Last year I've been punched by a policeman who then accused me of having pushed him against something unknown and having caused him a damage to the face worth 4 days. The prosecutor believed him and not me, archived my demand against him and went on with the trial of him against me. I'm psychologically disabled, I suffer from anxiety and depression and obsessive disorder and on September 27th 2024 I will be condemned for something I didn't do. This is ruining my life and there's nothing I can do about it cos I'm unable to withstand a trial, even considering they'll sway in my favor.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Cops are unaccountable fucking thugs, and judges are too, because they believe cops unquestioningly over regular citizens. It's fucked up that an entire part of society that is supposed to dole out "justice" routinely acts like all citizens are an invading force meant to destroy the lives of cops and judges. It's utter fucking insanity, and these people need to be taken down a peg and brought back to fucking sanity and being part of society instead of acting like they're above it all.
Ain't gonna happen, I'm afraid.
Do you not have a pro bono lawyer? The ACLU should have a field day with that cop.
I have a lawyer. The prosecutor is on his side. Nothing I can do.
