Re: Student tasered at UCLA library for not having his ID 11-14-06 11:30pm
He is a former Long Beach PD officer who was fired 18 years ago because he had trouble writing reports and doing other administrative tasks.
Then he went to work for UCPD:
"The Times says that Officer Terrence Duren was named UCPD's Officer of the Year in 2001, but 11 years earlier almost got kicked off the force after choking someone out with a nightstick outside a fraternity. An admin hearing wound up suspending him for 90 days, instead, the Times reports. In 2003, Duren also apparently shot a homeless man who tried to grab his gun during a struggle in Kerckhoff Hall, the story says ...
Interestingly, it was Duren's shooting of Willie Davis Frazier that may actually have prompted UCLA to arm its officers with Tasers the following year."
...sounds like he's just doing his job to me.
