The police make it sound like the OK Corral, and that's not the case. A Parktown manager, who declined to give his name, said that private security guards, bouncers and three off-duty police officers were hired last fall. Customers are searched for weapons, with metal detectors. Now a police shooting has rubbed tensions raw again. Blacks say the cops are on the muscle.
Complaints come from black and white residents.
