Two Steps Forward, One Giant Leap Back

Fort Worth cops raid a gay bar and put one customer in intensive care. Seven men were arrested. The police chief says that the violence of the cops was because - wait for it - the cops were hit on:

Yes, that’s right: 40 years after Stonewall and a bit more than 10 years after Matthew Shepard’s torture and murder we are still dealing with the “gay-panic defense” – even by the heavily armed police.

And, what’s worse is the ridiculous claims that gay patrons, even when confronted by guns, tasers, and pepper spray are so over-sexed that they’d actually try to cop a feel of an officer’s crotch during a raid.

Unbelievable.
