Ok so we're at the bar on Friday night and my drunk friend throws her drink at the bartender. She calls the bouncer and he is kicking us out. I try to explain him that I'm just waiting on the bartender to bring my tab. Anyways he starts talking **** to me and I'm like dude get the **** off my face and stop acting like your about to hit me.. Anyways he's like you don't think I will I'm like hell no you work here.. My friend comes and hes like dude just chill we are closing the tab and were out... Out of nowhere this big *** black bouncer hits him in the face twice. We try to press charges and the cop which happens to be black acts like he doesn't care and we can't press charges because there was alcohol involve. I mean **** he got hit outta nowhere. Is there legal way to do anything about this? I mean cop arrested my other friend (the girl that threw her drink at the bartender) for public intoxication. I think he was just being some racist prick. I need some advice on this matter!!!

The best way is street justice. If the bouncer was black, wait for him in the parking lot late one night with some Hell's Angels or Aryan Brotherhood. Bring plenty of bats and chains with locks on the ends. As for the racist cop, you should go to the newspaper with your story. Tell them that he used an ethnic slur towards you. File a complaint with the citizens review board. Black cops have double the chip on their shoulder than white ones. It's the one way to get revenge on white people legally.

Yet an another example proving that just because you're old enough to drink at a bar doesn't mean you're mature enough to drink at a bar.
"For no reason whatsoever" eh? Let's see: Your friend assaulted the bartender by throwing the drink. You both were asked to leave and did not (that's trespassing.) You and your friedn both copped an attitude with the bouncer (hint: do not poke the bear.) What does the skin color of the bouncer (or the cop, for that matter) have to do with the price of rice in China??? It sounds like you are the racist one.
Personally, I think you both got off lucky. Count your blessing that neither of you ended up in jail on charges of assault, criminal trespass, drunk in public, or any of a handful of lesser charges.
And if you listen to these jer kwads telling you get a bicycle chain, baseball bat, padlock and chains, etc... I hope you're big enough to go to jail for assault with a deadly weapon attempted murder, or worse because that's exactly what will happen.
Like the others said, you guys got off lucky. Chalk it up as a learning experience (and LEARN from it...don't do it again.)

Under the circumstances it sounds like your friend is very lucky that is all that happened to him.
If he wants to sue the bar and/or the bouncer, I doubt that he will be a very sympathetic plaintiff to a jury.
Your friend could always file a written police report against the bouncer even though the police on the scene apparently did not think that his actions warranted any action on their part.
If you really think that you have a case you should contact an attorney.
Based on what you have said here I would be very surprised if any attorney could identify any legal action that you can take under the circumstances as you have presented them.

You would have to press charges for the assault, but if the officer at the scene wouldn't take you seriously, it's going to be hard to prove. Did you take pictures of your friends face? I have been a bouncer and never punched anyone. I don't think that a bouncer should punch people unless it is self defense. I would go the police dept. and press charges.

You can file charges. You can sue him. However the court is going to believe a sober bouncer over drunk people that throw drinks and swear at bouncers.
You were ordered to leave and failed to do so. The bouncer has the right to remove you and to use reasonable force in executing his job.

Get over it. Check it as a lesson learned. I wouldn't go seeking revenge. After all the cops took your names and you guys probably used a credit card so it wouldn't be hard to figure out who you were. Remember bouncers are big dudes, and usually have big friends.
A good way not to get punched in the face is to not hang out with guys who throw drinks in faces. Also, stay out of bars.

you may circulate on your community police station and fill out a police record. in the event that they ask you approximately it, tell the officers on the police station that the officer on the scene refused to record a record on the problem. (presuming it is real). It appears like the female in contact replaced into to blame of public intoxication, and ought to in all probability be charged with battery for throwing her drink on the bartender. despite the fact that, it is beside the point to the battery against your buddy by using the bartender. with any luck, you have the names and get in touch with numbers of a few witnesses to the incident, so as that the police and/or district lawyer ought to look into, in the event that they are so susceptible. If the buddy who replaced into battered replaced into injured, he can touch an lawyer who might particularly help him with the accessible submitting of a civil fee of battery against the bouncer, possibly naming the nightclub as a defendant to boot. you likely ought to seek advice from a community lawyer until eventually now doing maximum of those steps, aside from the area approximately submitting a police record. For a referral, touch your community or state bar association.
