Police Foolishness in Texas

Sorry to be late about this horrible story.

Please watch





Here's more
Both the police and the TABC have announced internal investigations.

About 100 supporters of Gibson gathered for a vigil in front of the bar on Jennings Avenue on Wednesday. Gibson's father, Donald Gibson, was there. He said his son is still in the hospital and doing better, but the effects will linger.

"The doctor told him today he'd have headaches for two years," he said.

The timing of Sunday's inspection couldn't have been more imperfect, said Meador.

It came on the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York, where patrons at a gay club clashed with police. That incident is generally believed to have given birth to the gay-rights movement.

"It's like that whole episode redone," said Meador, who was at the vigil. "A lot of people are going to look at it that way because we've worked so hard to make everything equal."

Police have said they did not target the club and that others were also inspected.

Witnesses said officers wrestled Gibson to the ground, causing him to hit his head on the wall. Police said paramedics treated Gibson for alcohol poisoning at the scene. He was later taken to John Peter Smith Hospital.


I wish Chad well and a speed recovery.
