Reversing an earlier statement, District 1 Councilman Mario Bravo told the Current that a staffer in his office relayed complaints from residents near McIntyre’s Southtown to police days before officers swarmed the sports bar. That stands in contrast to a May 2 tweet in which the first-term councilman denied any involvement and stated that his office was “surprised” by the April 28 incident, which critics are calling a police raid. “Specifically saying so right now: We didn’t play a role and we were surprised to learn that this happened,” Bravo tweeted.
