The two officers responsible for the severe beating of a Black, transgender woman were fired today after an internal hearing. Former officer Bridges McRae was terminated for beating and verbally assaulting Duanna Johnson while officer James Swain held her down. The entire event was caught on a surveillance camera.
Officer Swain was already on probation and was fired. Memphis Police Association President J.D. Sewell says McRae went into today’s hearing thinking that he would be keeping his job. According to Sewell, McRae says he did nothing wrong.
Duanna Johnson is planning on filing a $1.3 million lawsuit against the city of Memphis.
