I got roughed up by sf pd a few years ago. I was walking home one night threw the edge of the tenderloin district. As I came up on Larkin and Geary there was something going on with the cops and some bums.
A friend of mine made a wise crack and they immediately grabbed him, slammed him on the car and started to search him. I said "what the fuck" and a cop started poking me in the chest extremely hard asking me if I wanted to go to jail. I said I know my rights that's assault as he was poking me in my chest. Next thing I knew I was on the ground being hit by 3 officers.
My friend and I spent that night in jail. We were released the next morning with no charges filed. I still have pictures, I walked out of jail with a black eye and bloody rings around my wrists from the tightness of the cuffs. We filed complaints with the office of citizen complaints but they didn't do shit. At the time I lived 3 blocks from where this happened and was completely sober.
Cops out here are fucking assholes. I always try to steer clear of them. They're thugs with badges. There is a huge scandal going on right now in SF about this very subject. There is something like 2000+ police related assaults reported a year in San Francisco. Fucking crazy!
