At Rest

Deadly force
Mann was a member of the Ramapo tribe of a rocky rural pocket of deep New Jersey woods. An altercation between the Ramapo and the state park police about weapons and ATV riding, fueled by deeper cultural tensions, resulted in Mann fatally shot twice. The shooter was charged with reckless manslaughter, found not guilty. A jury awarded $2.2M to Mann's family with additional punitive damages.
This record exists so that Emil A. Mann, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
