How they died
Less-than-lethal force
Hammock, using cocaine, tried to enter a Waste Management facility. Officer C.P. Birley tried to stop him. Hammock ran away, then punched the officer. The officer and a backup officer shot Hammock at least 17 times with stun guns, killing him. Tarrant County Medical Examiner Nizam Peerwani said that Hammock had used so much cocaine that he would have died even without being stunned.
