Walter C. "Wally" Burks
August 7, 2003
Minneapolis
Wally entered a convenience store in downtown Minneapolis and asked repeatedly for help as he was experiencing chest pain. Store clerks and customers called police but held Wally down on the floor until police arrived. Police used Freeze Plus P (combination pepper spray and tear gas) and Taser on Wally, who was incoherent and unresponsive. He was placed face down on the seat of the squad car and left that way for 27 minutes. He was dead on arrival at Hennepin County Medical Center.
