A couple days ago the results were leaked of the police internal affairs investigation into the crimes committed by the Fort Worth Police, known locally, by many, as the Fort Worth Gestapo, during a raid on a newly opened Fort Worth gay bar called the Rainbow Lounge.The SS investigators concluded that the Fort Worth Gestapo did not use excessive force during what they characterize as an "inspection," but which Gestapo victims characterized as a brutal raid.
No officers will be fired. Some may be disciplined for infractions, such as not filing reports on time after the incident. But not for beating someone, Chad Gibson, so savagely that he had to be hospitalized due to a serious Gestapo inflicted head injury.
Protests erupted following the brutal Gestapo attack when the Gestapo's public statements were so at odds with what eye witnesses saw. When several of those witnesses proved to be highly credible, the Fort Worth Gestapo and city officials had to adjust the party line.
And now, months later, the powers that be must think they can get away with white washing the crimes committed by their Gestapo agents. So, far the tactic seems to be working. I have not heard of any protesting of the white washing of the Fort Worth Gestapo's crimes.
I do not know if Chad Gibson has recovered. Or if he is suing the City of Fort Worth.
Watch the YouTube video below of the immediate aftermath of the Gestapo raid and hear what eyewitnesses had to say ....

You know you have to feel sorry for the police force as well.
If the powers that be continue to allow this kind of behavior (i.e., police brutality), then the public will eventually lose respect for the police force.
When the public loses respect for the police force then "real" criminals will begin to have more leniency when it come to acts of violence against law enforcement.
Punishing the officers responsible for acts such as the ones committed at the Rainbow Lounge is good for all of us. It allows greater respect for the force as a whole.
