Don't you think maybe you are being a little dramatic about this whole thing?

Just depends on which side you look at it from.

I think it has handled poorly, but they did what they are allowed to do. He sounded a bit cocky, but I'm thinking it was more of a safety for them.

Since you don't know what they were there for in the first place, you will never be able to know exactly what was going on.

I've been poorly treated in the past myself. I was speeding and the cop had his holster unclipped and his hand on the gun. I am a decently sized guy, but by no means look intimidating, i wondered about it after too. Figured he had been spooked by something or he had just had past experience.

I'd let it go.

oh and did you ever ask the girls in the house why the cops were there? Somebody has to know. what happened while you were there? Lot of details left out of this story.

I have a hard time trusting the girl right now; but she's now saying (long after I left of course), the police were there for an emergency complaint that was supposed to be for the appartment below her. I have a really strange feeling that she had called the police on me before I got there, and told them I was going to steal or be some kind of problem there, just because the police arrived about 2 minutes after I got there... I don't know... I have weird feelings about this girl, very hard to trust...

The girl who rents the floor below hers has had the police show up there several times because her boyfriend has assaulted her and several domestic complaints, and I've seen the police come for that girl's boyfriend before; but still it just doesn't all fit together for me and police were no help when I asked them anything.

I can for now, only assume what the girl told me was true. And when I was there, they made us all go into seperate rooms (like I was in the kitchen where they handcuffed and questioned me).

sounds like you were set up....her call gave them all the suspicions they needed to do what they did. Glad you handled it well and move on from this broad.

make a formal complaint and make sure you tell them you didnt get a name when you asked. thats against their policy. go to a doc and see about nerve damage in your wrists. people get paid for that all the time.

That's the reason the system is so messed up...nerve damage?? Show me cases where it pays out big time and I'll shut my mouth.

ahh it's kinda blowing up in this thread. I was pissed for about 3 or 4 hours after it happened like most, then forgot about it... Let it go all yesterday, then woke up today and thought to myself, maybe I should check into this.. It was a little embarrassing.. but really I'm over it... Just thinking, that cop embarrassed me, if I made a complaint just saying I want him to apologize would be embarrassing to him... he was really rude.. I'd just like to see him get his. I'll live if this gets dealt with or not tho.

yeah, thats understandable, i live in upstate NY, and im not being sarastic, if the cops up here see a blakc kid w/ a basketball in a tall tee, they assume hes selling drugs, lol

That's the thing, I am 22 but look about 17.. I coach a basketball team, like I'm not even some bum player. I volunteer my time to teach 14 and 15 year old basketball kids how to play the game; yet this guy might have assumed I really was a 17 year old kid or something up to no good.

and I'm not in NY right now.. I am living in Canada; Here for college.
