I would like to see some accountability now, some real justice. This should not have happened in the first place, now it's time to fix it with more than words and apologies.

Her rights were never read, and no breathalizer performed. One of her best friends Chad is in intensive care. I too am a lesbian and have been with Casey's sister for almost 7 years, we have a 3 year old son. Our family will NOT stand by and allow this behaviour to go unpunished! You must stand strong and insure that justice is served. I lived in Los Angeles for the Rodney King riots. Rouge Police behaviour and brutality towards ANYONE is UNACCEPTABLE!! TABC must also be included in this catagory. Harrassment in the name of SAFETY is ridiculous! Thank you in advance for your support and we pray you will do the right thing!

What are the odds of that? Can't two people involved say their own thoughts or write their own releases?
