    Officer Williams was involved in a use-of-force incident on October 17, 2021, where he arrested Liana Beam during a domestic disturbance call. He was found to have used excessive force by thrusting Beam face-first into the asphalt while she was handcuffed and non-assaultive. Additionally, he failed to de-escalate the situation and did not provide necessary care after Beam appeared unconscious. These violations led to his termination on May 4, 2022.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
