At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Robert 'Ethan' Saylor, 26, died from asphyxia after three Frederick County Sheriff's deputies handcuffed the flailing, 294-pound man who had Down syndrome as he screamed, cursed and cried for his mother. Saylor had not purchased a ticket for a repeat viewing of the movie Zero Dark Thirty.
This record exists so that Robert Ethan Saylor, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
