FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) _ Two Fort Worth City Council members are calling for an investigation into a police raid at a gay bar in
which a man suffered a serious head injury.
Chad Gibson remains hospitalized with bleeding on the brain. His sister Kristy Morgan told Dallas-Fort Worth television station WFAA that Gibson, 26, isn’t violent.
Councilman Joel Burns says discrimination will not be tolerated. Councilwoman Kathleen Hicks says she’s disturbed by the raid that
sent at least one person to the hospital.
Hicks said she was “very concerned” after hearing from patrons and others in the community about what happened.
About half a dozen people were arrested during the raid at the Rainbow Lounge early Monday.
Fort Worth police said two intoxicated people at the bar made sexually explicit moves toward officers and a third grabbed a Texas
Alcoholic Beverage Commission agent’s groin.
About 100 people gathered in downtown Fort Worth last night to protest the raid.
