Well, not really. San Francisco duo Two Gallants had their show last Friday night abruptly ended when one of Houston's finest barged into the club, jumped on-stage and started breaking shit. Here is a firsthand account as reported at Lazy-I.com:

The policeman then got up and immediately called for backup. The policeman also started thrashing around and destroying musical equipment. Afterwards, members from the crowd and the opening bands started confronting the police officer. The police officer then proceeded to harass and taze members of the crowd, including one 14-year old teenager. Adam then ran out of the venue and disappeared into the streets. Tyson was handcuffed and peacefully entered the police car. Soon, helicopters and police cars flooded into the venue parking lot. Arrests were made of members of the opening bands and dissenting crowd members."
