Mapping Police Violence:

Springfield police received numerous calls about a white man in the street acting erratic and throwing objects at passing vehicles. When the officer arrived, Rogers began throwing objects at his squad car. The officer got out and spoke to Rogers, who turned around and acted as if he wanted to be handcuffed as the officer approached. After one wrist was handcuffed, Rodgers turned around and attacked the officer, who fought with Rogers before he shot and killed him. He was schizophrenic and bipolar, family members said, and police should have been aware of his mental illness because of past encounters.
