At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Parks, with a history of schizophrenia and heart disease, was acting strangely and reportedly threatening other patrons with a cane in the bar of a downtown hotel. Responding police wrestled him and tasered him as many as 10 times. After Parks' death police refused to release any details about the incident to the family.
This record exists so that Briant K. Parks, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
