HPD and police brutality at Walters last night.

Last night (Fri. Oct 13), a single officer responded to a noise complaint about live music at Walter's on Washington. As opposed to following protocol and procedure used by all other officers responding top similar complaint at Walter's, this fucker decides to walk in, avoid managment, and get on stage and subsequently slam the guitar player on the stage, attack the drummer, and break a 90 upright bass (members of 'Two Gallant'.... As can be expected, the crowd rushed the stage and tried to break up the ensuing chaos. This officer responded by tasing several people including 14 yr old kids, pushing people around, etc. Once his backup arrived, 6 people were arrested including a 15 year old girl and others who were not involved. There is currently an effort to galvanise folks behind an effort to re-evaluate the current taser policy and put hpd's feet to the fire; along with the douchebag officer.
