Mostly unrelated to your post, but rollergirl relevant - any chance you have any information on the rollergirl purportedly beaten to a bloody pulp by police officers in Deep Ellum this Friday? I came across pictures of the incident here:

I then found your blog while googling to see if I could find out anything else. There doesn't seem to be any press on this, and I'm still unclear on exactly what happened, except there does appear to be excessive force and there's sure as hell a lot of blood on the girl's face. Seems like something the press ought to be hopping on, neh?
It's not really clear what happened, but this is what I've heard so far...
Muff Thumper from Assassination City was skating down the street handing out flyers. A cop pulled her over to give her a ticket. A crowd stared to gather and more police were called in. What I hear is that she got distracted and took her hands off of the police car. The cop got pissed, she got an attitude...
She had to get stiches and spent the day in jail, but other than that, she seems to be ok.
The incident was totally senseless and unnecessary, there were plenty of witnesses, and there most likely will be legal action taken. (Rollergirls from across the country are already talking about a legal fund.)
