Two for one day and a third for three days. Read the story for why they were suspended. In most cases, it was for turning in reports late and/or bringing bad publicity to the FWPD. Nevermind the kid that they damn near beat to death. http://cbs11tv.com/local/rainbow.lounge.bar.2.1294082.html They suspenmded three cops. Two for one day and a third for three days.

I'm not from Texas. I never want to be, and it's because of things like this. I can tell you this, though: I know what the politics are like in Dallas and some of its suburbs, and I know what the politics are like in Ft. Worth. They are setting themselves up for a nice, big, fu**ing riot. I lived in the DFW area for 6 years.

But the FBI may still be able to be made to get involved. I am betting that the provisions of that portion are retroactive. Good point, B. But the FBI may still be able to be made to get involved.

Too bad the Mathew Shepard act was passed after this incident, not before it. I think it shows why federal hate-crime laws are a good idea.

Worth is right next door to Dallas, the supposed new center of gay rights. Hell, you cant tell where Dallas and Fort Worth end unless you happen to notice the sign near TX-360 saying "Now entering Dallas County". What a farce. --- They shouldn't be fired, they should be thrown in fucking jail. And why a lawsuit hasn't been filed in this case is also fucking disgraceful. Ft.

(Young Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce tribe) When I hear or read a large number of words, many more than would be needed to speak the truth, I interpret that as indicating the lack of truth.
