Have you ever been a victim of police misconduct?

12. I got beat up horrendously by white cops, (I'm white).

I mouthed off a little too much and they got into a football huddle, then suddenly attacked me with fists, boots and clubs. I went to jail and was beaten further on the way and in the elevator. I was placed in a punishment cell. I had huge knots on my head where they took their billy clubs to me, and two shiners and a broken nose.

Later, that night, I flooded the jail causing 6.2 million $$ worth the damage, in retaliation for the beating. They held me for months trying to get me to plead guilty to anything.

Finally, when I got to court, the judge asked me if I was tortured or beaten. I was bloody black and blue. I asked him, "What good would it do to complain,"? He just chuckled and started asking me mundane questions about my personal life. But I was finally released that day, no doubt, IMO, because I did NOT complain about the beating.
