Major Jeff Glazier of the Atlanta Police Department speaks with Atlanta Eagle attorney Dan Grossman following a recent federal court hearing on the Atlanta Eagle raid. On May 5, Batten ordered the city to train its 2,000 officers on all these SOPs within 90 days that was to start immediately.

The attorneys who represent the Atlanta Eagle plaintiffs are Dan Grossman, Gerald Weber of the Southern Center for Human Rights, and Greg Nevins of Lambda Legal. However, these reforms have not taken place, even though the city was ordered to enact them by a federal judge in the original order in 2011 and again in 2013, according to a scathing motion for contempt that was filed March 17.

Mayor Kasim Reed also apologized to the plaintiffs, the court ruled the raid was unconstitutional, and the patrons said they wanted the city to promise to train officers properly on such actions as search and seizure so as to avoid similar raids in the future. A promise by the city of Atlanta to “vigorously” defend against a December contempt motion claiming the police department ignored a federal court order to properly train officers following the unconstitutional 2009 raid on Midtown gay bar Atlanta Eagle morphed into a meek mea culpa before a federal judge this month.Īnd the owner of the bar says the city’s ongoing defiance of the court order after some six years is “nothing more than a slap in the face of the gay community.”Ītlanta Eagle bar patrons sued the city in federal court after the raid and claimed their constitutional rights were violated in December 2010 the city agreed to settle with the plaintiffs for approximately $1.2 million.
