At Rest

Deadly force
Arraiol, who had outstanding warrants, was recognized by Taunton officers walking along the railroad tracks. Arraiol fled. When cornered he produced a handgun, refused police commands to surrender, remained defiant even after a police dog bit him on the leg, then pointed the gun at officers. He was shot twice in the chest and was pronounced death in a nearby hospital.
This record exists so that David Arraiol, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
