Interview with Critical Mass Arrestee

This is this first full account from an arrestee that I’ve seen from someone that was arrested August 31st when Critical Mass went sour. Some of it is very interesting and doesn’t shed a very good light on the Minneapolis Police Department.

Immediately four officers pulled me down on my back, only my left hand was free. The officer who held my left leg was hitting it with a shock stick making my thigh muscles jump.

All four told me to stop resisting at which I joined the aforementioned chorus and said “I am not resisting officer, I am not.” I was then told to get on my stomach. I was hand cuffed and shaken around to which I kept repeating “I’m not resisting.”
