Cops broke my tooth on purpose.

[Mr_Wolf123]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FLORIDA


Long story short, I was cuffed, cursed at, let out into elevator by cops, and slammed head first into the elevator wall. I have broken tooth.


Here is the long version. 23rd, I got drunk at home, two wine bottles, half a bottle vodka, I was alone and got a little bit out of hand. Took it out on my wall and TV. Cops were called, I did not open the door, turned lights off, and went to sleep. There was about 20 of them, armed with AR-15s, after 40 minutes of knocking they busted in guns drawn. I was on my bed, ordered to turn on my belly, cuffed. Cops cursed at me, "you mother f'r, now we got you, you should have opened the door." I had two air guns, .177 pellet guns, something you could use to shoot a bunch of squirrels at a squirrel bar, they made a big deal out of it. One yelled GUN, and they almost took cover. I was drunk, and couldn't control myself, so when they cursed at me, I cursed back at them. Then two cops took me out to their patrol car, when I was in the elevator, I told him go ahead slam me against the wall, because the language he used on me suggested that he's going to do something like that. He did slam me against the wall in the elevator. I have broken tooth. I was just walking into the elevator at his pace, and he shoved me into the wall, his hand on my neck, and held me there until we got to the first floor. I was really scared for my life at that point. I wasn't resisting and was cooperative and cuffed. Though I did curse back at them.

Anyways, they got me on Baker act. Danger to myself and others. At the station I refused to give my blood and take the drugs. They done it to me anyway, they took my blood without my consent, and gave me 3 shots of some sort of crap. 30 seconds into it I couldn't speak, and then I blacked out. I woke up in hospital. Psych was suppose to come in the morning and check me out. Since I had no insurance they transferred me into community mental health center. Guy at the door told me what you doing here, they should have send you home. I was out the 25th..

Now, today is 28th, I'm still having problems from drugs they pumped me with. Confusion, sleep cycle is all over the place, trouble concentrating. I never was like this before. Nor have I ever had any history with cops.

They took both of my air guns and a hunting knife and won't give it back to me without court order.


Do I have a case on my tooth? (I'm going to dentist the 5th)
Do I have a case on them taking my blood without my consent?
Do I have a case on them giving me drugs without my consent?
Do I have a case on them breaking and entering into my property? (I have damaged door frame and banged up metal door)

two bottles of wine and a half bottle of vodka.


you were violent in the apartment all by yourself.

cops had to restrain you. how on earth do you remember all that detail? that's alot to drink.

i'm guessing the blood was drawn by a nurse. you were not cooperative, so you may have been sedated.

i'm not seeing a case.

Drunks lose their footing all the time.

I suspect there is MUCH more to this story

[Mr_Wolf123]

I was not violent. There was plenty of witnesses around that can testify that I cooperated with cops. At the station I refused to take their drugs and give them my blood, but it was verbal. When nurse came to do those I cooperated, unwillingly. I let them know that I don't want this, but at the same time won't fight them.


I haven't fought any of the officers, and yet I was slammed head first into the elevator. I have a broken tooth.


One more thing. two actually. I remember it all as clear as daylight, until they pumped with drugs, after that I don't remember nothing.
When I was put into cop car, I complained to the officer that was waiting outside that I was slammed head first. They should have it on their dash cam.

[Mr_Wolf123]

What I don't get to this day is why the hell they cursed at me? Can anyone clear that out?

What non-violent action did you take on your wall and TV? Did you stick your tongue out at them?

There was about 20 of them, armed with AR-15

I suspect there is a reason the police arrived in force.

This calm and peaceful drunk who took his alcoholic rage out on his tv and wall didn't deserve that kind of treatment ~ come on you guys... you know that.

I think the SJ formula for compensation is perfect for this OP. OP sue for 1.2 million dollars

I'm assuming they felt they had probable cause combined with an exigent circumstance or, someone let them in.

Let's face it. While it is entirely possible you were a victim of retribution based on contempt of cop, it seems FAR MORE LIKELY you *were* a danger to yourself or others. Maybe you threated a neighbor who told you to be quiet or maybe...well maybe one of any number of things.

Armed, drunk and cussing at the police is no way to go through life son.

[Mr_Wolf123]

Very well..

Based on broken tooth should I bother with internal affairs? I feel like I was mistreated and I want justice.
