20. Brandon Marshall

Sep 2014

43-year-old with a history of mental problems went outside of his work office:

Described by firefighters as acting "manic," Marshall nonetheless began negotiating with paramedics, who were on the phone with Marshall's father when Santa Clara County sheriff's deputies Kristin Anderson and Aldo Groba arrived.

A wrongful-death lawsuit filed by Marshall's family says that when Anderson approached him from behind, Marshall swung a key fob at her, described as a short, rounded aluminum rod. Groba, a 14-year veteran, then shot Marshall in the stomach.


This scene reminds of a theme I've noticed in Ferguson protests and other brutality cases. The police arrive and the situation escalates.
