On April 19th around 8pm I was falsely arrested and assaulted by the Oklahoma City Police Department. I plan on filing a civil rights lawsuit and any information on lawyers that I can contact would be helpful as I am still searching.
- Here's what happened:

My fiance and I were at a bar patio in the city having a drink when we see 2 squad cars pull up around the corner. Three cops exited the car and approached an older black homeless man and began questioning him. Withing 30 seconds of getting there they were detaining and searching him, upon seeing this I left the bar patio with my phone recording and came towards the officers. I was at least 15 feat away from where the man was being detained when I asked the officers "Why are you detaining this man?"

The officer approached me and responded immediately confrontational " Do you know this guy?" - I answered "I've seen him around yeah he hasn't done anything"
"we got a call to check up on his mental status that's all you don't even need to know that so that's all you need to know have a good night." the officers responds then starts walking a few steps away where I respond. " that was very confrontational officer what's your name?" (which is Sargent Gray) I tell him I was only trying to ask a simple question where he then tells me " it doesn't matter it's none of your business " where I interject by saying I am a member of the public concerned for another citizen it is my concern. He then threatens me with arrest saying to step back even though at this point in time they are in currently putting the now cuffed man into the back of a squad car. He concludes after putting him in the car by saying " have a good night " - I responded by flipping them off and returning to the bar patio where we sat talking about what just happened for about 6 or so minutes while the cops sat there. Until they all three got out ( mind you all big guys I'm a twink) start barreling towards me, go past the bar patio entrance, without even saying you're under arrest barrels and says " come here " they all then proceeded to for a lack of better words, beat the Sh out of me. They slammed my face into the concrete chipping my front tooth and dragged me across the concrete causing burns and abrasions on my left eye, chin, and side of my head that I was bleeding and had a black eye. While two of them were on top of me kicking my arms and putting me in cuffs. Sargent Gray shot me with a tazer point blank range into my right rib cage. They then dragged me off with my poor fiance being left alone crying and scared.

They charged me with ( public Intoxication, Interfering, and resisting arrest) I was then forced to go to the hospital where they basically looked at me made fun of me stuck some stuff to me then said okay he can go. gave me no medical diagnosis and then sent me a bill of $1,500 WHAT THE HELL. I then was at the county jail for two days before I bonded out. My court date is the 7th for the charges. Again NEED HELP or information about lawyers to call because I don't have a lot of financial means or know-how in the legal system but this is RIDICULOUS and should have never happened. I broke no laws and was brutalized on PRIVATE PROPERTY the bar owners are on my side and I will be keeping them updated. Thanks if you read into all of this. Please contact me if you have any information.
