At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Anderson had been released from prison on a Sunday. On Wednesday night around midnight he flagged down officers, seeking help for an overdose of crack cocaine. Then he ran away. Then he was discovered trying to break into a convenience store. Detained, he became combative, and a Tasering left him unresponsive and struggling to breathe. He died shortly after.
This record exists so that Otis C. Anderson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
