"Police harassment of gay people"

Stan Chambers interviews Ramona Ripston of the ACLU about reports of harassment by police officers against gay individuals due to their sexual orientation. The ACLU is distributing forms to help them investigate, and if the evidence backs up their belief of widespread harassment they will make a presentation to the Police Commission. She also talks about the resignation of Chief Davis who openly stated he did not want gay people in the police department, how that ideology has filtered down through the department and that it will take time and effort to bring about changes.
