No arrests were made on sex or drug charges – only for dancing in underwear. But, according to several complainants lodged with the police, the cops enjoyed themselves:
• One man said officers grabbed patrons who didn't immediately lie down by the neck and forced them to the ground. The man said he was kicked in the ribs while lying down. "Then I heard laughing and giggling and
saying this is more fun than raiding niggers with crack.
They also told us to shut the fuck up unless we were spoken too [sic]." The man said he heard one person told that if he spoke again he would be hit by a chair. He also reported that one officer "said to everyone in general that all you all do is flash your asses and show your cocks."
• An Eagle employee said he did not know what he was charged with until he got to jail. "A lot of officers were laughing and high-fiving each other, and I heard one officer say I thought this was a sex club."
• Another patron described listening to officers chat about their cell phone plans as he lay on the ground. "I was forced down by physical force. They grabbed my neck and pushed me down. They put their boot on my back and told me to stay down. … If anyone asked anything they were told to 'shut the fuck up.'"
A boot on the back: a summary of some police attitudes toward homosexuals.
