In the current Willamette Week<\/em>, Portland’s more mainstream “alternative” paper, there’s a story on four of the most abusive cops in Portland<\/a>. Although the author didn’t make a point of this, what struck me is that three of the four committed abuses which had strong elements of misogyny.<\/p>\n

Christopher LaFrenz: Bargoers said LaFrenz, then a four-year cop, called a man playing pool “pussy” and “vagina boy,” challenging him to fight for no apparent reason. Ordered to leave, LaFrenz’s group confronted the pool player outside at closing time. One of the group-possibly LaFrenz-head-butted the man, causing a golf-ball-sized swelling next to his eye. Bystanders broke it up, but when Hillsboro police investigated, LaFrenz hired a lawyer and refused to cooperate. Due to differing witness accounts, nobody was charged.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Vagina boy?” What kind of thought process leads to using “vagina boy” as an insult? Sheesh.<\/p>\n

David Golliday: Golliday’s drunken actions at a bawdy Halloween party attended by off-duty cops and prosecutors sparked a yearlong investigation in 2001. Another cop’s fianc\u00c3\u00a9e told investigators Golliday grabbed her breasts and reached under her skirt, and later sent cops to her home to pressure her not to complain. He was accused of grabbing at other women, too, as well as swearing at a female district attorney. […] Golliday was demoted from sergeant but not charged. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A third cop profiled in the article, Joseph Hanousek, is best known in Portland for being caught on video pepper-spraying a female protector and seeming to laugh about it. He’s also been accused of helping prostitutes avoid arrest in exchange for sexual favors:<\/p>\n

In 1996, due to a technical glitch, a ham-radio operator overheard Hanousek talking to a prostitute on his cell phone, and told police the cop seemed to be trading information about upcoming prostitution sweeps for the promise of fellatio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t doubt that there are many decent cops out there, but the profession also seems to attract some misogynistic, macho assholes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
