After his playing career ended Latimer became a police officer with the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1924 he was involved in a dispute with another police officer and shot him four times in the back. Latimer was found guilty of second degree murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.[1] He was eventually pardoned in 1930 for his heroism during a prison riot.

gollark: Anonymized GPS may have removed anavrins' ability to locate random turtles, and also only exist because of me finding out about that probably quite a while after him and writing a proof of concept global tracking system, but is probably good for CC privacy.
gollark: I hope they copied the potatOS backdoors in GPS too!
gollark: I am everywhere. None can escape.
gollark: With Arch Linux™ (btw), I can feel secure in the knowledge that someone has probably *tested* the changes they made to at least not immediately break.
gollark: I find that stuff randomly breaks more on Windows as they have zero QA.
