Internal affairs records shed new light on Texas House candidate Frederick Frazier's early law-enforcement career in Dallas. He faced nine brutality...
Frederick Frazier, a Dallas police officer endorsed by Donald Trump for a North Texas House seat, has condemned district attorneys’ efforts to prosecute officers for aggression toward George Floyd protesters.
In Frazier’s eight other brutality cases — at least six of the people were Black or Latino — investigators concluded there was not enough evidence to determine he used inappropriate force. The cases renew questions about patterns of leniency for Dallas officers accused of abusing people of color.quietly cleared Sgt. Roger Rudloff of using excessive force against a Latina protester during the George Floyd protestsIt was the 19th time Rudloff had escaped punishment for complaints of abusive behavior, racial profiling and other misconduct toward minorities.
Frazier was one of a dozen officers in the Southwest Patrol Division awarded the prestigious certificate of merit for making 85 felony drug arrests.In summer 1997, Frazier’s supervisors found he improperly reported his overtime. On another occasion, they found he lied to one of his sergeants so he could leave work early on a day busy with calls. He received counseling and a written admonishment for the policy violations, internal affairs records show.
Frazier denied assaulting White. He acknowledged standing next to White in the yard, but said he did not step on him. He said his only remark was: “You shouldn’t have ran.” Frightened, he broke away and ran toward people he saw in front of nearby homes. Frazier tackled him on a lawn face down and handcuffed him. That’s when the blows came to his head, back and ribs, Alexander told investigators.
Internal affairs sided with witnesses and substantiated the physical abuse. Detectives did not finalize the inquiry until 14 months later, in January 2002.In a statement at the time, Frazier said Alexander falsely portrayed him as being racially motivated. Over the next four years Frazier was investigated four more times for allegedly using excessive force.
