At Rest

Deadly force
Police were called to a domestic disturbance between Habel and his girlfriend. Habel had a long record of previous assaults and incidents, a current protective order, a court mandate to avoid alcohol, and was on probation. Police removed the slightly-injured girlfriend from the house, and cornered Habel in the back yard with a police dog. After threatening and encouraging the officers to shoot him, they did, twice.
This record exists so that Eric T. Habel, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
