The police involved haven’t been punished, either, just quietly shuffled to desk jobs (for the time being).

The victims need to get with the program and call Lambda Legal. NOW.

Just curious, if the police can arrest you for being drunk in a bar, which I assume is not a public place, can they arrest you in your home for the same reason? Do the Ft. Worth police ever arrest patrons of straight bars for public intoxication?

like i said on the federaljack.com website, the officer who said he was “groped” is probably still in the closet or is homophobic. this raid was bs and the police know it .nobody should be treated this way. i agree about the straight women comment, especially when i have wanted to kick their ass when they do that to my man, then i would have been the one to go to jail. i think all these cops and tabc were homophobes or in the closet, and wishing they could be out too.

I am ashamed of the Fort Worth Police department in their evil homophobic move. I am a gay law enforcement officer and I must say I am sorry for each and every patron who was abused at that bar. My suggestion to them is write down everything you remember and sue the hell out of the officers of the Fort Worth Police Department individually. They are clearly not upholding the oath they took to protect and serve those in their community. In any case, God will hand them their judgement as they handed us theirs.

To Timothy’s point, I have a question I’ll call “4a”: Do Texas police have a history of arresting women in straight bars who make “sexually explicit movements”?

I’m still looking for that press release but haven’t found it. If someone could help me out, I’m sure there’s one around there somewhere.
