complained written 22 July 2008. Feb 21 2008 @ five o'clock I flipped off a police car while it was driving east on Ventura blvd. and Shoup intersection. It was running it's sirens and lights so all the traffic was stopped. The officer saw me and suddenly turned right, toward the driveway at the Shell station I was just walking past. However the car stalled out just short of the driveway, the driver of the police car just missed an car that pulled over and stopped on the east bound side of Ventura. The officer at the wheel appeared confused that the car shut down and was fumbling abot the dash board as if he was tring to decide between shuting off the siren and lights or restarting the car. I'm used to police using force on me to change my mind but this shutting down of the car and the confusion of the officer was just too weird. So, I started to walk away but the car was started and it moved on up the drive into the gas station. The cop got out and I was doing the 'I'm walking away' bit. I only got to the corner (ventura and shoup south side of ventura heading west) and the crosswalk light changed to red. So I was stuck. I closed my umbrella so the cops wouldn't break it (it was a light drizzle going). There were two cops. So lets say the big one was the one in the lapd longer and the little one just with the lapd a short time. The cop said I 'don't know who I'm fucking with'. Now the big one asked if I knew what 'suicide by cop' was. The big cop said flipping someone off was a criminal offence. He made me get in the police car and drove us to the police station, along the way he used a cellphone call to ask if the firing range was open, it was not. The big cop said he was going to try to get me detained under a 5150. At the station we had to wait for a police nurse to talk to. The nurse (a her) told me the big cop told her I had ran into traffic, but the big cop was there with her and corrected her by saying I had not ran into traffic, but she ignored him. She said he saw me make an agressive gesture, but again he tried to correct her by say I had flipped him off. During the wait in a holding cell the nurse said I had threatened a judge. Huh? She showed me the record sheet which just mentioned a 'threat on elected offical, judge, ect'. Well there's no grand jury,no accusation, no conviction. She concluded a judge whould be involved since she has no more to do with elected officals than a postman does.So what happened was being delibrately mistaken to say I was convected as a terriost. I know the cops use creative writing on their investigations but to write falsehoods into records that a hold can be called an arrest should be a felony. I also pointed out to the nurse I made complaints about Arcadia making the three felonys during this investigation. I belive the nurse used the detaining in deciding the 5150. Ironically, later I went to the Shell station and talked to the witness. I found he saw what had happened and asked me if the police were crazy. I think you should talk to him. To conclude, my 1st admendment was violated, lied in a police report about running into traffic (the nurse not the cop), and found a frabicated felony was put into my arrest record.
