Masked men force 35 strip club patrons to the floor at gunpoint

[rambone]

This two-hour ordeal took place in New Haven, Connecticut. DEA teamed up with local police to execute a raid on a local strip club. They wore masks and used a battering ram to break down the door. One arrest was made, and it wasn't even the person they were looking for.

So, how would it sit with you, if you were there? If you were sitting there minding your own business, and the next thing you know you are laying on the floor, handcuffed with rifles pointed at you, detained for the next two hours?

Gotta get them illegal plants... no sacrifice is too much.

If that two hour detainment was followed by an unlimited free pass to the strip club courtesy of the police department... that might just be ok.

I'd think it was a bachelor party prank gone horribly wrong.

you know the cops just didn't want to pay the cover charge

Just make sure you have the presence of mind to tell the difference between a drug raid and armed robbery. Strip clubs have LOADS of loose cash floating around in them. Your senses need to be sharp.

If you defend yourself from the wrong guys, you will be in deep.
If you flinch and don't react during a real robbery, you will be dead.

Hey, at least it wasn't one of those "8 month" investigations on massage parlors where the cop gets a handy. If you are ashamed of what you are doing, your conscience will dictate that you cover your face.

Absolutely disgusting...

 

[sepe]

As much meth that runs through strip clubs I'm kind of surprised there aren't more raids.

 

[Ricnzak]

Parts of it don't sound to bad rearranged. Laying down handcuffed to some strippers for two hours. Oh yeah!

Sorry, I don't get out much.

"handcuffed, naked strippers".... wow... hold on, I will be back in a couple minutes....

 

[localone]

Try explaining this one to the wife

use to always be IPD cops that hung out in the back hallway of the red garter and flirted with the girls etc, every night as they came down stairs. I guess its against their policy for a indy cop to enter those kind of establishments on duty without being on official business. and there wasn't anything official about those guys business either.

The sheer amount of cash it took to "stage" this raid is staggering. Think of it! We are flipping the bill for this nonsense!

Isn't it worth it if we can temporarily stop one junkie from poisoning himself??

Wasn't there some sort of bribery scandal involving one of Brad's clubs?

I think you'd have to shoot me to get me to lay on the floor at a strip club.

Or.....

"handcuffed, naked strippers".... wow... hold on, I will be back in a couple minutes....

I'd ask if I could lay on my side until the boner goes down. It's a strip club for crying out loud.
