"While I was changing into my work clothes, they asked where my phone was, they were very interested in it. Then they put me in the car, handcuffed me and demanded my phone password. I answered, "I forgot." Then they hit me with a stun gun, I had a spasm. I realized that it was useless to be a hero, they would get the password at any cost, that's what they came for."
