If you’re going to report something, report it CORRECTLY . He hit ME first. And I was NOT there when officers arrived. I came BACK after they got there because my best friend ( isn’t mentioned ), was having a seizure & the other people there, didn’t know how to sit down somewhere. I went to get her help since the cops came like an hour later. You wouldn’t know though because YOU weren’t there. Report THAT. You don’t know what you’re even talking about.
