Deadly force
Officer Brian Chambers responded to a "man with knife" call from the woman who owned the home at which Joseph Thomas Brewer was staying. Chambers reports that Brewer was holding a box cutter in front of the home. Chambers ordered Brewer to put his hands up and reports that he instead confronted him, walked toward him and gave him an "intense stare". Chambers shot him three times in the chest.
