These cases are so difficult to prosecute because the defense attorneys go after the victims’ credibility in court…In my experience working with victims of police abuse, officers do target vulnerable women, particularly drug addicts, alcoholics and prostitutes.
They are confident that ‘no one will believe’ these victims. Where women of color are available as targets, they are even easier prey.
