warning for rage inducing content
Gays, lesbians rally in Fort Worth over bar raid.

Police say 7 arrested for public intoxication; one man remains hospitalized with brain injury incurred during incident.

Between 150 and 200 people gathered on the steps of the Tarrant County Courthouse Sunday, June 28 — the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion — to protest a police raid on a Fort Worth gay bar, The Rainbow Lounge, at about 1 a.m. that day. Gay Fort Worth City Councilmember Joel Burns told the protesters he has called on Police Chief Jeffrey Halstead to conduct a thorough investigation into allegations of harassment and police brutality against bar patrons during the raid. One man remains hospitalized with a brain injury after, witnesses said, several officers threw him to the ground while arresting him.

I keep trying to find something else to add, but I'm too horrified. 40 years and this is still happening.
