Justice for the victims of the 2010 Vice Squad Club Bath raids.


Justice for the victims of the 2010 Vice Squad Club Bath raids.
The Issue
On Oct. 8, 2010, uniformed police broken into the The Club Dallas, a bathhouse on Swiss Avenue and arrested eleven men for supposed public indecency.
What were the consequences to the persons arrested isn’t known. When these individuals were arrested and I assume jailed and bailed how long did that take? Did they miss days of work? How did they explain that to their boss? Did they lose their jobs? Was the arrest expunged from their records, or for every job application, which usually has a question about arrests, that they did for the rest of their lives did they have to mention this arrest for lewdness? Did they have to leave Dallas? Did they end up unemployed? Did they end up homeless? What was their experience of this? Did any of them have to get divorced? Did any of them get expelled from their church? Did they lose friends? Did they end up living with angry homophobic relatives? Did they have trouble sleeping? Were their sex lives affected? How was it to worry for months that you might be sent for trial?
We don't know what happened to them, since it seems no one has cared.
We care and will be having a historical report link of the raid and what happened.

There is nothing now to prevent another raid in the future as the report will show. Unlike the justice given to the victims of the raid on the Rainbow Lounge in Fort Worth in 2009, there has been no justice in Dallas for the raid victims here.
We make the following demands of the City of Dallas.
1. An apology be issued by the City of Dallas Police Dept.
2. There be a full release of the records about the raid on The Club Dallas bathhouse, and the citizens complaints about The Club Dallas on Oct. 5, and Oct. 13.
3. Reparations for those arrested at The Club Dallas baths on Oct. 8, 2010.
4. A historical commission to investigate all raids on LGBT establishments by Dallas Police and to propose reparations.
5. Explicit policies to prevent raids in the future.
6. A human rights commission for Dallas with advisory boards for different groups including an LGBT advisory board.
Further we demand that the District Attorney for Dallas County make a full release of records of their involvement and the disposition of the cases. We further demand that the Texas Attorney General have a full release of records regarding this case.
We demand justice for the Swiss Avenue Eleven.
