At Rest

Deadly force
In the middle of the night police were called out to a report of a vandalized car. The vandal was Southerland, driving a pickup towing a trailer for a riding lawn mower. Twice he backed up toward police vehicles; the second time, that trailer mounted the hood of a cruiser. Southerland engaged in a physical fight with officers that escalated. Although evidently unarmed he was shot to death.
This record exists so that Neil Don Southerland, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
