Forth Worth, TX gay bar raided? Sketchy info swirls on police arresting patrons

''My group and I were sitting on the back patio at a picnic table. Nobody was being wild out there. [The police] came through with flashlights, being loud asking what was going on out here, then asked why everyone was all the sudden being quiet. When one group started up their conversations again, they took one guy away.'' -- Todd Camp

''They asked the guy if he had been drinking, and he said some, and they snidely replied, 'Well, we'll see how much!' and plastic handcuffed him as they read him his rights... After this, we saw the policemen go into the men's restroom, pull out at least two guys from handcuffs from there, and pull one onto the ground before forcefully removing him.'' -- Kayla Lane

A couple of quotes posted at the Dallas Voice website about an alleged raid by State Police on a gay bar called The Rainbow Lounge in Fort Worth, TX on June 28, which coincidentally (or not) was the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Some photos have been posted as well. (Dallas Voice)
