Everything described is EXACTLY how it happened. All I ended up with is a ticket for destruction of private property and a court date. No ticket for anything giving them the right to use force.

My head is healing quite well although all the ripples in my head that were bumps are turning into nice green bruises. A few of the spots were I was hit with the night stick did break skin later, just not right away when the photos were taken. I have a hard head. It takes a beating well as I have proven many times (5 concussions).

I went to the hospital to get checked up and have it documented the next day. I have since really had no problems other then headaches and a few sore spots.

On Wednesday I went down to the Denver Police Internal Affairs and filed a report with the Sergeant. He was shocked that he didn't hear anything about the incident. He told me that when any officer uses force they have to fill out a paper and file it. None were filed that night. The officer whose badge number that was on my ticket was an off duty officer. He was working security in full uniform at the bar we were drinking at. 37 other cops were in the area on duty with an unknown amount of off duty hired police. The Sergeant wanted me to pick the cop that initiated it out of a line up. They brought in 9 officers and I was able to positively identify the first striking officer as number 3. After that I was put through a hour and a half questioning period. Then the Sergeant told me one interesting thing....He said that often they use force on drunks or people they beleive are drunk and 99% of the time they are too drunk to remember. He said that he bets that the officer that started it was banking on the fact that I was wasted and that is also why he just dropped me off on the curb at detox and took off.

My lawyer is actually a retired defense attorney that only does interesting cases. I have done some computer side work for him so he is going to help me out. It is always tough to beat the system but we shall see what happens. I am not after any amount of money, I just want to make an issue out of it to help prevent this from happening again!! The Denver cops are becomming known for this and it's not right!!!

And for those that think this is BS or post crap about how I would be toasted in the hospital bed with stiches......Grow up and save that for the next intake thread!
