How they died
Deadly force
Four officers approached Ware in his car. He'd run a stop sign; the police thought they'd chased that same car earlier in the evening. The unarmed, blameless, paraplegic Ware was shot fatally six times, and (according to the subsequent lawsuit) police planted a gun in the car. The family reached a $5M settlement with the city.
