At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Police responded to reports of a man trying to pour charcoal lighter fluid on an apartment building. When police arrived, Hall barricaded himself in a restroom of a convenience store. Fearing he might try to harm himself or start another fire, officers broke in the door. As officers tried to arrest Hall he became combative, fought with them, was tasered and died.
This record exists so that Gerald E. Hall, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
