Off-duty gay cop is gay-bashed
Police in Austin, Texas, are investigating the assault of an off-duty police officer in the downtown Warehouse District, saying the attack appears to be a gay-bashing. The officer, Dewayne Friar, 38, received broken teeth, puncture wounds on his lower lip and was knocked unconscious. Friar and his partner and a friend had been at a car show and Friar was riding in the passenger seat of an Isuzu Rodeo with a rainbow sticker. At a stop sign two pedestrians blocked the street and refused to move, then six to eight men rushed the vehicle pounding the sides, windows and hood. One opened the passenger door, struck Friar in the face, dragged him out of the car and yelled "faggot" and other terms. Four men have been arrested. Austin American-Statesman
