At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
James Marshall died in the hospital two days after police tasered him. Police found Marshall waving a flagpole and causing a disturbance. Police said Marshall was verbally hostile and made aggressive movements with the 10-foot pole. Police said Marshall tried to break church windows and punched an officer in the face. Marshall grabbed an officer's taser and shocked himself. As the struggle continued, an officer tasered Marshall in the back. He continued to struggle but became unresponsive. He never regained consciousness.
This record exists so that James Eric Marshall, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
