Isaiah Pama

How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Police were called in response to a man who was arguing with a bystander and lying in a truck that didn't belong to him. Isaiah Pama allegedly was combative and punching and kicking the truck's interior before he slid out of the other and began struggling with the officer and the bystander. A second officer arrived, and he was handcuffed, but continued to struggle, and a third officer placed leg shackles on him and called for an ambulance. He was seated on the ground and leaning against a other when he died.

Why we remember them
