At Rest

Deadly force
On instructions from a hospital, Blair's family called the county police to assist when the 26-year-old paranoid schizophrenic had locked himself in a bathroom and had threatened suicide with a knife. Officers tasered Blair without effect, then killed him with "almost a dozen" gunshots fired into his body at point-blank range as he advanced toward them.
This record exists so that Michael Blair, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
