TW: Rape, police retaliation

In June, Norman, OK cut the police dept. budget by $865,000.

In retaliation, an NPD officer doxxed a female city council member, to "teach her a lesson".

On Saturday, her duplex was broken in to & her neighbor—mistaken as her—was brutally raped.
Norman PD have acknowledged that an officer doxxed the city council member. But they say her address is "public information" & are refusing to even discipline the officer, much less fire him.

They also claim that the rape victim suffered "minor injuries". https://twitter.com/kendallybrown/status/1279474052097363969
After breaking into her duplex, the rapist dug his elbow into the her neck, pushed her into the wall, & said, "Maybe next time you'll learn your lesson."

Again, this is after a NORMAN POLICE OFFICER posted her home address publicly in the context of "teaching her a lesson."
Norman cop Michael Lauderback, using the account "Tired Ofthehate", doxxed the city council woman, threatening that protestors could "enlist all the help [they] want" but that they are "just adding to the numbers that will be in trouble like yourself."

The rape was 2 days later.
In May, Norman PD also declined to press charges on a fellow cop in nearby Lexington, after he threatened Norman Mayor Brea Clark, saying she, "needs to be pulled out of office & tried on the court house lawn...the problem with politicians, they don’t get hung in public anymore."
**IMPORTANT NOTE**

I waited to mute this thread, in case any journalists reached out and wanted put in touch with the activist group leading the push for action.

But my mentions have become a nightmare, so I have to mute it now. If you are a journalist, my DMs are open!
*IMPORTANT UPDATE*

Far right activists are using @gofundme to raise $$$ to remove the Norman city council woman—who was the victim of police doxxing resulting in the rape of a woman mistaken as her—from office.

They've raised $22k so far. Please report: https://www.gofundme.com/f/unitenorman
