How they died
Deadly force
Torres, a boxer, had been cuffed and put in the back of a police car on suspicion of resisting arrest. He fell asleep. On waking his request to use the bathroom was ignored. He became combative. An officer went to Taser him but fired her Glock at him instead, killing him. Eleven years of legal proceedings ended with the family receiving $775,000 from the city.
