Before I knew I had PTSD and bipolar, I was working part time while attending two universities full time. I had a medicine-induced psychosis accompanied with amnesia after being pulled over for a stop sign 🛑 violation. I black out and become non-compliant. I never punched pushed or touched either of the two officers. Although they pepper sprayed my right eye so close that it’s permanently bruised. I had both of the cops on my back while walking down the street. I come to and realize omgosh what is happening and I have a panic attack. I eventually try to pass out but can’t. When I wake up, I’m being arrested and I’m clueless about what just happened. Even though a doctor proved it was due to medicine, one of the universities I was attending kicked me out. They charged me with a felony assault on a police officer. Although a doctor determined it was medicine induced psychosis, I had to take a plea instead of fight for the truth because it was too much of a risk if I lost. I have no previous record. I’m a law-abiding veteran and man of God. The system is rigged.

@Clark Harris thank you. I was dealing with civilian doctors when that incident occurred. The VA has been taking good care of me. They have been there every step of the way and I wouldn’t be able to be where I am without their help. That being said, psychiatric care must be carefully monitored. You have to advocate for yourself. Good doctors typically understand when you have good reasons for declining certain treatment. It’s just learning those reasons where it gets tricky. There are many resources. KZbin one of is the best. As far as the meds during the incident; a mix of Provigil, 7 days off Klonopin, & 3 days on Zoloft.

I lived in a small town and worked in a bigger city about 30 miles away. At work I met a guy who lived in my town but as part of his prole he was not allowed to drive. He was getting a ride to work, but it was really inconvenient for the person driving him so as we worked at the same place I offered to take him back and forth if he could get onto my shift. As it happened we talked to the bosses and they needed a welder on the night shift, so I ended up going onto his shift (I prefer working nights anyway. I knew the guy had been in prison and was on parole meaning he had to maintain certain conditions to meet his parole requirements, such as he had to remain employed. I don't think he had any skills, he was a general laborer in the shop I was working at. He worked hard and was liked at the shop, but the police (especially the local small town cops) constantly harassed him, and now they associated me with him, they started harassing me as well.. We got pulled over about 60% of the times he was with me, and I'm pretty sure the only reason we were not pulled over every time was became no cops saw us. No matter how careful I was about infractions I'd still get pulled over. It was so frustrating. I would have liked to have known what he did, but he never told me, and I thought it would be rude to ask. If he wanted me to know he would have said. But the harassment he received from the police helped me to see why people go back so often.

In the 1970s, Dem states in particular in the US actually had a lot of prison programs, job training, education/classes, therapy, more lax conditions including just being there at night, etc to “rehabilitate people.” Then, someone did a study to show how much less likely the prisoners who went through rehab were to commit another crime, and it found….it didn’t help at all - the return to prison rate was the same in prisons with or without big rehabilitation programs. The problem with rehabilitation is….there is no program that consistently shows a measurable benefit, despite many tries. If it did show it saved money by reducing return to prison rates or lowered crime, it would be used more - but life is messy and much more complex than “evil corporations.”

You never have to join a gang. If you choose to, then whatever happens because of it is completely on you. You always have the choice of growing a pair and not just throwing away everything you believe in just because you're scared, or someone threatens you. I guess it all comes down to asking yourself one simple question. Would you rather die a man(or woman), or survive as a coward? Work on learning to defend yourself if you have the chance before anything goes down. Even if you don't have any time for that though, I'd still always recommend you don't go the way of the coward, it rarely ends well. You'd be better off sticking to your guns, for better or worse.
