Death While in Police Custody
In recent years we have seen a significant rise in the number of individuals who die while in police custody. If a person is not free to leave, they are considered to be in police custody. During that time the police may not use excessive force to arrest or restrain that individual. In New York and around the country we have seen too many examples of the use of excessive force by police officers that have resulted in death.
- Excessive force in restraining an individual with a chokehold resulting in brain injury and death.
- Excessive and improper use of a taser resulting in a heart attack and death.
- Failing to provide timely medical care for all injuries sustained during the arrest resulted in death.
- Failing to provide water and a safe environment resulted in death.
