At Rest

Deadly force
Beaird, a National Guard veteran, was pursued by LAPD and other officers during a lengthy high-speed chase that ended in a collision near downtown Los Angeles. The unarmed Beaird stumbled out of the car and was later shot by pursuing officers. Beaird's family won a $5 million civil suit against the city for Beaird's death.
