At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Weighing 240 pounds and under the influence of cocaine, Black was found by police acting irrationally, stripping, and chewing on his driver's license. Pepper spray and ten jolts from a Taser appeared to have no effect on him. Ultimately Black was wrestled to the ground by four officers and stopped breathing shortly afterward.
This record exists so that Kip Darrell Black, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
