Lil Caleb just had his seventeenth birthday yesterday and ended up getting staples in his head from the cops.
Here is the story from him.

And the staples.

Monday november,17th wasnt just my birthday but the day i was assaulted by the portland transit police.Around nine a clock i hopped on the max at he rose garden to go home,the max showed up right when i got to the stop so i didnt have time to buy my fair.When the max got to the 42nd stop two transit police officers got on the max and asked me if i had fair and i said no.He asked me for my i.d. and i said i didnt have one and he said bullshit and asked me to empty my pockets,so i said ok and he began to rubbish through my stuff and i said you dont have the right to go through my wallet and he didnt say anything so i reached across to grab my wallet off the seat and before i could even grab it the two officers grabbed me,and put arms behind my back and slammed my head into the glass that separates where the bike hanger and the chairs are.I noticed that there was blood gushing from my head everywhere.I turned around and asked the officers what they did that for and they said cause i was resisting arrest.there where 2 middle aged men on the max at that time and yelled at the officer for what they had done saying”he did not resist what so ever and the officers replyed and said sir if you dont be quit were going to arrest you as well.The man wrote down his number and told me to call him if i needed anything and that he would testify in court against the officers for what they had done to me.They pulled me of the max and sat me down on the bench and started asking me questions until the ambulance got there.My head was throbbing was light headed and my ear was filled to the brim with blood.The way they were talking to me and the rude comments they were making gave me the worst migrane ever.When the medics came the put me in the ambulance with the handcuffs still on my wrist.My mom met me at the hospital they cops didnt even give me a ticket they just told me i couldnt ride the max for 90 days.So the point of this story is that was assaulted for no reason haha.When i here there saying “protect and serve” now all i can do is laugh in disappointment.

sounds like you could cash in to me
with the “sustained life long injuries” “mental suffering” “possible brain trauma”
I would sue for excess of 1 mil with a “pro-bono” lawyer
and buy a new house
think about man…
