Less-than-lethal force
A medical call to the Waukesha Fire Department about a 58-year-old man who was having trouble breathing. Police tried to arrest a domestic abuse suspect. The man, Paul J. Bruner, was under a domestic abuse injunction order. Police said Bruner was uncooperative and refused medical attention. Meanwhile, the woman had visible minor injuries. Determining that a domestic violence incident had occurred earlier, police tried to arrest Bruner. He allegedly became combative. Officers used a stun-gun -- an "electronic control device" -- and physical force to take him into custody. The man died.
This record exists so that Paul J. Bruner, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
