Mom Speaks Out - Victim of Violent Police Raid in Hospital With Brain Injury

[lumeriam]

I am a grand-mom and NO CRIMINAL and I AM DISGUSTED! I know your job sucks so QUIT and go get anger management!

[Missytrilakes]

Fort Worth needs it's ass sued the fuck off for zillions. They need civil rights attorneys from the north to go down there and fuck some red neck pigs up. The KKK is falling apart and now they've joined the police dept. The cops are just fucken liars and the world know s it.

[rubick79]

a gay man touches you and because you are in a position of authority you have the right to strong arm them into submission? Fucking rednecks.

[RedBlackFreedom]

cops are professional terrorists used to protect the system not the people.

A.C.A.B.

(A)

[tom30231]

how public intoxication, they were in bar?

[pencilsharpenner42]

The police say they were Groped.Such it up.If that is true.I don't believe they groped those officers.

[bEEarCUB]

I don't believe them either. Who shows up with THAT many officers (with zip ties in hand) during a buisy period to check a liquor license anyway???

[MikeRoch6969]

typical biggoted, gun-ho rednecks.......err i mean: police keeping our children safe..

also, they claim gay sexual advances?

like thats true, but if it is........ well... when you walk into a gay bar looking like you own the place. wearing a police uniform and brandishing a set of cuffs...what do you expect people to think?

[Ymgnawdoliad]

NEVER trust cops! They're lying, self-serving hypocrites who'll do anything to perpetuate the myth that they're "heroes" of a community.

[ghostround]

Not that we're making generalizations or anything...

[jophus82]

Michael Moore's next movie after the wall-street film, gay discrimination? Please let it be.....

[sgsfdgfsdfsdfsddf]

nothing will happen to the cops... thats what cops can do

[cabree76]

horrible, those officers and their chief should be held on charges, this is america, these people weren't accused of anything, public intoxication, in a bar, what a bullshit charge. these cops set this up thinking they could get away with it. i hope to see some kinda of justice for the harm they have done.

[dattexas]

pigs

[fwmanhere]

You guys sound like that it would never happen. You thinks it's unthinkable that a drunk homosexual would NEVER EVER make an innocent sexual advance towards an officer in uniform. Well wake the fuck up! YES people are that fucking stupid who cares if he's gay or not. Stupid is Stupid gay or not gay.

[volleyboi1]

This guy would not do that! I know him well.

[cerrone]

The conduct of the Fort Worth police is disgusting. This happening in 2009 is ridiculous.

And the dude wanting this to not be connected to someone being gay? What an idiot... what other motive could it be?

[spacecraft999]

Just today Mayor Moncreif has asked for an external investigation of FWPD. Let's see what happens.

[depfox]

shame on you fort worth your chief of police is an idiot

[omyda365]

God, it's cops like these that undermine the effort of policemen and women who DON'T hide behind their badges to vent their anger or prejudices on the public but actually try to just do their jobs. It takes hard work to earn the respect of a community as a cop, considering the shenanigans of scum like these are what define you to most.

[nzalud2]

How can you be arrested for public intoxication in a bar?

[mcmilbc]

I was wondering the same thing? thats fucked up. As Ron White said "I was drunk in a bar, they threw me in public."

[nzalud2]

Lol  :)

[mrbriscoe2001]

Wow.The cops are guilty until proven innocent in this country.Who'd want to do that for a living?

[MrProPoker]

Well that's Texas for ya.What do you expect from a state that teaches Creation in Science class.

[SlowRealization]

Texas where men are men and livestock are nervous.

[dbulldog01]

Even if cops were touched in a certain way, that does not give them the right to use force by throwing and beating up innocent people. Thats called assault. I would hunt down whoever was in charge/involved and SUE THEIR ASSES!!

[Joe402]

Fuck Texas.

That's right I'm messing with it.

[Snark17]

So sad. I hope these police are charged for this assault.

