I was on the Holtzclaw page but now it’s on Tara’s story. Not sure how that happened. Gotta love technology. LOL.

Long time sex worker activist Norma Jean Almodovar has been shouting from the mountain tops about this for many years. The Holtzclaw case was not the first, and while it has been framed as an attack on black women, and perhaps Holtzclaw did single out black women, what is obvious to me, is that he was preying upon prostitutes and women with criminal records. Looking at the broader picture, as in the wide variety of other cops, DA’s, Judges and law enforcement who have preyed upon sex workers with the complicit activities of prosecutors and investigating officers once a courageous woman has stepped forth to report, it is not an issue about race, it is an issue about opportunity and abuse of power. Black officer Anthony Rollins of Alaska had been protected for years by his badge, and had over 30 victims once finally brought to justice. Hispanic cop Sergio Alvarez of Sacramento had over 35 victims before he was finally brought down. There is a long list of these cop predators at Norma’s site in addition to an even longer list of pedophile cop abusers. I’ll never forget reading about the case of a police chief raping a three year old baby twice and getting PROBATION. many of these disgusting meat bags get questionable sentences and too often don’t have to register as sex offenders. THANK GOODNESS this case got ANY press at all! The Rollins and Alvarez cases happened as recently as 2012-13 and did you know about them? 35 victims is a LOT. their victims were of various ethnicities just as the predators are of various ethnicities. But we can JUST focus on ‘certain’ ethnicities which is what has happened in the Holtzclaw case. Had the women been white, I’m wondering if there would’ve been any press other than a few local reports. Let’s not forget that it took a woman with no criminal history for the Holtzclaw case to gain any traction! Otherwise, had he not raped a woman with a clear record, regardless of anyone’s skin color, he would likely still be raping. Very sad. Our people should be heard and appropriate action taken by authorities when they are sexually assaulted or raped by law enforcement. Let’s not forget that in various regions of the USA cops & FBI agents are allowed sexual contact with sex workers to arrest them. I don’t call that consensual. Or the woman judge who decided gang rape of an escort at gun point was merely ‘theft of services’. Or the other bitch Judge who said she wouldn’t bring rape charges against a cop because she didn’t think jurors would accept that a prostitute could be raped.

Narratives can help. But as we have seen far too often, narratives can also derail much needed discussions so that nothing really changes.
