Where the women are ugly, and the sheep are scared.

Perhaps F-town, short for Fascist Town would be a more appropriate handle.

Probably uncalled for?

Are you retarded? The man was hospitalized for bleeding into his brain. Would you 90 year old granny have done that to the “drunken homo” you bigoted bastard?

From recent news and comment it sounds like Ft Worth may be following up on this. Hopefully that will actually be the case.

The idea of having police go into bars looking for drunks at 1 AM also sounds pretty stupid. If you can’t get drunk in a bar…?

Frankly the only way I take the word of a police officer is if there is video evidence to back up what he says. Otherwise I’ll take the word of bystanders any day.

This incident illustrates that Texas is only 40 years behind civilized opinion, not 100 as we had believed.

Those imbecile cops get all whipped up at the dingaling megachurches they attend.

Folks, lets not denigrate an entire Police Department, an entire city, or an entire state. Does Texas have its baggage? Yes, but other states do as well. Do cops have a bad reputation? Yes, but not all of them believe in vigilante justice.

I think denigrating the whole department is appropriate in this case. There is no reason for them to go into these bars unless they are called by the owners or the police suspect sales of liquor to minors or public sex acts. These type of raids haven’t been done in most major cities since the 1970’s. The purpose of the raid was to hassle the patrons and the excuse of intoxicated patrons was merely a pretense for the police to make a raid at midnight. This shows that the raid was well planned rather than a spontaneous event.

Invite your readers to contribute any pertinent information about these persons in the Police Department and any previous homophobic actions and statements.

I would bet my bottom dollar that the cops who directed these raids are repiggie evangelicals. Their “religious” bigotry is at the heart of these raids.

Evangelicalism is the fastest growing mental illness in this nation.

However, I’m guessing someone at the shift briefing at the police station did not hand out assignments to go beat the crap out of some gay men and women in retaliation for the double sins of being gay and having pride.

They don’t have to. It is is implied by tone of voice when giving out assignments and when talking to other officers. I’ll bet my next paycheck that there were more than a few comments about faggots or a few catcalls when the assignment was announced. I know enough cops to know that happens all too often.

I do believe that officers assaulting individuals because they feel threatnened . . . . sexually — is still a crime in Texas, and fellow officers should step over that storied blue line in cases such as these.

In their mind the people they arrested and beat are “just faggots” what do they care. The commanders of the Fort Worth police are not going to put their “manhood” at risk by disciplining these cops. That would make them look like “pansy liberals” and they wouldn’t want that.

Maybe if there is a large enough civil rights lawsuit then maybe there might be a slap on the wrist, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything more. If anything, they have probably already been told what a great job they did in putting those flaming queers in their place.

However, I’m guessing someone at the shift briefing at the police station did not hand out assignments to go beat the crap out of some gay men and women in retaliation for the double sins of being gay and having pride. Now, if there’s no discipline handed down to these officers, that’s another story. I do believe that officers assaulting individuals because they feel threatnened . . . . sexually — is still a crime in Texas, and fellow officers should step over that storied blue line in cases such as these.

Folks, lets not denigrate an entire Police Department, an entire city, or an entire state.

And until the police departments prevent these type of events from happening (this could not have been just a few rogue cops, this was a planned event), and individual police officers denounce these types of actions, then the entire police force should be branded as red neck bigots.

Anything less is just an excuse for bad behavior.

Too much is dreadfully wrong with policing in this country. Any adult should be reasonably expected to resolve most conflict without resorting to violence. Violations of policy and etiquette are being treated as if they were crimes that threaten the very fabric of society. And still it is incredibly difficult to convict a serial rapist.

BULLSH!T! It’s that Dicky-Twatwaffle geistegeshicte (sp?) that reached full pitch under the Bush Administration. The inmates really believe that they’re running the asylum. ENOUGH! with this 18% and their pernicious influence in all the institutions that shape our society. These people need professional help, so that the people who are Being Properly Mortified can stop wasting their time with anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and sedatives.

Police use violence to raid a Democratic Congressional candidate’s fundraiser being held by a gay couple.

Democratic Congressional candidate’s fundraising event being raided by a whole squad from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department — including pepper-spray and a
helicopter!
The fundraiser was hosted by a lesbian couple, and shortly before the sheriffs came a particular neighbor had shouted anti-gay slurs at the assembled crowd. “It was a quiet home reception, disrupted by a vulgar person shouting obscenities from behind the bushes,” Busby says.The fundraiser was hosted by a lesbian couple, and shortly before the sheriffs came a particular neighbor had shouted anti-gay slurs at the assembled crowd. “It was a quiet home reception, disrupted by a vulgar person shouting obscenities from behind the bushes,” Busby says.