[cryan71]

K-- now seeing what the victim looked like and what the officers looked like, the police are lying about "being touched inappropriately." No way would a good looking 26 year old man make a pass at some overweight troll of a cop. In their dreams maybe.

[firezemissailes]

What hideous bullshit. Let's hope that those cops and the supervisors that allowed this to happen get the sacking they deserve.

[MidnightChimes]

You want to see public intoxication go to any political fundraiser.

[Holebis]

So awfull : Just 40 years after police went in to the Stonewall inn was gone in by police, for barcheck (and more) and riots began for the first time by gays against the police !!!!!!!!!!

Does the police never learn ?

Holebis ♥♂♂,♀♀♥

[vfxbear]

This is ridiculous. First of all, the fact there is even a law that allows police to arrest people they "suspect" of public intoxication INSIDE of a bar (HELLO) is absurd. Certainly if a patron starts acting out and the bar calls the police then it should be handled. But to have them ENTER and arrest people is ludicrous. And there is no way in HELL a gay guy is going to grope an officer in a gay bar, let alone on the anniversary of stonewall! These policemen need to be severely reprimanded.

[hbfarker]

The police were not touched or advanced in a certain way. It didn't happen, and no one with any common sense believes it. The cops involved should be fired and put in jail. Anything less is unacceptable.

[RETIREMESOON]

" I ALL YOU HAVE IS A HAMMER THEN EVERYTHING STARTS TO LOOK LIKE A NAIL." The police in this case should ____NOT___have used FORCE as this was about a bar check not a violence or assult situation. I'm not standing up for the gay lifestyle I'm standing up for human rights.

[lgbttube4u]

It's not a lifestyle. A lifestyle is something you choose. We do not choose to be gay. No one would choose to be treated like this, not to have rights, to be mistreated and killed because of how you're born and who you love. Be politically correct, please.

[IG2HI]

Truth is not a form of political correctness. Personally, I hope Chad Gibson gets justice.

[RETIREMESOON]

Igbttube4u You are correct when you say "It's not a lifestyle.A lifestyle is something you choose." My appoligies to the gay community because I did not intend to offend anyone.

I mostly wanted the POLICE to know that gatuitous violence was NOT appropriate and futhermore I feel this was a HUMAN RIGHTS violation. Again my appoligies for being politically incorrect and offending the gay community

[lgbttube4u]

Thank you SO much. I appreciate your comments and feel that you are sincere. Please know that I value your opinion and understand your reasoning. Please be well and have a great evening and great coming days/years to you and your family.

[secure214]

When was the last time the FWPD did this in a Straight bar? Did they make multiple arrests?

Did they get violent?

They should go visit Billy Bobs, or any of the bars in Sundance Square on the weekend to see if there is anyone drunk in the bar!!!

FUCKING INSANE!!

[grahamkeithtodd]

Texas home of the most corrupt police force in the USA!

what a bunch of gits the whole damm lot of them!

[squwilf]

I live in Houston and I agree with you.

[cabree76]

This is bullshit. Those cops should be arrested, along with the chief for allowing crap like this. Raiding a bar. wtf. public intoxication in a bar. that is fucking stupid.

[norcal999]

its our damn fault-why the heck do we keep hiring police endlessly. Bored police force= encroachment  on peoples right to happiness

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

we all know that police phych tests are a joke....some of the worse people become cops...some of them are just criminals with badges.....with serious chips on thier shoulders.

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

and if some touched me and advanced in a certain wayby some one in a bar, thats offensive to me....and I reacted as the cops did...I would be in jail for assault...but because its cops its ok? is ludicrous....one rule for us another for police....who ploices the police?

[dinoballz]

A police office walks into a gaybar.

There would be something wrong if no one grabbed him.

1:30 he has a big mustache, I would think he's a stripper too, especially if he doesn't identify himself first, as according to the bartender, they usually do.

