Today, I was torn from my car and slammed against the hood because a canister of window-cleaning wipes I keep in my glove compartment apparently looks vaguely like a pipe-bomb. My lawyer agreed with the cops, and won't handle the "excessive force" case I threatened the police with. FML

After speaking with the chief of police, the officer who stopped me, and a lawyer, we've all come to the conclusion that yes, it was a case of excessive force. The officer took a split second glance, and "panicked" No I'm not sue happy, I got my apology, even though I could take it to court, win, and "**** the police" I'm not. At the end of the conversation, we even had a laugh at the fact that officer aggression needs a chill pill. Although I did get a pretty decent bruise on my chest/shoulder. No harm done.

That sucks for you and you should totally file a complaint. But look at this from a cops point of view: they could either use force or run the risk of it being an actual bomb. Even though it sucks for you they're just trying to be safe.

Was that the only lawyer in the world?

Every traffic stop could be life or death for the police. Crazys are not as rare as they used to be. If they see something that suggests a gun/ bomb/knife they have to react fast with shock and awe tactics. PC will get them killed

Someone should learn the difference between "excessive force" and "standard procedure". If the police suspect you to have an explosive device in your car they are licensed to pull you the vehicle and onto the hood. If they would beat the living shit out of you in the process, that would be excessive force. Don't try and sue them for doing their job. YDI

As if anything would happen to the cop anyway. They just do whatever they want.
