At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
The night of the incident the Philadelphia Police Department responded to a breaking and entering call on West Adkins Street. According to a witness, Michael McDougle, was beaten and tasered by officers of the Philadelphia Police Department on November 1, 2014, while in handcuffs. Media reports don't state categorically whether he was booked, so this incident may be outside of FatalEncounters dataset, which does not include individuals after they've been booked into the jail or prison system.
This record exists so that Michael D. McDougle, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
