Texas is awful; I could never understand why the military detonated nuclear bombs in Nevada when Texas is so much larger with wide-open spaces unrivaled except for the cranial spaces found among the inhabitants. I think of Texas and I see, well, nothing very good.

Now I understand. The officers were upset that no one grabbed them in the groin. Damn SS men.

They wouldn’t be the first neurotically insecure homophobic police officers with anger issues (no doubt due to smaller than desirable penis size). So many of them are so brave when they have guns and are in a group, without the guns and alone, not so brave.

As A physician I have heard numerous stories of the police abuse in Cleveland Ohio I know that my stories were from 20 to 30 years ago when AI worked in an ER However I can NEVER forget them!!. I documented what every patient had to say on my charts. However years later I do belive that most were probaly true, although somehow those arrested probaly had reason to be placed in cuffs, but nobody needed to be abused and assaulted. Yes I mean literally BEATEN I believe that POLICE are unusually cruel and sadistic and at most times not accountable for their actions. I say this to contradict what some will say, that these folks deserved it I would counter that the folks who were beat DID NOT DESERVE IT Start looking at you police force with a discernig eye. YOU COULD BE THEIR NEXT VICTIM!!! Please believe in peace!! Please scrutize and complain and if need be SUE if your police are CRUEL!!! Stop the CRUELTY!!

The victims of this homophobic police attack should sue the living devil out of the Fort Worth Police Dept. and ensure that all of the lying Police and ABC officers involved get fired.

There is a systemic problem in the United States with police agencies regarding the level of violence used against citizens who are by and large law abiding, productive and tax paying. A bad attitude or some confrontational words should not end up with your head being slammed into a concrete wall or a seventy year old granny being tasered half a dozen times because she doesn’t want to sign the speeding ticket. But this government wants us to obey at all times, immediately and without resistance. Good passive resistance is keeping your mouth shut and going about your business when it safe to do so. When dealing with an officer of the law it is best to comply, cut your loses and the potential for bodily harm.. If your rights are violated, present this evidence later in court. The time to fight for your rights is not when dealing with an officer. The time to fight for your rights is in court. Dealing with America for what it truly is, rather than what we have been taught that it is or what we think it should be is a far more prudent course of action that will see you with less court dates and fines and all of your teeth intact.

CYA. Cover Your A** by lying and blaming the victim to protect their own reputations. Do we think there will be a full and unbiased investigation in a Texan city. HAH! Think again. Good ole boy system! The police especially down there will be believed any day over a gay man’s word!
