Something of an update on the TABC Stonewall-style raid of the Rainbow Lounge I didn’t get chance to post this last week while I was upgrading servers, but I wanted to make sure to get this up.
Ever since Chad Gibson was injured and others arrested in a raid at the gay bar, one of the biggest questions for many was why did officers target the Rainbow Lounge in the first place?
According to police records, a cruiser video showed a man arrested for public intoxication two days before the controversial raid. In a police report, officers said they saw the man leave the lounge very intoxicated earlier in the evening and told him to get a ride.
Obviously, this doesn’t address the behavior of the TABC agents, but it is another piece of information. Also,
this information preceded the TABC head’s apology.
