How they died
Less-than-lethal force
A friend called 911 for an ambulance because Ramirez as "bouncing off the walls" and "almost borderline seizure." Seven officers responded. At least three pointed Tasers at Ramirez as he sat on the front porch, unresponsive to questions. He was stunned with Tasers several times. Police say they never used a Taser on him.When one officer told Ramirez to get on his stomach, he stood up and "approximately six" officers "descended" forcing him facedown on the concrete. Police have said they never struck Ramirez. Coroners found no evidence police hit or choked him. The lawsuit says Ramirez's nose was broken, his right arm appeared dislocated or broken and that he suffered bruises and cuts.
