How they died

Less-than-lethal force

Police were called out at 7 a.m. on Sznaider as he created a neighborhood disturbance, walking in traffic, acting erratically. He was tasered twice and put in a chokehold in a public park as he violently resisted arrest. Unarmed, and initially committing no crime, he died four days later of cardiac arrest.
