2. The mentally ill

Get brutalized by cops.

I have my own story dealing with them.

It seems its fun for them to harass,hurt and kill mentally ill people.

After all who you gonna belive a "crazy" or a cop?

I hate going to get help in a psych unit. Other the fact you are staying in there,the cops who take you there treat you like its a crime to be depressed or psychotic even if you are no threat to them.

You get cuffed put in a plexiglass box built into the cop car that barely fits your body.

Its embarassing in the parking lot going through this shit as your neighbors watch.

All while the cops are sarcastic mean and act like assholes to you unprovoked.
They do nothing or make jokes if you are in physical pain from the tight cuffs or being stuffed in the box awkwardly.

Cops are a threat to mentally ill people and they should not transport mentally ill people to the hospital who are no threat to them.

They used to take you in an ambulance they stopped doing that ,why I will never know.
