“Gay-Bashed By Police”

This segment features civil rights attorney Dana Kurtz. She represents 3 women attacked and brutally beaten by an off-duty police officer. This hate crime occurred after the gay pride parade on June 24, 2007. In a fit of road rage, a Chicago cop gay-bashed the women on I-55 just before the Damen exit. The assault has been covered up by the state police and a civil lawsuit is pending.
