whew. i thougth america was bad. oh yeah it is... i just havent experienced it myself yet. Idk id be pissed though. very. if you can i would sue them. They wasted moments of your life and physically abused you.
south african police are the worst like this. brutality and corruption everywhere. ive been searched many times just cos of my hair. just put whatever u have on you in your underwear (wont apply of course if they strip search you.) otherwise just throw that shit away, u can always get more. but ya its terrible, things like this make me so angry, and theres no way to stop/change it. sorry to hear about your struggles bro
