At Rest

Deadly force
On Sunday, July 15, Madison police killed Ronald Brandon with a bullet to the head. Drunk and despondent, the 48-year-old had called 911 to report, falsely, that a man with a gun was threatening neighbors. When police arrived at the east-side residence, Brandon was sitting on the front porch. He purportedly pointed a pellet gun first at his own head and then at an officer, drawing a lethal rifle shot.
This record exists so that Ronald A. Brandon, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
