I dont remember feeling scared only disgusted at them. I was charged with resisting arrest a non-sensical paradox thrown in a detox cell and physically silenced several times over the night, officer who released me told me i was the slowest learner he had seen. No i didnt make a complaint instead i went from lock up to a medical clinic and got a doctor to list and photograph my injuries. When i appeared at court i was still manic i think and had to see a duty solicitor after i showed her my medical report, photos and asked over arresting charge was for me to resist she had the case dismissed. This angered me and i demanded my charges be presented to a judge i wanted my day in court. After a few minutes of arguing with court officials i was removed from the courthouse by police and told i would be arrested if i continued with my behaviour.
I was living in New Zealand at the time and unless someone is floridly psychotic or has a well known documented history of psychosis they are deemed under intoxication and treated as officers see fit.
