District 1 Councilman Mario Bravo said staff in his office are doing their jobs when they inquire about permits for downtown-area bars.that a staffer in his office relayed complaints from residents near McIntyre's Southtown to police days before officers swarmed the sports bar.
Yet in an interview on Tuesday, Bravo explained that when he fired off the tweets he was unaware that District 1 Senior Director of Downtown Operations Stacy Jones had contacted the San Antonio Police Department prior to the police showing up at McIntyre's. Meanwhile, residents in both neighborhoods have long complained of litter, noise, parking and alleged crime brought by revelers at bars and nightspots. What's more, Bravo said the police incident at McIntyre's started as a visit by four plainclothes police and only drew additional officers after an altercation started at the bar.
"When [the undercover officers] believed they observed illegal activities [at McIntyre's], they acted on it," Bravo said."There was some kind of altercation, and maybe somebody tried to play big dog and was interacting aggressively with the police officers, and so they called for backup.", Bravo added:"If it wasn't for someone trying to fight a cop after Fiesta, then this so-called raid wouldn't have happened.
Questions from residents prompted her to send six emails from March 20-28 to San Antonio Planning and Land Development Manager Kristie Flores seeking zoning and permit information on the Southtown bar, according to details in that correspondence.
