Less-than-lethal force

Tony Green was running from police when he allegedly swallowed a bag of what was described as a white substance before having a seizure, according to police. Witnesses said they saw officers grab Green, throw him against a fence and handcuff him before putting him into a squad car. Police drove the squad car a short way before stopping and taking Green out of the car.An ambulance arrived and took Green, who was not moving, to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy said Green died of asphyxia and "aspiration of a foreign body."
