A:
I'm sorry to hear that your son has been mistreated by the police. If your son was physically harmed by the police and they falsified reports, he may have grounds to pursue legal action against the police department or the individual officers involved.
One option is to contact a civil rights attorney who specializes in cases of police misconduct. These attorneys can assist you in filing a lawsuit against the police department, seeking compensation for any injuries or damages that your son suffered as a result of the mistreatment.
You can search for a civil rights attorney in your area through legal directories such as Avvo, FindLaw, or Justia. You can also contact your local bar association or the National Lawyers Guild for referrals to attorneys who specialize in police misconduct cases.
It's important to gather as much evidence as possible to support your son's claims, including medical records, eyewitness statements, and any video footage or audio recordings of the incident. Your attorney can help you collect and preserve this evidence as well as build a strong case to hold the police accountable for their actions.
If your son is facing ongoing harassment from the police, you may also want to consider contacting organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) or the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) for support and resources.
Remember, it's important to act quickly in these situations, as there are strict deadlines for filing lawsuits and pursuing legal action against the police.
