Roger Wright was 19 years old when he stepped outside his house to make a quick run to the grocery store in October 2004. Outside the store, his life was changed forever.

Wright was suddenly grabbed by Seattle Police Department (SPD) officers and, he told Real Change, choked unconscious, handcuffed and, he says, kidnapped. The next thing Wright remembers is being tasered by police, naked on a freeway onramp at night.
