So unbelievably pissed off....

[seedbare]

it all depends upon your vantage point brother. I would say even looking objectively that the great majority are exactly as described. if your in a comfortable suburb that rarely has any police contact your going to automatically assume there all good.

[dirty raider]

I see then all too frequently by me but I can't say I've ever had an unpleasent dealings with them. They are sometimes a little too heavy handed but in the main they react with a sutible amount of force, given some of the shit that I've some of them they do well not to lash out regularly. Thats not too say that they're all saintly you here storys of the odd police brutality but its rare.

i say u have weed gnomes attack police station and plant bombs

thats what i would do

Well if you can't sue, you could always go looking for the cop that did that, then you could slash his tires, cum in his coffee, Lick all the sticky shit off his stamps and fuck his gf... God willing.

those stupid pig bitches, i hate cops! they all are crooked! this one cop said that my mom and sis and some seed and stems in the car and he smelled reefer, so he took my mom to the police station and charged her for 4 differnet things!! and the messed up thing is that they werent smoking and hednt been all day! they had no money so therfore no reefer!

my mom had to pay a $1000 fine and had to do community work for absolutley no reason! cops can do what they want to who they want and get away with it. thats why i say, ANARCHY!!! dude, f*ck these pigs and this government, they dont give a shit about us just our money, so we should fight them and get what we deserve back!


i hate cops with a passion, if only i could get one somewhere where nonone could see us, ha i dont even want to say what i would want to do. they have taken so many of my friends away from me for no reason. they were innocent and they are still sitting in jail to this day. i government is fucked up and i hate them

Ghost, you can do something far better than sue them, go to the media. contact a local news station (or the closest equivilant) and tell them you're story, all the incredibly unprofessional conduct of these cops. news stations love to jump all over cop misconduct, call some attention to these fuckers! I know you may not want to put in all the effort, but it's more than worth it, you can't let such tyrany-based activity go on unpunished and unnoticed.

[Ousted]

Ghost, I am so so sorry that something so awful had to happen to you, I could not even begin to imagine what you are going through, but I can guess you have been replaying the entire event in your brain more times than you would want to. Being wronged is almost crippling to a person, and of all people in this world, you did not deserve to be wronged by anybody, Ghost.

All I can say is in time the anger and frustration of being treated so unfairly will eventually subside, and this will be a story you will find humorous than one that makes your blood boil when thinking about it like Im sure is the case for you right now. It sure would be for me.

I had a confrontation with a cop several months ago, I was driving home and it was late and I hit a major traffic jam on the highway to my house. When I finally crawled up to less than a block away from the turn to my neighborhood I couldnt see the intersection I needed to turn at cuz the cars were so backed up but when I finally got up to the left-turn lane (still unable to see intersection because the lane starts really far back) I got in and at that point saw that the intersection and the turn to my neighborhood was closed off. Complete mistake on my part, however the lane was not blocked off, there was no sign or warning not to get into the lane to my knowledge. I know I didnt hit any cones or remove any tape. Well anyway, the cop directing the traffic at the intersection stormed over to me burning mad, yelled at me, told me how inconsiderate I was of the other drivers for trying to turn at this closed off intersection while they are sitting in traffic, and with such hostility was like "what were you thinking??? did you really think you'd be able to turn here, HUH???" I so badly wanted to defend myself because it absolutely wasn't my intention to try and pull a fast one in this traffic jam like he was making it out to be, I just honestly didnt know that it was closed off, and there was no warning. With everything in me I said simply "Im sorry officer, what should I do now?" He rolled his eyes and said "you can sit there until I wave you through, but expect to wait a while." Then he stormed off to his buddies while pointing to me and huffing and puffing over what a stupefying idiot I am.
After about 10 minutes of my watching him blow his whistle at other cars and yell and have attitudes with them (though not quite like what he had done to me) he waved me through, and as I slowly drove by him he yelled "next time I'll give you ticket for pulling that kind of stunt!!!" At that point I so wanted to put this asshole and his rediculous ego/power trip in his fucking place...but I bit my tongue...HARD. It made me so angry because he was treating me as though I had some ill intention, and that he so eagerly assumed the worst about me. I didnt understand what exactly he was trying to accomplish talking to me the way he was since there was nothing I could do to change it.
I knew I shouldn't argue with him or defend myself or attempt to explain because he was intoxicated off the fumes of his ego. My trying to do any of those things, which would be a reasonable reaction by any normal persons standards, would have given him reason to do to me what he really would have liked to have done. If I could give him more reason to be irate, he would have taken me up on it, and punished me because he could, and I asked for it in his eyes.

It hurt my pride to just take it, sure. It really hurt my pride. But I had to look at the end result, and I knew I wanted to go home that night after all that time sitting in traffic. Arguing with an emotionally unstable police officer over something that couldn't be changed would probably not have the end result I wanted. I took comfort in that, even though I was wronged, I had to size up my opponent before a potential match, and I feel as though I made a smart move letting him have his little trip on me, as humiliating as it was for me to do so. I would never have won or been able to right the wrong.

With your situation you really did do nothing wrong and an officer of the law told an innocent civilian onlooker to fuck off. Your reaction to his audacity is completely, 100% understandable. I dont want to say you should be proud, but you should consider yourself fortunate (for the most part) that you got a first-hand insight into the true colors of some policemen and what they are capable of when they have a little power. An experience like yours will make you all the more empathetic to stories similar, you will always be able to relate your story to others, and never will you be blase on the subject of law enforcement and their power over the people. Not that you were before, but now you most likely never ever will. Like the old saying goes, "what doesnt kill us..."

Anyway, again, so sorry, Ghost. Keep your mind occupied and take care of yourself so this unfortunate experience doesn't consume you more than it already may be. *hugs*

god this shit pisses me off so much..
fucking police have no right to do that shit
fucking government...
ANGST! RANT!

[heavymetal101]

yea, i forgot to tell you i was sorry about what happened. that really sucks. and i agree with mrdevios bring that shit up to the news!! it would totally be worth it.

[Bman719]

Wow... this was one of the most interesting threads (and stories for the matter) I think I've ever read. Ghost - That shit is fucked up man. At this point I wouldn't really care if I won in court, I'd sue the living shit out of the police department who's officers did that to you. I'd bring in the media... I'd bring in eyewitnesses, I would make it get MESSY. Fuck man... if I were in your shoes, I'd not only be pissed to bloody hell, I'd be making sure someone pays. Read what you said about the judges... and while that sucks... I'd ignore it anyway and sue them so you can tell your side of the story. If you get the story publicized in the media then the judge will make the right decision for once for a fear of looking bad to the public.

I really don't know what I would have done in that situation Ghost... and I admire what you did. I have a big mouth on me, so i probably would have defended myself and my friend to the cop. If I was really irritated, I'd probably tell him where he could jam his night stick. That really is completely fucked up man. I've had a good 7 or 8 confrontations with cops, and somehow have managed to stay out of getting a ticket (Though I'm incredibly surprised I didn't get a disorderly conduct ticket for pulling some shit when I went to the highschool in town.... they just talked to me and yelled at me for awhile).

I hope you get some justice Ghost.... it's a fucked up world out there... I would take pictures of all your bruises, cuts, and injuries right away TODAY... proof like that can fade over time. Keep me posted on what's up man... and I hope your day gets a bit better.
