"We weren't going to be walking meekly in the night and letting them shove us around" The police barricade themselves into a stone wall at Stonewall because they feel this is their only place of safety, but then people start using it as a battering ram for trying to break in. It's also funny that like then the assault becomes on the gay bar, right? Because people are mad at the cops, but the cops happen to be in the gay bar.
