"I want justice."

While pumping gas at the Shell Station in Fortuna, CA I was assaulted by a male. I recovered quickly and began to defend myself and the situation was de-escalated by an off-duty sheriff as he calmed me down. I began explaining that I was attacked by this man for no reason, but he said he couldn't do anything other than stop the fight. He handed me his card and told me to call the cops and make a report, all the while not bothering to question my attacker and ultimately letting him drive away. I am a Filipino American public safety worker and this happened while on duty and was captured on my truck’s camera. I want justice.
