At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Lerma, high on cocaine, ran around trying to break into people's houses. Officers and paramedics responded. Lerma told officers to shoot him and resisted arrest. Officers put Lerma in emergency detention and took him to University Hospital, where he died.
This record exists so that Robert Lerma, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
