area I am from cant afford a lawyer, so if they are treated unjustly they have to just take it. When I was around 13 or 14 years old, I decided to make a bad decision and spray paint under a bridge, when the police came I made the mistake of running. When I saw another police car I stopped where I was at and waited for them to approach me, they decided they would teach me a lesson by slamming face first to the ground and then put handcuffs on me as tight as they would go and then pick me up by them. I never resisted at all, I was scared shitless and waited for the car to stop right beside me, no resistance, only compliance. I guess they were pissed and knew as a kid I probably wouldn't get into trouble so they treated me the way they did for their own style of justice and I didn't understand because I never thought that an officer would attack me in this way as a young teenager.
When we went to the juvenile office a week later, the first thing out of their mouth was, wow are those cuts and bruises from handcuffs ( because the marks were still there a week later and still sore ) my mother offered to either have me pay for the damages or clean it personally and they said that we could leave, I had already received a punishment. The lady told my mother she would be also making a few phone calls because whoever the officer was that did it to me needed to be reprimanded. Now that was years ago and I was a child but we were broke as hell and if they would have done worse to me like they do to many others, I would have had no recourse.
Sometimes we need to realize that what happens in our lives isn't always the case for the rest of the country and we need to see things from different views. Its just like people who grow up with, like to think that poor people are there by there own fault or they are lazy, its not the case. You obviously haven't had something unjust like this happen to you and you are unable to see that these things actually happen when they shouldn't, I am happy that I can see that sometimes the world is allot different than what I have personally seen.
Either way, we can just disagree on this one because you have your view of the world and I have mine.
