At Rest

Deadly force
Officers with the Chilton County Sheriff's Office and the Clanton Police Department were called to a home on a report of a domestic disturbance. When officers arrived, 43-year-old Michael Lamar Robinson was brandishing either a sword or a machete, Houston said. As officers told him to drop that weapon, he pulled a pistol from his right side. Police said Robinson raised the gun three-quarters of the way to full point when the officers shot and killed him.
This record exists so that Michael Lamar Robinson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
