My question involves criminal law for the state of: Minnesota. I went to a store and shoplifted an item under sixty dollars. After exiting the building I was tackled to the ground without warning. I was punched a couple of times in my stomach and even a bite in the arm. I ended up getting to my car where I realized it was the workers from the store. I tried to get into my car as they were punching me and kicking me. One of the workers threw my glasses and keys. I ended up running to get my glasses. I was chased and circled back to my car where I got in and locked the door. One of the men showed me my keys and tried to break my car key in front of me. The same man said I was a stupid bitch and he was going to put me on Facebook and took pictures of me with his phone. Another man was leaning over my sun roof yelling obscenities. Finally,the police arrived and gave me a ticket of misdemeanor shoplifting and let me go. My right arm is covered with bruises and my right side. My left arm is scrapped up and I think my right shoulder has tendon injuries. I am not sure what to do since it happened. I just think the stores employees went way beyond the law for a citizens arrest. Am I right? What should I do? Were they within their rights or do I have action for a lawsuit or denial of the misdemeanor charge. They also grabbed my purse and looked in it. I thought citizen's arrest were only for felonies or obvious public crimes in Minnesota. They didn't announce who they were before I was tackled, hit, and bit. I'm confused, embarrassed, and sore.
