At Rest

Less-than-lethal force
Police approached Bumbrey on the platform of a transit station in connection with a nearby shoplifting incident. Bumbrey had recently moved back to the area from South Carolina in such poor physical and psychological shape that police had released him to a hospital on similar charges a few days before. Officers tasered him when he resisted, he had an unspecified medical emergency, and died at the scene.
This record exists so that William R. Bumbrey III, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
