Has Mr. Gibson shown any interest in a lawsuit? And/or is this possible…a civil suit against the Ft. Worth Police Department?

Read the Ft. Worth Star Telegram article and then the comments. The venom against our community is very clear. It has always been there but it really stings to see it in print. Will the hate crimes law now on the books really matter? Does anyone think the Justice Department review of this case will change anything. How long did it take to reform the LAPD Rampart Division? Expect more of the same.

The report on “Use of Force” from TABC was supposed to be published yesterday. I haven’t seen any info yet. You might want to scan the “Dallas Voice” for updates.

Of course they are.

Fu**ing disgusting.

Then, our government reinforces that we are less than human, so this kind of stuff is to be expected.

we we said before, we are hardly surprised because we knew they were going to do this all along.

Bring in the ACLU to teach those bastards how it is supposed to be done.

I find the statement that negative media attention “could have been adverted had Officer Gober completed the required offense report with the true and accurate details of events that occurred during the Rainbow Lounge bar check” quite telling. This is one part of the report, at least, that I agree with, although I think it misses the real point, which is that “negative media attention” could have been averted if (1) officers had behaved in a responsible, professional manner and (2) they weren’t continuing to try and justify up their irresponsible, unprofessional behavior by blaming the victims.
