Fort Worth's Stockyards are, for me, the best part of Fort Worth. I always enjoy going there. I've only been to the Stockyards a couple times when the night life wakes up. It can be a bit of a raucous place.I totally understand the need for security and a police presence.
But it seems the Fort Worth police may be going a bit overboard, judging from surveillance camera video that has been YouTubed showing what would appear to be a ridiculous number of police harassing people going to the Neon Moon Saloon and La Rumba. These are located directly across from Billy Bob's. Billy Bob's is the world's biggest honkytonk.
During these police incursions no arrests are made. So, if no one is doing any arrest worthy deeds, what's with all the police descending on these places?
Watch the video below and see what you think. Go to YouTube, here, and you can see many more surveillance footage tapes showing the same type thing....
The Stockyards are a wonderful place.. However, the violence at La Rumba is staggering... There's a reason the police go in there in numbers.. Has anyone stopped to ask the question why the Officers were there in the 1st place?? I would check 911 records & the club's violent history before throwing stones based on a video clip..
ReplyDeleteThere are at least a dozen YouTube surveillance videos showing the FW Police arriving in large numbers at the New Moon and La Rumba. You see no arrests being made or officers leaving with someone in handcuffs. I've not read anything in the FW Star-Telegram about staggering violence at La Rumba. Or La Rumba's violent history. It hasn't been open all that long. It takes awhile to have a history...
