Similar shit happened to me on Halloween.
I paid $60 for a ticket to see Caspa playing in a small venue here in Calgary. The bar oversold the show so the police and fire dept show up to kick everyone out. There were still tons of people in the bar when a bouncer comes up to me and starts pushing me towards a door. I'm struggling back telling him to fuck off kick someone else out. He pushed me outside into some cops. Then a COP who looked scared shitless starts pushing me around away from the door even though I'm already outside. I am yelling at him to fuck off, dont fucking touch me. Then he punches me twice in the face and throws me into a wall. Two other officrs help him throw me to the ground as im kicking and screaming. He then pushed my forehead into the ground with his knee cutting my face open really bad. I was bleeding all over as they drag me to their car. We drive to the station as they laugh about how someone was looking for a fight that night.
I've never been punched before this cop hit my twice. I've never been in a fight. I wasn't drunk at the time. I am now being charged with assault of an officer because he's saying that I pushed him before he hit my twice and smashed my face into the pavement. I've got a lawyer and he seems confident that the charges will be dropped. The cop was just really nervous and over reacted.
But I lost all respect I had for police. I never really thought about it much but after this incident I am seriously rethinking what the point of all that was. I am the one paying my tax money for these fucking pigs to roll around causing shit... fuck this system - something needs to change.
