At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Peter Lee Williams attempted to break up a fight between two high school girls and his daughter. When the crowd failed to disperse, a police officer pepper sprayed the crowd. Williams had coronary disease and collapsed and died after being pepper sprayed. A federal judge threw out a lawsuit claiming pepper spray had at least in part caused Williams' death.
This record exists so that Peter Lee Williams, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
