Transsexual Beaten by Memphis Police Officer Speaks Out

I could only watch this video once!

I know that Ms. Johnson will receive due justice there is no doubt. She has retained herself a lawyer, the entire Memphis County jail stands in dire need of diversity training, etc. The nurse as you will hear Duanna speak about should lose her certificate or license, because it's inexcusable.

Whoa...it is too early on a Sunday morning for me to be so outraged.

First, like an idiot I tried watching George Stephanopolous (spelling?) - for Pete sake. The panel of guest talked about race in politics, specifically Obama's. However IF Obama loses it won't be because of race -- was one of their quotes, (Stupid fuckers!)

Then a video from my girl Honjii - George asswipe Bush and now this hate.

Okay go head and watch it's just an outrage!

Duanna Johnson speaks out will she receive Justice, let's hope so!

Video: Memphis Police officer beats transexual in booking station

This is unbelievable and when officers of the court conduct themselves as such their badges should be taken away.

There are no If-And's-or-But's in this matter.




according to 2015Place.com this is how the story goes....

MEMPHIS, TN.Memphis police officer beating a suspect at 201 Poplar in an apparent case of police brutality.

The video, recorded February 12th, shows Duanna Johnson in the booking area at the Shelby County Criminal Justice Center after an arrest for prostitution.The tape clearly shows a Memphis police officer walk over to Johnson - a transsexual - and hit her in the face several times."

Actually he was trying to get me to come over to where he was, and I responded by telling him that wasn't my name - that my mother didn't name me a 'faggot' or a 'he-she,' so he got upset and approached me. And that's when it started," Johnson said.

"We wanted some acknowledgement - my client did - so she would know that the Memphis Police Department didn't condone this," said Murray Wells, Johnson's attorney. "We were optimistic that they would be as outraged about this as we are, and we haven't gotten any indication that they're interested in it at all.

A copy of the tape was reviewed by both the FBI and the District Attorney's office, the latter of which dropped all charges against Johnson. An FBI investigation into possible civil rights violations is still underway.

Meanwhile, the Memphis Police Department confirmed that the officer holding Johnson was on probation, and has been fired. The officer who threw the punches is currently on non-enforcement status pending an administrative hearing.

and this is why i do not own a gun, 'cause i would shoot it.
