A:
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It's important to seek legal assistance from a qualified attorney who can help you navigate your options. Documenting the details of what happened, including any injuries sustained and the events leading up to them, can be crucial for building your case. Be sure to gather any witnesses or evidence that supports your account of discrimination and excessive force by the officers involved.
You may also want to consider reaching out to local advocacy groups or organizations that specialize in supporting individuals with mental health conditions who have faced discrimination or misconduct by law enforcement. They can offer guidance, resources, and support as you seek justice for what happened to you. Remember that you have rights, and there are people and resources available to help you protect them.
In addition to seeking legal and advocacy support, consider prioritizing your mental health and well-being during this challenging time. Don't hesitate to reach out to mental health professionals or support networks for assistance and support as you process what happened and work towards healing. Your well-being is important, and taking care of yourself emotionally and mentally is essential as you navigate this difficult situation.
