At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Police approached Oliver on a grassy median of a major street. Oliver remained polite and mostly cooperative but his agitated and confused mental state was quickly apparent to officers. Trying to get him out of the flow of traffic, police tasered him--eight times within the next two minutes. Ultimately screaming in pain and foaming at the mouth, with a body temperature of 107 degrees, the unarmed and non-threatening Oliver died of a seizure.
This record exists so that Anthony Carl Oliver Sr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
