At Rest

Deadly force
Drunk, heavily armed, wearing body armor under camouflage fatigues, and having assaulted his wife and adult daughter earlier in the evening, police organized an escalated response to Brooks in a standoff. Finally he fired a Chinese-made assault weapon at police and was struck and killed by return fire.
This record exists so that James Harold Brooks, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
