May 2003
If you only knew what happened to me this May 15, 2003.The excessive use of force on me, a woman, half the size of the man who had initially beaten me, after calling 911 for help.
I was following the officer's order to return to the sidewalk area, as I turned around to comply, he grabbed me by behind, and next thing I knew, I had two LAPD squawkers on my back, face down in the dirt, while keeping knees in my back, and twisting my already cuffed hand to the point of me hearing it crack... and that's just the beginning.
I was the victim of domestic violence, and they arrested ME!! because -- heaven forbid -- I told an officer to get off my back as he was inflicting great pain...
and that's not even the tip of the iceberg...
I hear you Edward...
