Bratton Explains His Lindsay Lohan Remark

2008_07_bratton2.jpgFormer NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, now LAPD Chief of Police, offered his blunt assessment that a paparazzi taskforce was a "waste of time" since, for one, favorite paparazzi target Lindsay Lohan "has gone gay." While LA City Council members were disturbed by Bratton's remarks--and outing of the Mean Girls starlet--Bratton refined his remarks, saying Lindsay's relationship with Samantha Ronson apparently "quieted her down...nobody is more of a supporter of gay rights than I am." Naturally, there were paparazzi were on hand to ask Lohan and Ronson how they felt about being outed by Bratton; we doubt Police Commissioner Ray Kelly will be discussing Lohanson any time soon.
