The Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project is
gravely concerned that excessive force was used, a fact which Scott's
injuries clearly establish. Given the disproportionate police
response, we immediately suspect that homophobia may have played a
role in the way Scott was treated. This possibility needs to be
seriously considered and investigated. "There can be no good reason
for force sufficient to bruise and bloody Mr. Scott. I can't imagine
him posing any physical threat to police officers whatsoever. This
sounds like something you would expect at Guantanamo Bay, and yet this
is Provincetown where the bashing took place" said Don Gorton,
Chairperson of the Gay and Lesbian Anti-Violence Project.
