Brooks resisted and when one officer attempted to shock him with a Taser, Brooks grabbed theTaser and ran. The other officer chased Brooks and attempted to shock him. When Brooks turned around and discharged theTaser at the chasing officer, the officer drew his gun and shot and killed Brooks.
This record exists so that Rayshard Brooks, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
