Cops
Are pigs
This was around a year and a half ago. It's happened before in past years and it effects me to this day.
I was going to the ER.
My counselor called for me to go for an eval. I begged her not to.But I knew I had to get help. I was really depressed and hadn't slept for a few days and it was beginning to scare me the thoughts.
They didn't send an ambulance to take me in the cops came instead. However I have been taken in the ambulance for psych evals before.
Apparently the mentally ill are treated just like shit.
I was depressed. I know I was not agitated at all. Told them I was no threat to anybody else or my self. I needed help.
Just tears dripping.
The cops sent two cars with 4 guys. They parked in the middle of the parking lot of my apartment building .
They came in my house
I said good by to my counselor gave her the number of the person to take care of my cat while I was gone. We walked out and downstairs. They had no hands on me until we got out to the cars. They grabbed me cuffed me like I did something wrong..
I asked them to not do the cuffs it too tight as I have nerve damage in my arms and back and sitting that way was going to hurt. They put the cuffs on so tight my hands were going numb and pain was shooting up my arms.
I began writhing because it hurt so bad. They didn't give a shit of course they crammed me into a little Plexiglas box in the seat.
They sarcastically called me a wimp and said they've been in cuffs far longer and could handle it just fine.
They decided to hurt me in a covert way. And they got a charge out of it.
Many times going to get help I have been cuffed crammed into the back of cop car because I am depressed. Being treated like shit because I have mental illness and I am poor does nothing to help me. I have no history of violence all the gawd knows how many times I spent time in hospitals.. sometimes the cops were the same cops who saw me another time I was in crisis.
When I got to the ER they kept me cuffed for two more hours regardless that the staff had taken over custody for them. They kept me standing by a desk the whole time,would not let me go 3 feet away to sit down.
They talked to each other joking and laughing like I wasen't even there. They mis gendered me over and over even after I told them my gender. I asked for water got none.
It was horrible searing pain. When the cuffs finally came off. They were looking in the room the whole time from across the hallway like they wanted to see me hurt.
I screamed because of the nerve damage trying to move my arms the muscles cramping,my arms were trembling because of the nerves making me twitch.
They reprimaded me for yelping in pain from the other side of the hallway as one cop surrounded by security took the cuffs off. It pissed me off. But I just swallowed it.
My hands took a few hours to get feeling in them again. Wrists were tore up. I put on the paper clothes and sat in the isolation room for three days alone with a watcher who ignored me who I had to ask over and over for water or food and she talked on her phone until I got admitted.
By that time the depression was worse. So I am very hesitant to ask for help anymore because of this"procedure".
Cops show they hate the mentally ill and transgendered people.
They shoot mentally ill people for no reason. They hate alot of kinds people it seems. This is a small suburb this incident happened in.
I can't imagine how much worse they'd treat me if my skin was dark.
It's scary what cops with little or no accountability can get away with.
I hate cops.
