I just found an article about a police raid on a gay bar in Fort Worth, TX. According to the police, the gay men in the bar were "groping them" provoking them to tackle a 26-year-old gay man, giving him a concussion and leaving him in critical condition. Four or five policemen tackled a 160lb 26yo gay man which made me wonder: How many police officers does it take to dog pile a gay man? Answer: The more the merrier!
My only gripe about the article is that, while I don't condone what happened by ANY stretch of the imagination, I do feel that the police chief was misquoted. Nowhere in any linked articles did I find any indication that he said "That faggot had it coming". That sentiment may have been implied from what he actually did say:
"You're touched and advanced in certain ways by people inside the bar, that's offensive," he said. "I'm happy with the restraint used when they were contacted like that."
I don't feel, however, that an implication deserves to be included in the title of a news article.
