OP definitely needs to sue the city, as well as the aggressors personally. Every cop involved in this situation should be spending years in prison for battery, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and torture. Until justice for victims of the police becomes routine, they're nothing but another gang and the only good cop is a dead cop.

I upvoted this comment for that; it seems like a prudent step to take.

And then I got here and wish I could undo. I don't understand why you would say such a thing. That's just not right.

> I begged them to watch out for my recently broken right elbow.

They don't give a shit about your elbow nor should they. Everyone who gets put in cuffs complains about some current or former injury.

I'm not sure I buy every second of your recount. but there is a big difference between a good samaritan and a do-gooder. If the cops tell you it is time to leave the scene, it's 1 AM on a city street, you've been drinking, then it's time to leave.

Yes cops are generally assholes. The nice guys don't last out there.

That's the attitude police departments prop up and justify every time they close ranks around officers who commit this kind of misconduct, instead of feeding the bad cops to the dogs and maintaining high standards of public service.

Is the attitude morally right? Immaterial.

Learn the lesson: police are never your friend, helping others WILL get you punished eventually - all good deeds are punished in the long run, police can and will do whatever they want to you with no repercussions. Keep your head down and enjoy your free country.
