I was going to post it here. I wrote it. But you beat me!
I sincerely hope you sue and get paid an exorbitant amount of money for your trouble. You were kidnapped and held without charge, abused and lord knows what else.

I agree. This isn't the first time I wish I could revoke an upvote, but I suppose that's my fault.
Necessary link to Pr. Duane's lecture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc Don't talk to the police. Ever.
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.
I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you?

It's also not right that the police abuse their power to such degrees. They really should up the qualifications on becoming a cop. Right now it's "Eh I can't any other job, guess I'll just be a cop" and you're left with these incoherent slimeballs thinking they run things without any regard for actual law. I've been thrown in a cell for one week. I was drunk the night before, woke up in a cell. No window, no view, lo…
but the one that cracked me up the most was "This is where my weekend of police training really kicks in."
Holding is truly screwed up. When I went I saw so many shitty things. Cops abuse their power every day. I should have known when the managers at my shitty University food stop started on a power trip when I worked there and fired me for eating 8 old wings that were left over when I only ordered 6 for my meal... Went against protocol (needed three strikes, only got one). When I was arrested I was really drunk, I was slammed, and forced to sign a piece of paper banning me from a local college campus indefinitely. They said if I signed they'd let me go. Then they arrested me right after I signed it. Slammed multiple times because I said I couldn't leave into the snow with only socks on since my shoes were in my friends room.

It's really easy to focus on the bad ones, but good cops exist whether you know it or not.
They aren't actually good ones if they go about business as usual in an organization where there are so many bad ones.
[1] "My instinct was to make this distinction go away, to show them I know our neighborhood is more complicated than that. To connect on human terms. I told them that it was an early stage startup; I’m doing this because I feel it’s a way to make the world around me better, to bring people joy through better food." My god imagine listening to this self indulgent tripe at 1 am while keeping your cool.
All tips are notionally taxable income, whether a server chooses to declare all their cash tips is their choice, when you tip with a credit card it stops being their choice - and there's no way of telling how much of the tip is diverted by the establishment.
