I reported a crime. The officers were racist and misogynistic. I made a complaint. The complaint was sent to that officers team. So they destroyed my life. This sums it up. There is a lot of detail. They spent a lot of time and effort doing this and made up

Please forgive the length of this story – I just really, really want to share – I’ve missed so many details and incidents, but there’s still plenty. It won’t be the ‘worst’, but it may well have some parts, at least, that many people can relate to, and may, I
