Q: I have been assaulted by police,I have a letter from the county saying I need to file a extension

I called 911 on myself for psychiatric help after loosing my home and being severely burned in a fire. the police showed up & dismissed the ambulance & EMTs & proceeded to arrest & assault me unjustly. They put handcuffs on my (3rd& 4th degree) burned wrists and 6 officers assaulted me. I am 110 lb. Woman. I was dragged through 14 months in which I was told nothing about my case and could not even get an appointment with my lawyer before the charges of battery on peace officers were dropped right before trial. I received a letter from the county counsel stating that I have a claim, but I need to file an extension. The bar association will not refer me to a lawyer. Please help asap!!