[bagelboi66]

Barbarians

[bbnemesis123]

This was PROBABLY the typical police raid to force owners to pay a mafia style protection money. You don't pay, then the police raid more often. This is typical in alot of cities. A buddy of mine started a bar in Atlanta. He didn't pay. The police stacked out the bar, and pulled over everyone who left the bar. It didn't take long. People stopped going to the bar. My buddy closed the place. You know... the police moto..."Extort then protect". Corruption in govt needs to stop.

[Estraven53]

Look up Equality Texas to see what you can do about the situation.

[Richardgwm]

Texas is hell on earth.

[KataVideo]

public intoxication.. in a BAR? how could that happen?

eff the fort worth police.

[PaulLeary]

It's 2009 this is UNACCEPTABLE -- wake up America! Equality TODAY!

[FresnoTimeLord]

This is why we need Hate Crime Laws..to protect Gays/Lesbians/Transgendered people!

[oppressedinjc]

The cops were looking for shakedown money.

[smeejay]

40 years after the Stonewall Riots and cops are still trying to extort the gays. We ARE the generation that can make this illegal activity a thing of the past. Do not be silent about this!

[IndiMusicLover]

Why do we let the cops do this to us America?

[ChemtrailsEire]

Wow raiding a Bar for Drunks??? WTF? American cops are just losing it bigtime! Fkn scary that is folks!

[hechosdcolon]

if someone touches me like tat theyll get their ass kicked

[soapstarj0e]

Do you really think anyone would grab a cop's crotch? This is just the typical gay panic defense used in hopes of stirring up homophobes to the cops' defense.

It's bullshit, and anyone who believes that that actually happened is an idiot.

[smeejay]

"He came on to me" is as cliche as "Adam and Steve". Sad. Predictable and sad.

[achampag]

why are these ppl acting as if sexual advances made the violence acceptable? speaks volumes of their self control eh?

[christopherawesome]

Charged with public intoxication... in a bar?!

[thatsmyrail]

Yeah wtf. Probably some homophobic brutal cops.

[druidgnome]

Fucking cops.

[cuddle2007]

wow this is really sad....there is no excuse for police brutatility to say the least most of them are some type of freaks anyway!! the city councilman did not come see me in the hospital...instead they put bogus charges on me.....this has got to stop!!!

[WolfArden44]

Ahhh "public intoxication?" It's in a BAR,people go to the bar to drink.Why raid a bar like that? So it's ok for cops to just go into any bar these days and slam people into concrete? FFS Cops drink in bars off duty.I find it hard to believe that the cops were felt in any manner.They were looking for a reason to be brutes.

[DisintersGroup]

those cops went in looking for trouble, shame

[nohealthcare62]

They showed very Little about this on the Ft Worth news ....thanks Mike ...

[bbbbmer]

GOD DAMN COPS!!!!

[mak1759]

Bar check my ass

[SiCoFgOvErNmEnT]

That sounds like classic HOMOPHOBIA TO ME! Fuck those cops LOSE THEIR JOBS NOW! This is wrong, and more, and more stories like these are coming out!!! WTF is going on w/our cops. I'd like to know, I understand their job is difficult, but they CANNOT BE GOING AROUND AND SERIOUSLY INJURING PEOPLE! We've had a couple in Seattle alone, one being just like this guy.. INNOCENT AND BEING FUCKED WITH! People like I am not going to put up with shit like this! They want be liked, quit fuckin our COMMUNITY

[Propagandhi900]

Cops don't lose their jobs for tazing elderly women or beating schizophrenic black guys.

No way in hell will they lose their job for this.

[SiCoFgOvErNmEnT]

Man that's a fucked up thing to say!!!!!

But you are sooo right!!!!!

[reza2468]

First comment!

No it's not a joke. I can't understand the stupidity. It's not making an elephant out od a fly. THERE IS NO FLY! Just leave them alone!

[moewahba35]

I am a candied cod
