NBC report: No excessive force used by FWPD in Rainbow Lounge raid

November 4th, 2009

KXAS Channel 5, the local NBC affiliate, has posted a story on its Web site, citing unnamed Fort Worth city officials, saying that the Fort Worth Police Department’s investigation into the June 28 raid on the Rainbow Lounge found that officers did not use excessive force that night.

The sources also said that no officers will be fired over the incident although at least one may face some sort of disciplinary action.

Police Chief Jeffrey Halstead has scheduled a press conference to announce the results of the investigation tomorrow (Thursday) at 10 a.m. at the Rainbow Lounge.

TABC will also be releasing the findings in its investigation into its agents’ possible use of excessive force tomorrow morning.

    The Dallas Police Department has long been reputed to be one of the most corrupt law enforcement agencies nationwide. Officers break the law or act unbecomingly, they keep their jobs, get a pat on the back and they don’t even so much as get their hands slapped. Looks like Fort Worth now ranks right up there with Dallas.
