Police Report:
She struggled off the bus and all the way to the police car. After we got her in the police car she kicked and scratched me on the hand, also kicked me in the stomach.

Claudette's Account:
I went limp as a baby—I was too smart to fight back. They started dragging me backwards off the bus. One of them kicked me. I might have scratched one of them because I had long nails, but I sure didn't fight back.
