Don't really feel comfortable talking about this on the internet, but I'll try and be brief, not too long, and to the point

-Walking home last night from a buddy's neighborhood with a few friends
-Cops roll up on us while we're walking, nothing on us, cigarettes, gatorades, that's bout it
-Cops start askin me "what are you doing?" and so I say "what do you want?" according to the cop I was disrespecting.
-Cop gets out of his car, starts getting in my face. Tell him to get out of my face, he's being aggressive and needs to back off
-Try to calm down the situation (Apologize to cop, tell him lets start over, talk man to man, he ain't having that), cop is crying that I'm disrespecting him. Buddies on the side bout it, starts checking my I.D. saying he thought I was underage and that's why he stopped us, showed him I.D. to reveal I'm above 18
-I'm getting pissed off, I work 5AM to 330PM each day. It's 1 AM at this point. I tell him it'd be easier for us to just walk home, and they continue their patrol routes, theres no point in this
-Cop says to his partner cop "Do you smell alcohol on his breath?" I just finished smoking a cigarette
-I get pissed, tell him to call his supervisor, we'll deal with it that way. He was trying to hit me with a ticket for underage consumption of alcohol (Petty offense)
-I try to smoke another cigarette before this supervisor shows up, the fatass pig who gave me the original problem (His partner was quiet and sitting on the side) starts telling me I'm under arrest and tries to grab my arm, I shove away and tell him to calm down. Pulls out his tazer
-Tell him to back off, he backs off, I'm like get your supervisor I'm not dealing with this
-Supervisor shows up, right when I think I'm about to talk to him, tries to grab my arm to arrest me, I tell him to cool off and shove him away, then the other three try to push me into the car (Kind of doesn't work I'm a big dude and these guys were struggling to deal with me). So I suppose in a way you can say I was resisting, but at the same time they were grabbing my arms, literally pushing my face into the cop's window, the Sergeant(Supervisor) grabbed my neck with his fingers and was trying to squeeze on my neck


My buddies were on the side when this was going on, they told me from their point of view it looked like the four tried to grab me, that one dude started kicking my legs, again, pushed my head into the cop car window, had my neck getting grabbed and scratched up. Apparently while they were doing this one had a Tazer gun out and another had his Nightstick. I'm not sure if I got hit with the Nightstick on my leg it's in pain, nothing unbearable could be from the kicking it happened so fast to me

Point is, they TRIED to breath-test me for alcohol, I refused and told them they had no right to bother us, told them they were harassing us, told them they had no probable cause beside him saying "I smell alcohol"

They never breath-tested me for my underage consumption of alcohol, however they did put me in a cell for resisting arrest

My buddies wanted to write statements to the court for when I show up explaining how excessive they were with me, not sure if that's going to work though

My point is will I have a case? I'm trying to enlist in the Corps at some point in 2015, I'm wondering if this will affect my ability to enlist. Kind of an odd topic. I just feel like there is no absolute evidence of underage consumption of alcohol, therefore it will be thrown out. Also, I don't know how I should argue the resisting arrest when I was in the situation telling the police officers to calm down and they were getting physical with me.

I don't know if it's absolutely required, but I'm almost positive they didn't read me my Miranda Rights either

Man cops are bytch made mother fukkers though. Once the sergeant got hard with me and tried to arrest me they all jumped on top of me no question. The fakkit who showed up with the fat pig who was upset that I 'disrespected him' just sat there and did what they said.

You fukked up by talking back to him.....Only say "am I being detained"...if "yes",....then dont say anything else

he gonna use what you said against you

I asked if I was being arrested, he told me yes, I asked why, he said underage consumption of alcohol

I asked him if he had proof of this, he told me to take a breath-test, told him he had no probable cause, bullshyt like that, I never actually took some kind of test nor do they have evidence or proof that I was drinking alcohol besides him saying to his partner "You smell alcohol on him?"

I'm pickin up what you're putting down though. They were talking crazy shyt to me at the moment, and at the station, and I was talking shyt back. Don't know if they can use that against me though.

You prolly go get resisting breh. Just comply with police if you havent don anything. They ask for ya ID.. give it to em. You aint been drinking and they want a breathalyzer... take it. I been arrested and been handcuffed another time. Handcuffed time was when I was walking outta a walgreens at like 2 or 3 am after I got off work. Cop pulled up and parked behind me. Came asking for my ID and shyt gave it to em but I had dope in the car. Ate that shyt but he came back saying he smelled it. Another cop came and they searched my car. Found no pot. I was detained because they flipped it and said I had a Iphone that had been reported stolen in texas :comeon:. I bought the phone from this old lady at my job. Know she aint steal that shyt. They had me standing in the rain for damn near a hour. Turns out all iPhone 4s had the same serial number on the back and they let me go. Cops are dikks man. Try to get you a lawyer if you can afford it. A public defendent aint go do shyt.

If all that is true...then the charge should get dropped....you got caught up in your frustration...I understand...but its a cops job to catch you saying something silly so they can use it as an excuse..thats why lawyers are adamant about shutting the fukk up

I feel your frustration bruh. Been thru that same stop and frisk and being asked irrelevant questions shyt. I can sit here all day n tell you everything you "shoulda" did but da only thing that matter at this point is that you lawyer up, get ya witnesses in order along with their statements, and straight flip the tide on 'em.

In the streets the cops are the hunters and were the hunted. Unfortunately we gotta fight our battles in the courtroom. But when we come in there armed with a case like yours and the right lawyer, WE become the hunter and they become the prey. THe burden of proof gets flipped and they have to defend THEIR actions more than you'd have to prove YOURS. Good luck bruh bruh.

Is this your first experience with police? :dahell: u did everything WRONG :mjlol:

Not first experience, It's kind of hard to describe the whole situation though. One moment I asked what the police officer wanted, next moment dude rips open his door and starts getting in my face like he's bout to throw hands or something, prob an ego thing but when a fatass suburban officer is trying to flex his authority to me it just pissed me off.

DONT TALK EVER

Damn true. And I wasn't talking when I was in the station, told em not until I get a lawyer. And I wasn't incriminating myself of anything talking to the officers. Just went down hill right after he said "You smell the alcohol?"
