Pires fires back: Pires said he heard someone who’d been told to wait accused the bar of discriminating against black customers, but he said that was false. “I said, ‘Look, you’re talking to a civil rights lawyer for 35 years of my life. Don’t lecture me,’ ” Pires said Wednesday. “ ‘You’re drunk and you’re not getting in.’ ” Creating a line to enter the bar, Pires said, helps tamp down the kinds of unruly crowds that police called attention to in June. “We’ve been told the way to slow them down is lines. People who are sober will wait,” Pires said. “People who are aggressive, it does work. They leave.”
