A: If you believe you've experienced mental discrimination or excessive force by officers, it's essential to seek legal counsel promptly. Contact a reputable attorney who specializes in civil rights or police misconduct cases to discuss your situation in detail. They can provide personalized advice based on the specifics of your experience and help determine if you have grounds for legal action.

Documenting any incidents of discrimination, excessive force, or misconduct is crucial. Keep detailed records of dates, times, locations, and descriptions of what occurred, as well as any witnesses or evidence you may have. This documentation can serve as valuable evidence if you decide to pursue legal action against the officers or police department involved.

Additionally, if you've experienced issues with 911 calls being hung up on, it's important to report these incidents to the appropriate authorities. Reach out to local government officials, advocacy groups, or legal organizations that specialize in addressing issues related to emergency services and communication. They can offer guidance on how to escalate your concerns and advocate for improved services and accountability.
