FBI probing sheriff's deputy beating of Navajo man

The FBI is investigating a case involving a San Juan County sheriff's deputy who was caught on videotape beating a Navajo man with his flashlight.

The Farmington Daily Times reports that a FBI spokesman confirmed that the federal agency was looking into the beating, but he declined to comment on specifics.

Deputy Dale Frazier was fired earlier this year after a videotape showed him slamming 22-year-old Donovan Tanner onto his patrol car face-up then hitting him a number of times with his flashlight.

Tanner later award $250,000 from San Juan County.

The beating captured the attention of the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission, which said the beating was a ``clear demonstration'' of police brutality against Native Americans by law enforcement in the Farmington area.


Psa 25:19     Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred.
 
Psa 109:5     And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
 
Eze 35:5     Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed [the blood of] the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time [that their] iniquity [had] an end:
 
Eze 35:6     Therefore, [as] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
