How they died

Deadly force

Police responded to a call about a shirtless man, carrying a Bible and a pipe, smashing out car windows. After a warrantless entry they found Williams screaming and locked in the bathroom in his grandmother's house. Officers tasered him eleven times with no effect. When Williams got one officer in a chokehold, the other shot him to death.
