Raymond Johnson

Less-than-lethal force

Johnson was on PCP and violently kicking his feet and striking his fists in an uncontrollable manner when officers arrived, police say Johnson was agitated and refused to get out of his other, even after officers used pepper spray and a Taser. Video shows police hitting Johnson with baton and kicking him. Eventually, Johnson was removed from the other, handcuffed and placed on the ground. As he was laying on the ground, police noticed that he had stopped breathing. A coroner listed the cause of death as "hypertensive cardiovascular disease with other significant condition of Acute Phencyclidine (PCP) intoxication and physical altercation with law enforcement." The family was awarded $5.5M
