i'll see what happens in court tomorrow. I'm shitting myself, not because myself or anyone around me thinks i'm guilty, but because it doesn't matter what myself or anyone around me thinks. Judges, for the most part, are just as bad as cops. They uphold the law, but they make their own rules.

I'll keep you guys updated (which means i'll post after court tomorrow.. Lol)! Thanks again for your support.. Man, I love you guys! :D

*hugs Ousted*

good luck in court, I don't like cops, I'm sure there are some deceant ones but most of them I don't trust.
