At Rest

Deadly force
Robert McBride was acting strangely, and a woman he visited told dispatchers she was concerned for his safety. She said that he was unarmed. Motorists who saw McBride pacing around his air-conditioning repair van reported the behavior. Police responded and tried to talk to McBride who allegedly told them that he had a gun and charged at Alachua County sheriff's Deputies Adam Rarey and David Brown. One fired a handgun wounding McBride. The other fired a rifle. The bullet struck him in the leg hit an artery and killed him.
This record exists so that Robert McBride, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
