"Six Atlanta police officers were fired yesterday for lying about what happened during the 2009 raid on the Atlanta Eagle. Nine other officers were also disciplined, with three more hearings scheduled for next week."

An independent review of the raid found the following:

"....10 members of the vice unit and the RED DOG team, including three supervisors, violated APD’s policy regarding truthfulness. Most law enforcement agencies consider lying a firing offense, partly because that officer’s credibility can be challenged in court.

The report also found 24 officers illegally searched patrons, illegally detained them and illegally took their belongings, including cellphones and wallets."

I imagine their livelihoods will be safe, though. They'll end up as bouncers outside heterosexual bars. Or maybe they'll be hired to work for the Bachman reparative therapy clinic where gays are barbarians who simply have to be disciplined... http://tinyurl.com/3dlgwko

Wonder why all 10 who lied were not fired. Maybe I should read the article more closely.
