How they died
Deadly force
A Native American woodcarving artist was spotted walking on the street with a knife and a board. The officer told the partially deaf man to drop the knife. He then shot and killed him. While no federal charges were pressed, Birk was fired, and the city settled with the family for $1.5 million.
