Today, I found out the off-duty cop who beat my face in front of a dozen witnesses was wasn’t even charged with assault. I have court in two weeks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, whilst presenting a report to the head of my college, I was arrested by a police officer for assault. I was in a bar the night before and accidentally bumped into a local tough guy on the way to the toilet. I got punched in the face. The witnesses got our names mixed up. That'll look great on my CV. FML
Today, I got mugged at work. The sad thing is I'm a cop and was trying to catch the people who mugged me previously while off duty. FML
Today, I got a letter in the mail saying I'm being sued by the guy that broke into my house last week. When I walked in and saw him, I tackled him, punched him in the face a time or two, and restrained him with zip ties. I now have to pay for his broken nose and face charges of assault. FML
Today, I got bailed out of jail. I was there because I saw a girl being hit by her boyfriend. I rushed over to help only to have her hit me repeatedly. The cops came and she blamed her bruises on me. The boyfriend corroborated her story. FML
Today, I found out that the woman who I punched in the face after I caught her on my porch snooping through my mail is pressing charges. FML
Today, I went to court expecting to walk out a free man. Turns out my misdemeanor offense couldn't compare to the crime I committed when I walked into the court house with a switchblade tucked into my shoe. FML
Today, a punk-looking college kid was making fun of my mentally handicapped son. Out of anger, I punched him in the face. I got handcuffed and thrown into a police car. The kid stood there laughing and pointing at me. FML
Today, it was my court date for a car accident I was involved in back in July. I had spent months preparing a case to prove my innocence. I was scheduled to appear at 10:00 this morning. I woke up at 10:15AM. FML
Today, I was beaten up by a complete stranger for “giving her a dirty look.” I can’t see my own face. FML
Today, someone was getting beat up by 6 guys. When I tried to help, they had a swing at me as well. The cops came when I was enthusiastically defending myself. They got away, I got arrested. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sadly welcome to American “justice” the DA (the office responsible for charging people with crimes) works hand in glove with the police. The police are almost never charged with a crime unless there are witnesses and videos posted online. There are exceptions but not as often as you would expect. Handling cops 101: (1) Immediately comply with orders. (2) Do not attempt to escape that will end badly, sometimes with your death. (3) Do not argue, do not confront, save your arguments for court if you are arrested. Follow these steps and you will live to see another day.

I prefer the “take you down with me” approach. Can’t wait to traumatize some bastard for taking me out when i was no threat. Sadly, I haven’t had my chance to **** up a cop, but one day, god willing, i’ll be able to rise to the occasion! Hell, i’m a white male and I ******* hate cops.

If this really involves crooked cops, and they get theirs, they should be on a derisive poster that says "Support Your Local Police."
