After continuous pleading, I realized that the officers were not going to help me, and in fact they seemed to perceive that I was mentally unbalance and were even more aggressive with me. I took it upon myself to defend my issues the only way I could -- which was to raise my voice and let the officers know I was in distress and needed help.

The officers shoved me into the back seat of the patrol car, further injuring my ribs. I was lying on my back, coughing, having difficulty breathing and still bleeding from the handcuffs. I kicked the seat and yelled that I needed to be move to a position in which I could breathe. The female officer turned around and dropped me off with one of the male officers as the Emergency Medical Team arrives. At first, the EMS team does not understand my condition even though I tell them that I am HIV+, need the cuffs loosened, and cannot breathe. For reasons unknown to me, the EMS team offers no relief and I am transported to jail in the back of the male officer's car. During this time I continue to cough and hack, even going into kicking spasms as I continue to be deprived of needed oxygen.

While incarcerated my nose bled profusely while in the jail cell with other inmates and I had to be moved to private cell. I had just underwent sinus surgery (April 15, 2013) by Dr. Robert Johnson, and knew that this incident only exacerbated my condition. As soon as I was released I went to Candler hospital for a thorough check up and x-rays. The doctors found that my 8th rib was broken and I had visible lacerations on my face, as well as bruising and open wounds on my wrists.

The medical staff took photographs to document my condition, and also have notes available from the exam. These are from Doctors Docu, Johnson, Lorenz and Dweiko.
