At Rest

Deadly force
When police sought Brown on an outstanding felony warrant, they found him hidden within the insulation of his ex-wife's attic. He was homeless and known to suffer from depression and bipolar disorder. Brown lunged at the officers as if he had a knife, and they killed him with 27 bullets. Police "found a knife at the scene."
This record exists so that Dionne A. Brown, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
