Power Being Abused

Date of Interaction: 29 July 2014
Police Employees Involved: Mt. Clemens and Clinton Twp.
While at the hospital with my girlfriend, I witnessed a man being ripped out of a police car while already cuffed. When the officers, and McClaren hospital security, who are “private security,” started roughing up the man, I pulled out my phone. The police tasered him while he was kneeling, not fighting and of no threat.
The security guard pushed me while grabbing my phone, then put his fist in my chest after I demanded my phone back. I was then told if I touch him they will “take me down,” meaning I was not allowed to defend myself. A cop detained me, and when I asked why, his response was, “I don’t know, we are going to find out.”
He ran my ID after cuffing me and putting me in his car with no reason for suspicion. He then returned my things and let me go.
I found out later that he was taken to the hospital after being in a motorcycle accident. The force was excessive and the taser was never needed. It happened at McClaren hospital in Mt Clemens, Michigan.
