Could use some help!!!!

If anyone could attend I would appreciate it, if not, it's cool... But I'll start from the begining...

I will share what happened to me on 11/29/07 and I'm going through the legal process now.

This is gonna be long...

What I think what I can say without affecting my case is that an officer from a different jurisdiction than the one I was riding in, thought I was a crazy squid and not a 35 year old father of 3 and possibly had motorcycles run from him in the past and had a chip on his shoulder. So one morning on my way to work he didn't like the way I was riding and figured he would get the big, bad, evil sportbike rider.

I have ridden & driven this way to work for the last 3 years, 6 days a week, and never had a problem. I never saw him behind me, and was busy paying attention to the traffic in front of me because I was entering a construction zone that had been set up for the last 4 weeks, and was merging into traffic. He came up punched me in the left shoulder. I was shocked!! He pulled along side me and I finally did see him and gestured that I was going to pull over at the first safe spot. I guess in his mind he felt I should stop right in a one lane construction zone and get ran over, so he pulled up and He followed that up with kicking me in my thigh once, kicking my bike twice, then rammed me with his light bars twice, with the final time forcing me into a curb causing me to crash. The entire time I was screaming at the top of my lungs "Stop it, I'm pulling over, what's wrong with you!!".

After I crashed I got to my feet with my hands up and pointed the 20 feet or so to the turn in to a junior high school that I was planning to pull into and yelled that I was pulling over. He ran up to me grabbed me by my backpack actually lifted me off of my feet and slammed my head into the ground, luckily I was wearing a full face helmet.

He then put his entire weight on my back, thank God for Dainese back protectors, and tried to cuff me, he was yanking on my arms because I was wearing Dainese gauntlet gloves and he couldn't get the cuffs on, I was yelling that "I can help you, I can get the gloves off with my arms behind my back", he yelled at me that he didn't need my help and continued cranking my shoulders until a Chandler Officer came up and assisted him. After this, he found out that I have my license, motorcycle endorsement, registration, insurance, no warrants, etc. and was on my way to work and figured he would charge me with a bunch of false charges to save his a** and his job...

Unfortunately the legal system in AZ is very. Ummm. ******ed up... they treat you like crap and you are pretty much guilty until proven innocent. When I was put in a car, I heard other officers telling him good job, and stuff, and I'm thinking to myself, good job for what? Crashing an innocent man on his way to work?? He really was being treated like he stopped a killer or rapist or something, and after seeing that, I got scared and saw first hand how some cops really see sportbike riders as the enemy...

They mocked me for the safety gear I was wearing, and pretty much treated me like a dog. This happened at 7:00 a.m. on a Thurs. One of the Chandler Officers was nice enough to use my cell phone to call one of my employees to let him know I wouldnt be in to work because I was being arrested for felony flight from the Officer, and other trumped up charges.

It was payday, so I wasnt at work to do payroll, I had to give my emplotees permission to forge my signature so that they could get paid. One of my employees had to come to the sub station and pick up my personal belongings, they didn't give me a bail amount until 6:30 p.m. that evening, the same employee came to the jail about 1 1/2 hours distance from my home with my wife and stayed there with her since it's not the best part of town, she paid the bail a little after 8 p.m., I finally got out at 5:30 a.m. the next day, Friday.

My wife and I both needed to be at work, so we went home, showered and went to work. I told the employee that was with my wife to go home and get some sleep and come in later that afternoon. After work I went to urgent care, they sent me by ambulance to the hospital and I was there until 4 a.m. Sat., nothing serious, just some bad aches and pains, especially on my left side, but I wasn't too bad off because I was wearing full gear. I went home got a couple hours of sleep and went to work on Saturday.

On that following Monday got a good attorney ($$$$$$$$) and now I wait and see what happens.

I've read the police report and pretty much, a lot of what he is claiming happened didnt happen, and just plain isn't possible. I've videotaped the route in a vehicle for evidence in court...

The worst part about this, is that another motorcyclist did this to me.

Even now, that just seems so out of the realm of reality to me. I'm confused and I'm angry that this guy has this power to try to ruin someone's life on a whim. What if he did this to my wife who rides, or my mother-in-law who rides, or an inexperienced rider or someone not wearing gear?

How can he live with himself?

I'm not bashing cops, because I have met a ton of nice ones but it's guys like this cop though, that really have no place having this type of power in their hands.

Well my trial is Tuesday 6/10/08 if any of you could attend my trial... It is at 10:30 a.m. at 101 W. Jefferson in Phoenix at the Court building... Not sure of what courtroom yet, but the jury selection is in room 612, so it may be in that room... My attorney wants to show that motorcycle riders come from all walks of life and all different ages... If any of you could make it I would very much appreciate it!!
