My question involves police conduct in the State of: Oregon. I was at a country music festival recently. My husband's national guard unit provides security every year for the event. It is all very orderly, it is very large, lots of room. I was standing in an aisle, and one elderly woman (65) 3 seats down became agitated that I was standing on the end. The seats are first come first serve basis, so it is not like she paid more to be sitting where she was. She went to stand up and leave to let someone know I was "Bothering her" Because I was singing and taking pictures, both which were allowed. There was plenty of room for her to walk by, but she shoved me. I fell to the ground and cut my hand. I found my husband and let him know and he had some of his soldiers remove her. The police were called out, but the police would not let me file charges. Even though someone "accidently" recorded the incident, the police would not look because no recording was allowed at the concert. It was not a crazy wild event. It is a nice evening listening to country music. Her husband vouched for her and said she did not push me, but beside a random recording, I had no witnesses, (but I had 9 soldiers there vouching my creditability to officers). Everyone was too busy looking at Luke Bryan on stage. The police dismissed me and said they "had real crime to deal with" Was I in the right? Should I have been allowed to press charges?
