Those Texas Agents F**ked up the "Bar Check" at the Rainbow Lounge

Remember when those agents and Fort Worth police officers stormed in the Rainbow Lounge for a routine "bar check", leaving Chad Gibson seriously injured?

Well, now we know those Texas Rangers wanabees violated agency policies and will face some disciplinary action .

The 32-page TABC document reports this interesting info:

Agents Christopher Aller and Jason Chapman violated TABC policy because they participated in the operation without approval, failed to follow bar inspection procedures, failed to report using force against patrons, and failed to report a patron was injured, among other reasons.

The agents’ supervisor, Sgt. Terry Parsons, who was not at the Rainbow Lounge and did not approve the operation, is also charged with violations.

Disciplinary actions, which could range from a verbal warning to termination, are pending against the agents.

See, pure mess. Serve them right for violating the law while acting as the law.

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.
