In October 2014, for example, a federal jury in Denver awarded $4.6 million to the family of a street preacher who died in the city jail booking room. Denver sheriff's deputies restrained and subdued him, then failed to help him before he passed away.
While Colorado Springs has paid much less — $412,500 — to settle excessive force lawsuits since 2010, other cases are pending that could be costly to local taxpayers.
One of them is a 2013 incident involving Officer Tyler Walker, who slammed then-18-year-old Alexis Acker onto a hospital floor while she was handcuffed.
Conflicting police reports say Walker either "escorted her to the floor," or that he "rolled her ... to the floor."
