Christopher Ladue

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

With a history of bipolar disorder but no prior police contact at all, sheriff's deputies were called to Ladue's parents' house, where he was acting uncontrollable and irrational in the back yard. Police fought him, pepper sprayed him, shot a Taser then applied the Taser directly, physically piled on him then handcuffed him. Finally subdued, Ladue then stopped breathing.

Why we remember them
