Police got a call of a man walking down the street acting erratically, frothing at the mouth, swinging a pole and looking into cars," police said. When the two officers arrived, they confronted the man, but he refused to stop when they ordered him to. Garcia said the man cussed at the officers and charged them. They shot him with a Taser and beat him with a baton before he died.
