Dear Spot, I am glad you reminded me about a case I am handling. A woman and her boyfriend were in a local big chain grocery store, supermarket. Her boyfried had a bottle of vodka in his pants pocket and he had had quite a bit to drink. Some other customer told the store manager that he had a gun in his pocket. When my client, the girlfriend, got to the front of the store with her boyfiend, the cops jumped out with guns pulled, knocked the boyfriend to the floor, threw the grilfriend (my client) against the wall and made her stand with her hands above her head and with her fingers interlocked while they searched the boyfriend on the floor. When they found the bottle of vodka instead of a gun, the cops just left without even an apology. The store, I think, did apologize to the girlfriend; but, heck! that does not get her any justice. Of course, I took her case! I will get her some money out of it and some for my honey also. Sorry about all your problems! Why don't you sue them for what they did to you! Best of luck!
