In this image from Eau Claire Police Department video, police restrain Demetrio Jackson in a parking lot in Altoona, Wis., on Oct. 8, 2021. The Associated Press documented more than 1,000 deaths over a decade after people were subdued through physical restraints, Tasers and batons, chokeholds, body blows and other “less-lethal force.” In case after case, officers weren’t taught or didn’t follow best safety practices for physical force and weapons, creating a recipe for death.

This photo provided by the family shows Brian Hays, center, of Muscatine, Iowa, with his two brothers. In time, Hays' wife, Sandra Jones, managed to get Hays' autopsy report from the medical examiner’s office, confirming the use force and a struggle in 2015. But an attorney told her winning a lawsuit to pry out more information was unlikely. His death didn’t even make the local news. “All I know is, something terrible happened that night,” she said. “I have pictured him laying on that cement road more times than I can tell you. I picture him there, struggling to breathe.” (Courtesy Sandra Jones via AP)

When his wife, Sandra Jones, set out to unravel the circumstances of his death after his 2015 encounter with police, she said police wouldn’t hand over their reports.

A demonstrator holds a sign in support of Donald "Dontay" Ivy Jr. during a rally outside Albany District Attorney David Soares' office in Albany, N.Y., on Monday, Aug. 10, 2015. Ivy was cooperative when police stopped him, but, they said, he wouldn’t answer how much money he had withdrawn from an ATM and denied a prior arrest. Police interpreted Ivy’s behavior as deceptive. What they didn’t grasp was that Ivy suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. After an officer touched Ivy to detain him, Ivy fled. Officers caught up and beat him with batons, shocked him several times with a Taser, put him facedown and got on top of him. (Will Waldron/The Albany Times Union via AP)
