Writing challenge #4

Being arrested and just unsure since you’re out at night you just start assuming other things. Really you can be just getting arrested to see if you knew anything about the group of people you were seen with earlier or since you matched the description of some other person that they were looking for, or a old crime you committed and forgot all about.
Usually when you get arrested the police warn you bye saying, “Anything you say will be used against you”. Asking the officer what did you do is what most likely everyone ask, but when you start saying I didn’t do nothing, that wasn’t me, and so on it gives the police officer thoughts that your guilty of something. You will be better off saying nothing at all unless the officer asks a question. Saying too much is way worst than saying less.
My cousin was arrested last year his first year being in MN for playing basketball in the park. The officers just slammed him on the ground while yelling “everyone get on the ground now”. All my cousin said was “sir this hurts” and his face was kneed to concrete. I sat there on the bench since the girls were told to sit still, and watching all the blood surround his face. After my cousin and I was searched and told to leave we started walking straight home and he continued to say he didn’t feel good while I was speed walking talking to myself repeating Minneapolis police aren’t right and thinking my mom is going to go crazy. On the block of my house my cousin fainted.
I told my mom part bye part while she sat crying in the emergency room. “All he said was sir these cuffs hurt” and you can see all blood. My mom has a case on them police officers. If im not mistaken she’s still going through with her lawsuit on them. I’m not allowed to play out on the back of parks anymore, and my cousin moved back to Vegas with my grandma. Whether my cousin said nothing he was still knocked to the floor, but saying to little is enough and the same as saying too much and was treated even worse.
