Hello
I believe that I was a victim of bias policing by the dhs police and I was going to file a civil claim. I was curious on what would be a reasonable damage to sue for. I would like to sue for the maximum as a moral ideology to teach the officers that there is consequences for there actions so I was curious what everyone else thinks is the reasonable action. Below I will give a brief explanation of my case as well as evidence.
So I had been being harrased by a racist black individual. Evidence of the individual being racist were made when he advised another black individual who I was having a conversation with that I was a racist despite race never being brought up before. The individual had made threats multiple times and had approached me on multiple different occasions Including following me on the bus at several points. I had made multiple complaints and the police did nothing. He is in violation of the harrasment in the second degree one day I had had enough and demanded that the police take action I read up on the law and had a sergeant read the law and he did nothing it was at this time that another racist Latino (I'm latino by the way but many latinos in NYC have a bias on what latinos are supposed to look like) who was seeking entrance into the shelter began harrasing me I was talking with another shelter resident and the individual demanded that I stop talking and approached me multiple times. Eventually i had enough and asked why he is bothering me I'm just a Taino talking with someone he made it very clear that I am not Taino and threatened to assault me. This all happened infront of the officers who responded by stating that i'm the problem. The individual got up and approached me and reached in his pants the police intervened and arrested me which I believe was because if he cut me or shot me they would be in big trouble because they are supposed to make sure that weapons are not brought into the shelter. They arrested me and in the process broke a laptop in my backpack when they threw it on the floor the laptop totals 300$. Also they admitted me into a mental hospital but I was immediately discharged because they couldn't give the staff a reason. Because the time I was in the hospital was around bed signing I lost my bed and was forced to walk the street for 8 hours and I wasn't able to sleep for 48 hours. I returned after walking the streets and was admitted to the hospital a second time by the same sgt because his subordinate told him I was harrasing staff for voicing my opinion of how I was being treated. The last day I was at the shelter that same subordinate tried to do the same thing again because I was standing in front of the staff counter but left me alone after one of the staff said I was okay.
So basically I was sueing for the
300$ Laptop
And emotional distress from feeling unsafe, being kept awake for 48 hours, and fearing that If I talk with shelter staff or say anything bad about them I may be admitted into a psych ward. What do you think would be a proper price for this emotional distress
