Kendra James
Kendra James was a 21-year-old African-American Oregonian mother of 2. She is a woman who was shot to death by police on May 5, 2003. The incident sparked a controversy over the use of deadly force by the Portland Police Bureau in Portland, Oregon.
James was a passenger stopped by Portland police officers Rick Bean, Kenneth Reynolds, and Scott McCollister. The driver, Terry Jackson, was arrested and placed in a squad car after he was discovered to have an outstanding warrant.〔Nick Budnick. "(Anatomy of a Police Shooting. )" ''Willamette Week''. 2003-10-04. Retrieved 2014-02-01.〕 After he and another passenger in the car were removed peaceably by the officers, James jumped from the back seat into the driver's seat. McCollister then made several unsuccessful attempts to remove James while partially within the vehicle through an open door. He claimed to have tried to pull James out by her hair, and also attempted to use a Taser.〔 He said that he had also attempted to use pepper spray to subdue James, but was unable to operate the canister; an investigation by the Portland Police Bureau found McCollister's pepper spray canister was operational, but no traces of spray were found.〔"(Questions Regarding the Shooting of Kendra James. )" Portland Police Bureau. Retrieved 2014-02-01.〕 McCollister drew his firearm and held it to James' head, demanding she exit the vehicle.〔 McCollister said he then felt the car move and, concerned that he could have fallen out and been run over, fired a single shot.〔
The James family's lawyers questioned whether evidence existed regarding James attempting to move the car, and whether the tactics McCollister used, especially his attempt to enter the car (McCollister said that he was 80% in the car), were consistent with police training.〔 Several witnesses alleged that McCollister did not fire while within the car;〔 powder residue testing indicated that McCollister's handgun was at least 30 to 48 inches away from James when discharged, a fact which lawyers for James' family alleged was inconsistent with McCollister's version of events. Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schrunk declined to hold a public inquest into James' death;〔 McCollister was cleared by a federal grand jury.
In 2005, the bureau announced changes in the guidelines for police use of deadly force, including a prohibition against shooting at a moving vehicle, that were intended to prevent similar incidents. In 2005 a civil suit against McCollister seeking $10 million in damages went to trial. On June 29, 2005, the jury ruled in favor of McCollister, ending the civil case.
