We’re All Guilty of Mugshot Shaming

So I saw web traffic coming from this link. Thank you for your opinion, but you are quite misinformed. First of all, the surveillance footage from McDonald's show my friend working the drive-thru and taking photos with customers. There was a clear police bias at play, which we learned about once we got the dispatch calls. The police targeted Ronald and Smeagol because their brother had been arrested a year ago for pot.

That said, I was not at McDonalds. I was running the event we were arrested at. When the police showed up I was approached by a patron of the event who notified me that the police were there. I went aside and observed. It wasn't until Smeagol began walking over that I went to stop him from getting involved. By the time I got to him, one of the Troopers shoved him backwards and was screaming like a psychopath.

I calmly stated I was there to bring him back inside, which one trooper acknowledged. I began to move Smeagol back towards the venue when the aggressive trooper jumped over my back trying to grab Smeagol. I tucked my hands into my stomach and began to remove myself from the scrum. The violent Trooper kneed me in the balls. At that point I began to move towards the police car to make sure the event was captured on camera. The violent trooper assaulted me from behind. When I asked what he was doing he continued to curse and scream at me. He then pulled out pepper spray and said he'd spray me if I didn't stop. I stopped and asked, "Are you fucking insane?"

He then sprayed me. Then I was tackled and kicked and punched in the head until I was knocked unconscious. So yeah, maybe you should keep your ill-informed opinions to yourself and not believe articles whose only source was a fabricated police report.
