GALVESTON, TX — More than a dozen wedding guests were brutalized by police officers during a raid on a wedding party at a hotel.  Cops fired tasers, used batons, and generously applied pepper spray to the guests of a bride and groom hours after their wedding.  Among them was former pro-baseball star Brandon Backe, who said the shoulder injuries that he received from police caused his pitching career to end.

After causing a gaping head wound, bruises, hair pulled out, a broken nose, and pepper spray on numerous individuals, the only reprimand any of the officers received was a paperwork violation.  Interestingly, none of the 3 dozen cops reported any use of force.
