I was attending my brothers graduation. The night this happen it was raining and cold. My buddy left his jacket in the car so I put the jacket on, not thinking that this was a fraternity jacket and that this jacket would cause me to be threatened. After the ceremony was over my family and I was approached by three officers asking if I was apart of the fraternity(Q Dawg)I believe is the fraternity. After I told them no, one of the police officer went irate demanding and telling me that I better take the jacket off or he will take it off for me, also if I go outside this door with the jacket on that he will have his Q dawg waiting on me outside. The one Officer was so irate that he had to be taken out of the building. There were other officers and high ranking officers in the building and no one said anything just standing there in disbelief that this was going on. I made a police report and nothing was done to the officer. I feel this is not right, I feared for my life with 3 men with guns who was suppose to be protecting me but yet threatened by them only because I wore a jacket because I was cold.

If you know where the police officer works I would file a complaint with Internal Affairs at his department. For example if he was a state police officer file the complaint with internal affairs of the state police. If he was a city police officer file the complaint with the internal affairs with the city police department.

Why is everyone so sue happy these days? Now, if you HAD gotten injured you could sue. Now, just being "afraid" is not enough.

[LadySam]

Why sue? I would likely file a complaint so that his superiors are aware of his actions toward you. In the end there was no physical injury.
Unprofessional? Yes.
Overstepping his bounds? Yes
But sue worthy? I don't think so.
I do feel he was wrong to use his position to intimidate. That needs to noted.
I am not a law expert, this is merely a opinion.

It sounds more like a "gang jacket" than a faternity jacket. Did not see you using any of the Greek words that should be there.

If this was indeed a "gang" term it may well be against the rules of the school to allow them on their property.

You need to first know what type of jacket you were wearing.

[twinkiedooter]

Yes, why would the "Buddy" leave the jacket in the car? And you decided to just wear it without looking at it closely? The cops WERE doing their duty not knowing if you were the owner of the jacket or not.
