Discrimination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello. My name is Chris Ciezak. I work with an independent record label out of suburbs. Racketeer Records. We are a hip hop music label. We have been organizing our second annual free to the public "Biggest BBQ in the Suburbs" The event is this Saturday June 25th@ remington lakes park in Bolingbrook. We have been planning the event since early this year. Within the past two days the the Bolingbrook police department has found out about our event and has been trying to do everything in their power to stop the event. The bolingbrook police dept. called the park district and told them that the BBQ will be filled with gangbangers, drugs, guns, ect. Basically when they found out that the event will is a hip hop music event they feel that it will be nothing but problems. The Bolingbrook police dept is clearly discriminating against young minorities. The bolingbrook PD has a history of discrimination against such events. We are trying to do something good for the community. We are providing free food, drinks, prizes, and entertainment. We have put lots of time and money into this event and it not right that they are trying to put a stop to it because they do not want that many young people gathering in one place. Please help us bring light to this matter. The Bolingbrook Police have been discriminating against this type of thing for years and there is nothing we can do about it. Its not right and something needs to be done. We are trying to do something positive for our community and their ignorance is trying to put a stop to it.
