For whatever reasons, though police targeting of gays could well be part of the problem, a Fort Worth Police Department and Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission inspection of the Rainbow Lounge, reportedly over concerns it was serving intoxicated patrons, turned into a full-blown raid, including a cracked skull for one patron.
And, the brutality of this raid, coming just before the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots? For the Fort Worth PD to still not have a PR clue so far is ridiculous.
The Fort Worth PD claims it’s not targeting anybody, just doing a job.
Dallas Voice has more.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
