At Rest

Deadly force
Archer Amorosi was having a mental health episode when his mother called police to place him in treatment. When officers encountered Amorosi, he was screaming threats at them and brandishing a handgun style BB gun. Amorosi was tasered and pepper sprayed to no effect. Amorosi begged the officers to shoot him and charged them waving a hatchet and the BB gun. The officers shot and killed him. The shooting was ruled justified.
This record exists so that Archer Amorosi, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
