Attorneys for Craig Nash, 39, had asked state District Judge Lori Valenzuela for deferred adjudication probation during the brief sentencing hearing, pointing out that he otherwise had been commended for his service during his six years with the department.


As part of a plea agreement, Nash waived an indictment last month and pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor. In exchange, prosecutors agreed not to pursue a felony charge of sexual assault by a police officer, which had a maximum sentence of life in prison.


“He had been officer of the month a couple times,” Brown said, adding that Nash had been recognized for saving a woman from a fire, among other commendations. “He had a lot of heroic acts.”

Actually, he raped two people:


Two days after the officer's arrest, a second person came forward to say he had also been raped by the officer in 2008. As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors won't pursue the second allegation, according to court documents.

For this he gets a misdemeanor and one year in prison. Had he robbed a bank, he would have gotten a felony and 7 years in prison.

Why not post this in the "women's struggle" sub-forum?

Trans-women are a sub-category of women.

There was another link in discrimination to an event in Texas involving police brutality. I think that posting this where it is works to further illustrate the bigger picture and immediate situation.

Why have you not commented on it here?

I didn't see the other thread you mentioned. I don't tend to notice everything that gets posted here.

Wow. He gets a class A misdemeanor charge for that? That's the same charge I got for PCS (cannabinoids) a year ago...in Texas, as a matter of fact.

So apparently getting busted for weed is about the same as raping multiple people, just as long as you're a "worker in uniform". :rolleyes:

This is just another example how the system doesn't work and protects its own and is more than willing to brush away crimes to save face.

Crime is crime...the fact that you wear a uniform and function in a capacity that supposedly should protect the innocent (I can't even say this with a straight face :crying:) should never be an excuse to lessen the culpability...in fact...in my opinion it should make the crime that more culpable.

Never ever should a crime against a persons autonomy not be pursued because of some plea bargain. Disgusting....:mad:

As a transsexual, I don't consider myself a subcategory of women. I just consider myself a woman. I happen to be born into the wrong body.

But yes, it should be in women's struggle.

Also, this really pisses me off.

Eh...by "sub-category" I just mean it in a completely neutral sense, like saying "Chinese women are a sub-category of women".

March 15 - International Day Against Police . . . Brutality.

Anyway, I fucking hate the, "Oh, but once he saved a woman from a fire!" narrative. It's like, dude is a fucking violent rapist pig. This same shit has been popping up in media here, with the pig who is facing charges from the G20 in June: The Sun *gag* juxtaposed a picture of him shitkicking Adam Nobody with a picture of him rescuing an old man from a flood. It's like, "Oh, see, really, he's a hero!" Uh . . . no.

That's the other thread I was talking about which is what prompted me to put this thread where it is- just for organizational purposes and to highlight a core issue (Texas thugs in blue terrorizing community)

Heroism is overrated....somehow we are supposed to believe in the "shining knight/warrior princess in white armour" principle which states that if you do something the help others you are immediately a good person for ever.

Well...it doesn't work out that way...fairy tales tell only part of the story...

The white knight knew absolutely fuck all about snowwhite, but just happened to decide to stick his tongue into a sleeping girls mouth (who he did not have previously consentual sexual relationships with :-P before we start the whole Assange thing again)....date rapist anybody?? In fact he was only after a trophy wife to boost his status...parade her around boasting all the time to his friends in the bar when he was cruising for other chicks...o...and the fact that her father was king was probably not a deterrent either.

Cinderella was in reality just some golddigger who just happened to fall in love with a boy she knew for what?...about an hour? And wanted to marry him? Yeah...right the fact that he was about to be the king and had loads of money probably didn't have any bearing on the issue at all...

And the bad, bad wolf was just a hungry animal being starved to death because lumberjacks scared away all the food. And what the hell is up with leaving old women all alone in the woods without any form of care except for some little kid who gets send by her parents into dangerous woods. Bad parenting and a callous society...


But hey...they make nice stories. Dulls our minds...hero's can't be bad people because that would fuck up our perception of how reality should be. Its sickening and pathetic.

This is a horribly reactionary thing to say, but one mean, very primitive part of me hopes that he would drop the soap in the shower.

For his prison mates, he would just appear as a gay male.

[Os Cangaceiros]

He'll almost certainly be put into protective custody in prison.

[TC]

As if we needed more evidence that cops and prosecutors are horrible people who can get away with anything.

[Queercommie Girl]

The United States police and prison service is especially notorious though, a lot worse than what they are like in Europe.

[BankHeist]

I hate how articles about murdered or sexually assaulted trans women must always emphasize the fact that that they are/were sex workers, without examining the conditions that make sex work an inevitability for most trans women.

The implication this article tries to make, is that if she regularly has sex for money -- she must clearly prone to promiscuity, making her (at least partially) responsible for any forced sexual advances.

Of course we all know, if she had been a lawyer, the media would not have bothered to suggest that a policeman raped a "transgendered lawyer"...
