On June 28, the stonewall riots broke out involving New York's Gay community. The gay community was already worried that the police department was targeting gay clubs. Unfortunately the Stonewall Club did not have a license to sell alcohol in their club, but when 3 drag queens and a lesbian were put into the back of a paddy wagon, the riot started to break out. After the first riot broke out the law enforcement officers were forced to take shelter in the building. After this riot it was followed by many other outbreaks which caused the police reinforcements to disperse the crowds. http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-stonewall-riot
