Michael Dunbar

How they died

Deadly force

Two officers approached Dunbar and a passenger while he was parked on the street on a Wednesday evening. He tried to drive away, even as one of the officers reached in and tried to turn off the car. Dunbar is said to have rolled up the window, trapping the cop's arm, and dragged the officer down the street. With a free hand the officer fatally shot him. Witness accounts were at sharp variance with the police narrative.
