Why are the police putting these fraternal organizations out of business?
What has our society come to? You can have a a bunch of perverts parading with police protection but get a few guys having a few beers and having a good time and all hell breaks loose.
"Why are the police putting these fraternal organizations out of business? "
I really think it is because...
"Current members are required to be U.S. citizens over the age of 21 and believe in God."

In this case I don't entirely blame the police. The police should not have the power to pick and choose what laws they enforce. I see the blame here lying squarely with the legislators.
