Power & Light District- A Big Thank You

Power & Light is the entertainment epicenter as stated on it's website. What they fail to mention is that P&L is extremely discriminatory.
I was up at P&L last night (which is usually were my friends go on Saturday nights). We have never had a problem with ANYTHING especially the security, until now. My boyfriend and I walked into the "Pizza Bar" with no problems and walked to "Lucky Strike". Ordered a drink and then decided to go to "Angels RockBar" because we had never been. However, we were stopped by the bouncer/id checker's near the enterence to Mosaic and were told that we had to leave because "white t-shirts" weren't allowed.
My boyfriend and I were very calm and asked to see the "rules" and we were pointed to the large sign.. specifically the rule about "undergarments". I wasn't aware that a "White T-shirt" or any t-shirt for that matter is considered an undergarmet... we wanted to speak to higher authority about this rule so the security of P&L and KCPD came to talk to us. While explaining the situation and asking if we could return to the bar that let us in (with security walking us of course) the security guards rushed my boyfriend and slammed him against the glass wall. He now has multiple bruses and cuts all over his body. OH.. did I fail to mention that your security guards KICKED my complient boyfriend?
I was also yelled at when I went to pick up his phone (which is now stolen) because I was told by security to stay where I was and not to move. Fearing that I would get assaulted too, I complied, believing that SOMEONE would have picked up the cell phone. Thank you P&L because now we have to wait until Tuesday to get a new phone. My boyfriend also runs a sucessful business from his phone and has important business and personal information on his phone. I appreciate it P&L
Now we are banned from P&L until January and have to go to court because of "Disorderly Conduct" for wearing a white t-shirt that was neither baggy or "Gangster" like. I don't think it's right that your security guards can attack a citizen without due cause. The security guards said "lets go" then proceeded to rush my boyfriend and try to put his hands behind is back and throw him into a glass wall and push him to the floor. Even KCPD had to ask your security guards to let my boyfriend go so he could actually roll over to his stomach to get handcuffed because your security guards were detaining him.
Thank you so much... I really appreciate your no non-sense rules and for protecting the citizens of kansas city from complient white-t'shirt wearing... Oh.. I mean "White Undergarmet" wearing individuals
