Re: Florida Cops
I'd have to echo others concerns as to the legitimacy of this story.
"So I needed help I was soaking wet w/sea water in barely any clothes. I called the police." Why call the police? The police didn't arrest you for indecent exposure? Cool!
"They gave me a ride to my hotel so I could get my things" Again very cool of them!
"but I said something sassy" Why would you do that seems like they were going out of their way to help you right?
"4 of them pinned me down & cuffed me" Are you 6'8 or were you on PCP?
"They took me to a jail to put me in a drunk tank for the night." Sounds like they were still being cool considering the number of things you could have been charged with.
"None of it bothered me much except for being processed." So being pinned down and handcuffed took a back seat to this?
"Like 8 of them laughing at me & making he/she jokes & staring at me." It'll happen sucks when it does.
"And them taking off my jewelry and not giving it all back later." The property sergeant should have taken a full inventory of your property and had you sign it before further processing.
"Probably not necessary to post this but oh well I'm venting alil." Probably not.

Re: Florida Cops
Excellent comment. Some more background would have been helpful to understand how/why Michelle was soaked with sea water, etc. That would help us understand what happened. But having known a few police officers on a friendly basis, here in the supposedly non-redneck Northeastern U.S., I can attest that nearly all of them don't have the most pleasant attitudes toward people who seem at all different, to say the least. Not exactly LGBT allies in any way, shape, or form! And I know a few of them that after a few beers, if they thought you were "on their side" just loved to brag about creating situations where they got to throw their weight around. Especially against blacks or young men. Including beatings, chokeholds, etc. I am a law abiding person, (except for the occasional escort visit), but I think twice before I call the police, unless it is necessary due to someone injured, or a motor vehicle accident or something having been stolen requiring a report for insurance, etc.

Re: Florida Cops
We are not a police state, but the rights that the Constitution says we have can be violated easily enough by the powers that be unless you have legal expertise. Lawyers cost money. And they only give public defenders to people who are practically destitute. Maybe in a courtroom you have some rights, but on the street you really don't. I sincerely hope I do not come across as a "cop hater" type, but some of the towns I have lived in, and the police I have known have made me a little cynical. (Not that they ever seriously mistreated me or anything.)
