Former Police Officer gets 2 years in Prison for beating a Transgender Woman

Ex cop Bridges McRae was given two years in prison beating transgendered woman Duana Johnson. He also got in trouble for tax evasion as well.

Bridges McRae was convicted of violating the rights of Duana Johnson while the transgender woman awaited booking on charges of prostitution. McRae admitted to unjustifiably striking her numerous times at the Criminal Justice Complex.

McRae also pled guilty to tax evasion, admitting that he claimed 99 dependents on his W-4 form to keep the City of Memphis from withholding federal taxes and then intentionally not filing a tax return.

Duana was murdered after this incident. Her death remains unsolved. More on her story here

Two teens face hate crime charges for Beating a Transgender Woman in McDonald’s

The two women who beat Chrissy Lee Polis, a transgender woman in McDonald's were indicted on hate crime charges the other day.

Here's more:

Teonna Brown, 18, was indicted Monday on assault and hate crime charges in the attack on Chrissy Lee Polis at the restaurant last month. She is also charged with assaulting a customer and a McDonald’s employee who tried to intervene. A 14-year-old girl is facing the same charges in juvenile court. The Associated Press typically does not identify juveniles charged with crimes.

Both teenagers are being held, prosecutors said no one else would be charged.
Brown was defending herself and maintains her innocence, according to attorney Timothy P. Knepp. He declined to go into further detail.

“She’s a very nice young lady who lives with her mom and is not the person the press has made her out to be,” Knepp said.

A videotape of the April 18 beating showed a woman being attacked repeatedly while an employee and customer try to stop them, and the woman apparently having a seizure.

While some thinks the jail time is justice, others think counseling and anger management will help the girls stay away from future trouble.
