At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
According to a civil suit, officers used excessive force when they tried to arrest Stanley Sparks outside his home, allegedly choking him to death. The officer involved was never charged criminally, but the city paid $600,000 to settle the suit.
This record exists so that Stanley Sparks, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
