That's surprising. The town is tiny. Why did you pass through?

I spent 3 crappy years there when my parents started their own campground/canoe rental place. They sold it and moved back to Vegas, but since my dad is originally from there he went back up and started a new canoe rental business this spring. I really hated that place. Moving to a super-rural town of 200 people was not really my thing. I was just starting high school and I didn't relate to all the hick kids in that area at all. Fucking miserable.

I like WI and MN and a lot of the people up there, I just needed to be in a more metropolitan area instead of a county with less than 10,000 people. The twin cities, Milwaukee, and Madison are all awesome.

My hair is so long and I don't have any money to get one, so I figured giving myself one would be so much more punk,

In retrospect, I could've just jogged back to the house and got it, but jogging up that hill almost every day it really took a toll on my right knee (which I'll be having surgery on here soon) so I just didn't feel like it was worth it.

So I'm leaning against this wall, watching for my friend to come out. The store is less than 100 yards away. All of a sudden, out of the blue two cop cars park really close to me. I didn't think twice about it because I wasn't doing anything wrong.

I'd like to mention that this all transpired within two minutes of me leaving the store. My friend was still in line to pay.

The first cop, who was a dead ringer physically and apparently personality wise for the prick cop in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (including the mustache) yells, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" There were other people around, and I just wasn't paying attention to them. I started to look over in this enraged individuals direction when his hand grabbed the right side of my head and slammed it into the metal door I was leaning on.

About a week prior, for a kind of...art project, I wound up getting beat the fuck up for some photos, including getting hit full force by several different people. I still had welts. This...really didn't feel pleasant.

He grabs me by my shirt and pulls me full force, almost tearing my shirt (it's a HWM shirt, I would've been super pissed if he had). He repeats his previous inquiry: "What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" I reply earnestly: "Leaning against a wall."

He orders me to turn around and put my hands on my head. I turn around, and am trying to guess when he's going to tell me why exactly I'm being harassed. He then proceeds to scream at me for "walking away" when I turned around. The next thing I know, I'm slapped in cuffs.

During this whole time my friend has yet to come out of 7/11. He's still in line.

I try to tell him I'm waiting for my friend to come out, that I'd just felt nauseous (I'm Hispanic, I really didn't want to tell him I didn't have my ID on me, especially in SoCal. I'm from Arizona...I know what happens) and didn't feel well and hoped the cool air would help.

He then proceeds to pat me down.

Now, my mother had worked for the police/judge in Eloy, AZ for over a decade. I knew the proper protocol for this procedure, which would've been for him to explain why this was happening, and to have me empty my pockets first. I got tremendously lucky, as just before I exited the store, I popped a few of my Vicodin which I had loose in my pocket (legally prescribed, but I did not have the bottle on me because it's quite bulky and I'd been running). He jams his hands into all of my pockets, and when I ask him what I'd done wrong, he replies, "Shut up, spic. I've got a full charge" (assuming he meant for his tazer.) So I shut up, and he searches me. I've been completely compliant up to this point. He goes to pat my legs down, and notices a hole in my pants I had near my crotch, and proceeds to tear it further, and then cups my balls.

He drags me by the cuffs the car, and literally, throws me into the back seat and slams the door, despite me trying to ask him why I'm being detained.

During this time, I've not been read rights, told why I was being detained or even asked my name or to see some form of identification. I'm sitting in the back of this cop car, having no idea what the hell I've done wrong, and finding it increasingly difficult to believe that this was happening to me. I've never been arrested in my life.

Finally my friend comes out of the store, and I'm able to actually get the attention of this cop. I say, "Sir, sir. There's my friend." He slams the door again, and goes over to my friend, is forceful with him and demands he sit on the curb.

My friend later tells me further down the little plaza I was in, the other two cops that where there, that I'd yet to see, were breaking into an automotive repair shop. Apparently, I later deduced when he told me this that they'd assumed I was breaking in, yet...somehow was outside at the same time, too, several buildings over.

Finally, after about 20 minutes in the back of this car, the cop tells me to get out. But, because of my knee injury, and not being able to brace myself while exiting the car (when he threw me into the car in the first place and slammed the door, he didn't wait for me to entirely get in. As a result, this heavy ass car door really took a toll on my knee, and it's still swollen more than usual.) When I tell him I can't maneuver my leg right (I'm on the right side of the car) to get out because of my pending knee surgery, he pushes my body forward and grabs the cuffs and yanks me out.

It's only know, when he's uncuffing me does he ask for my name. He then proceeds to ask what kind of a name is Aaron Earl Hale-Williams for a Mexican. When I explain that I was adopted by a white male, and that I'm only half, he laughs with his cop buddies and asks if it's because of my step father that I hate white people. That maybe he touched me and I liked it, and that I got jealous that he touched my mom more than he touched me.

At this point, I decide being a pacifist isn't the best course of action and retort, "Few things wrong with that. He never touched me, he's what you'd call a decent human being. Difficult concept for you to grasp, I'm sure. Secondly, I don't hate white people, just white prick cops who thinks their badge adds much needed dimension to their dicks. Thirdly, don't I have some fucking rights? And lastly, say another word about him, and I'll give you about 36 reasons to put me back in cuffs."

The "good guy" cop proceeds to try and convince the original asshole to back down. The third cop said, "You have to admit, you look kind of suspicious, dressed in all black with a beard, some kind of Devil Worshiper or a Muslim?" and "It's not like on TV, we don't have to really do all that stuff" in relation to the rights, etc.

"Suspicious? I'm sure. I'm sure it has nothing to do with me being Hispanic."

They attempt to point out that it's Southern California, which ordinarily would be a good point, except that San Clemente is in Orange County, and San Clemente is a predominantly rich white/heavy marine-military city.

I wind up calling their sergeant immediately after I'm let go. He proceeds to ask if all I want to do is "bitch" and if that's the case he could put me on hold while I "pissed and moaned" about the ordeal.

He tells me that the officers in question are reputable, and what did I exactly expect to accomplish by calling? I said that I felt reprimand needed to be dealt, but clearly that wasn't going to happen and I knew that going in. I just wanted to make sure my next step wasn't overkill.

"Is that a threat?"

I said no, not in the least. I did express my confusion though, since I'd been brought up to believe that in all facets of the law pertaining to criminal matters that I was innocent until proven guilty, and that I had rights and race wasn't an issue. "All men created equally" kind of thing, not vice versa and pray to god that there was some shred of evidence that might begrudgingly absolve me of guilt. "It doesn't work like on TV."

"You supposedly did nothing wrong, so why be so upset?"

I took a deep breath, calmed down and said that he was right. I'd done nothing wrong, and that there was no need for me to be upset. In fact, I'd let the ACLU be upset for me.

"We don't have to go that far."

"Yes we do." And I hung up. He proceeded to call back several times.

So yeah. Fuck tha police.

I really hope they'll take the case. This isn't about money, at all.

I'd be willing to settle outside of court for some sort of MMA type event with the original copy, and sell tickets and donate the money to people in LA who get profiled without a cent to their name for legal rep.

As much as I'd love that whole experience, unfortunately I don't think it's economically feasible for me at this point in time. I'd have to fly from Phoenix, to wherever it is exactly in Texas, pay for gas and food with you guys, then get back to Texas and fly back to Arizona.
