The family of Torres called police to report that he'd neglected his medication and was losing touch with reality. Police arrived and quickly tasered him, which killed him. A suit filed by the family asserts that the police entered the house without cause or permission, escalated the level of violence, exaggerated the resistance Torres put up, and withheld life-saving measures. The family settled for $500K.
