At Rest

Deadly force
Jackson's longtime girlfriend called police for help when he'd locked himself in the bathroom, apparently suicidal on Christmas Eve. Jackson had some history of mental health issues and substance abuse. Two local officers confronted Jackson in the house, commanded him to drop his knife, and fatally shot him when he refused to comply.
This record exists so that Thomas Jackson, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
