This happened earlier today. There was a call made during a personal dispute. No violence, no threats, no weapons. The cops showed up. I didn’t raise my voice, didn’t resist, didn’t do anything aggressive.
Even so, I got thrown to the ground, cuffed, and held there while they questioned me. I told them I had a bad shoulder before they touched me. That didn’t stop them. Now I can barely move my arm and I’m in a lot of pain. I was never arrested, just held for a few hours, then let go with no charges.
I rely on physical work for income and I’m worried this will screw that up. Is there any legal action I can take when there’s no arrest or charge, but I still got roughed up? Already going to file an internal complaint but not holding my breath.
Location: Texas.

Obviously the details of that are everything.

The realistic advice is you’re right. Don’t hold your breath.
