Johnson said former Memphis Police Officer Bridges McRae beat her after making derogatory remarks about her (calling her "->-bleeped-<-got" and "he/she"). Another man, Officer J. Swain, held her down during the beating. Both officers were later fired from the department. Johnson was suing the city for $1.3 million in damages.
Horrendous. That poor woman.
