Two years ago, there is a police action in Atlanta, they raided a gay bar, and cause turmoil at the night time, and arrested more than 20 patrons and service staffs in the bar. They use rude language to insult them and make them face down on the ground for an extended period of time, which violate the constitution. Such actions causes public protesting, and the metro police department promise to make further investigation into this matter. For 2 years, they now make an official apology to the public, and they dismissed the police sergeant who is in charge of this action recently. Overall, should we respect all people with their sexuality orientation? Such discrimination really violate the constitutional rights of people. Somehow, we should look into such matter, because we knew such actions might happen again.

Well, the police or anyone for that matter, should not discriminate against gay people, they are people to. We as humans all have the same rights. The police were totally wrong in this case. I know there is prejudice in the world and thats a shame. People should just be nice, because what goes around, comes around.

Hmmm, I have a hard time believing it was purely out of discrimination. Altanta has a hug Gay community with more bars and other entertainment places that cater to the GLBT. There are also a lot of gay cops, medics, fire fighters and other emergency workers who would be more than happy to speak out if they saw anything like this.
Not saying it didn't happen, but I'd look somewhere other than discrimination here.
