At Rest

Deadly force
Thomas, his son and his son's girlfriend were lost and pulled over to get directions. Off-duty King County sheriff's deputy Melvin Miller approached the pickup and shot and killed Thomas Sr. He said Thomas pulled a gun. Critics and witnesses who disagree with the official narrative say the police officer was brandishing a gun when he approached, was not wearing a uniform, did not identify himself as a police officer, and had no reason to confront Thomas in the manner that he did.
This record exists so that Robert Lee Thomas Sr., and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
