UCLA "Officer of the Year" has prior use-of-force complaints · 625 days ago

Hah, how surprising. The UCLA campus police officer who tasered a UCLA student in the library multiple times on November 14th (video of that incident from YouTube), Terrence Duren, had two prior use-of-force complaints.

From the Los Angeles Times:


Scott sued the university, and according to court records, UCLA officials moved to have Duren dismissed from the police force. But after an independent administrative hearing, officials overturned the dismissal, suspending him for 90 days.

Duren on Monday disputed the allegations made by Scott.

In October 2003, Duren shot and wounded a homeless man he encountered in Kerckhoff Hall. Duren chased the man into a bathroom, where they struggled and he fired two shots.

The homeless man, Willie Davis Frazier, was later convicted of assaulting an officer. Duren said Frasier had tried to grab his gun during the struggle. But Frazier’s attorney, John Raphling, said his client was mentally ill and didn’t do anything to provoke the shooting.
