Reading the article is interesting. The police say that they handle all sectors of society equally, the people raided obviously do not feel tat to be true. Now we may discover, because the police will have to show equality of treatment, if that is the case. Or we might.

The Atlanta police have a history of abusing rights. From 3 years ago...
"Three undercover Atlanta police officers who kicked in the door of an elderly Atlanta woman to serve a no-knock search warrant for drugs were shot and wounded when the woman opened fire on the intruders. They returned fire, killing 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston inside her home."

Seems the officers lied to get the warrant, no drugs were found. Several officers went to jail.

No, Timmy, the point the people raided are trying to make is that, treated equally or not, their civil rights were violated. The police certainly have the right to raid a bar, however, unless they have reason to suspect that an individual has violated the law they do not have the right to search or detain that individual. The police treated ALL the bar patrons as suspects without cause. That is what the lawsuit is about.
