vice squads still tormenting LGBT bars? decades after Stonewall?

Last edited Tue Nov 26, 2019, 02:58 AM - Edit history (1)

This past Saturday, the NYPD Vice Squad was deployed into a Jackson Heights bar for a "routine check-in." One of these armed police officers donned a Trump lanyard.

As a result, a whole group in the Queens queer community was corralled and intimidated. We won't stand for this.
