Former Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw, accused of sexual assault by 13 different women, and who prosecutors said targeted women of color (especially drug addicts, alcoholics, and sex workers, because he thought no one would believe them if they reported him) has been found guilty on 18 of the 36 counts he was facing, including four counts of first-degree rape.

In his closing arguments, BuzzFeed News reports, Holtzclaw’s defense lawyer Scott Adams said that Holtzclaw was an “honorable and ethical police officer.”

“He was aggressive, he was vigilant, and he was honest,” Adams said. “Without people like Daniel Holtzclaw patrolling the streets, what are we?” According to BuzzFeed, a woman in the gallery responded: “Safe.”

Holtzclaw's mistake was pulling over the wrong person: A woman who, when he allegedly assaulted her, wouldn't hesitate to call the police...(He) believ(ed) J.L. was similar to his other alleged victims... (but) J.L...had no criminal record to be held over her. She was driving through the neighborhood where the other women were confronted, but she didn’t live there...

At home, J.L. and her daughter did what middle-class people in Oklahoma City do when they've been the victim of crimes: called the local police... More

4. “...honorable and ethical police officer”?!?

We need to get rape apologists OUT of the legal profession.
