Event : Sovereign citizen killed by police during eviction

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Deputies initially arrived at the home of William Hardison to evict him. Police arrived in very large numbers, presumably because Hardison was a “sovereign citizen” who did not recognize police authority. A shootout ensued when he locked himself in and refused to come out. A total of 75 officers who had fired more than 1,000 at him were suspended after killing him. President Joe Biden had to be personally informed of this police war against one man in Pittsburgh.
