Three Officers Suspended in Rainbow Lounge Raid
Nov 6th, 2009 | one responsePosted by OIA Staff in NewsThree Fort Worth police officers involved in the controversial raid of a gay bar were suspended Thursday for a total of five days – a punishment gay activists immediately decried as “wholly inadequate.” Fort Worth Police Chief Jeffrey Halstead announced he had suspended one officer and the sergeant who oversaw the raid at the Rainbow Lounge June 28 for one day. Another officer was suspended for three days. “Five days suspension is wholly inadequate for what happened,” said Jon Nelson, spokesman for Fairness Fort Worth, a group that formed after the raid. “What message does this send to the citizens of Fort Worth?”

Funny there isn’t any mention of whether or not the suspensions are with or without pay. Even if it is without pay, I’m sure that not only will their fat benefits continue, but that they will be given easy overtime or have part time off-duty to make up for any inconvenience resulting from their illegal and outrageous conduct.
