    A raid on a gay bar on the 40th anniversary of Stonewall, bogus sounding charges including such favorites as resisting arrest, and public intoxication (it is a bar!), and numerous claims of excessive force - methinks this is fully outrage worthy.

    That blows.
    The officers are jerks, they went looking for trouble so they could abuse their power.
    Also i don't think because men make sexual advances on you that means they are intoxicated. (article never confirms or denies the actual intoxication of the patrons)

    I hate this shit. It is why many people don't respect cops - some of them just abuse their power and bring their biases into their job. I wish someone had gotten video with their cellphone or something.

    Also, WTF - drunkenness in a bar = a crime.
