MEMPHIS, TN-A Memphis police officer is accused of beating up someone under arrest. The person seen being attacked on the tape is a transexual. She says the attack is a hate crime.

Now the FBI is investigating. One officer is off the job, and another is on desk duty.

Duanna Johnson says the officer beat her up after calling her all sorts of names and making fun of her sexuality.

On the videotape you see Johnson being attacked.  One officer is holding Johnson back, while another throws punches.

Johnson says before the beating began the officer called her a "he/she" and a "faggot."

On the videotape you see employees standing around, but no one intervenes.

A statement from the Memphis Police Department says no details can be released because of the internal investigation.

Officer J Swain was on probation with the department and lost his job. Officer B McRae has been taken off the streets until a hearing.

Johnson does plan on filing a $1.3 million lawsuit against the City of Memphis.

This is a news release sent to Eyewitness News Everywhere by the Memphis Police Department:

The Memphis Police Department does not condone any misconduct of a police officer that will compromise official law enforcement duties or the rights or safety of our citizens.
