Dustin Keith Glover

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Officers arrived to the Louis Manor Apartments to investigate a claim that Glover, a 27-year-old Black man, had stolen a woman's money. An extended physical struggle ensued, including Glover punching and injuring one officer. Officers proceeded to put Glover in a chokehold and tase him six times. Near the end of a bystander video, Glover can be heard saying "I can't breathe," but the officers continue the chokehold. One officer can be heard telling Glover "you're gonna go to sleep." In a later police report, officers claimed that Glover gave off "the strong odor of 'PCP'" and "was foaming at the mouth." Glover was transported to the city jail, taken to a hospital, taken to the county jail, then released--unconscious and bleeding--to another hospital, where he was pronounced dead two days later. Local police withheld documents from Glover's family.
