TRIGGER WARNING

An asshole cop in San Antonio gets sentenced to only 1 year for raping a transgender woman.  Chances are it's happened more than once and he's not the only cop who's done this.  God only knows how many other women have been similarly assaulted. Really, what more is there to say but FFFFUUUUUUUU!

Prosecutors opted to pursue the misdemeanor charge against Nash instead of the felony as they began looking ahead to trial and contemplating “additional issues we'd have to deal with,” said Adriana Biggs, chief of the district attorney's white-collar crimes division. She declined to elaborate.

Gee, I wonder what those "additional issues" might be. If they make the difference between a year or life for a rapist, they damn well should be addressed.

...Misdemeanor? When did rape stop being a felony?

DNA taken from a rape kit later linked Nash to the complainant, according to court records. The woman picked Nash out in a police lineup and GPS tracking of his patrol unit was consistent with what she said, documents state.

But...but...they had evidence and everything.
