At Rest

Deadly force
Police went to the Hansen home after receiving reports that Robert Hansen was beating his father. In her 911 call, Hansen's mother, Debi, stressed that her son was mentally ill and very large, weighing in excess of 300 pounds. When the officers arrived, Robert Hansen was on the porch, talking incoherently. At some point, her son approached the officers and tackled one of them as his mother and father tried to pull him away. The accompanying officer shot him from close range.
This record exists so that Robert Allen “Bo” Hansen Jr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
