More Eagle Atlanta Patrons Speak Out on Raid
As other media outlets begin to cover this story–and thankfully, many our crediting APN for breaking it–other Eagle patrons are beginning to speak out about what they witnessed.
Nick Kopserki said the following on Creative Loafing Atlanta’s Fresh Loaf blog: “i was there with a friend. while on the floor i was reminded of stonewall. it felt like it wasn’t really happening, but sadly it was. all the cops said was “everybody get down on the floor, on your stomachs, this is a raid!” the were calling people names. it was ridiculous. it took forever to get out of there, after being frisked and having them check our IDs. it felt like living in the past. definitely not a fun night.”
Project Q Atlanta also quoted an anonymous source claiming harassment.
So far, I’ve heard from WABE, Fox, Channel 2, and Project Q. Southern Voice is also covering the story.
