At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Police responded to calls about a white trade van driving erratically, then stopped into the middle of a major street. Downing, violent and combative, "grunting incoherently" according to one report, was tasered and died shortly afterward. He had high levels of cocaine in his system.
This record exists so that Kevin M. Downing, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
