The footage shows five exhausted officers pinning a handcuffed man face down to the ground in the parking lot of the Moore Warren Movie Theater in Moore, Okla., while his wife is heard begging police to stop.

Police say the man who died, 44-year-old Luis Rodriguez, was confrontational when they approached to question him concerning a call for a domestic disturbance, however, the family’s attorney, Michael Brooks-Jimenez, says Rodriguez was not involved in the initial dispute.

Officers next pepper sprayed, beat, then proceeded to handcuff Rodriguez, possibly after he had already died, Brooks-Jimenez asserts.
“He was not involved in the disturbance.

However, when police came, they focused their attention on Luis. Taking him face down onto the pavement, pepper-spraying his mouth, nose and eyes and putting the weight of five grown men on top of him, and then handcuffing him as he was unconscious or already dead,” the Rodriguez family lawyer said.

“Luis committed no crime. He wasn’t armed. No gun. No knife. No weapon of any kind. But Luis was the one who lost his life that night,” Brooks-Jimenez adds.

In the video, fatigued officers cease a five-person dog pile to reveal a limp Rodriguez, whose lifeless body police attempt to prop up to save face.

“Papa! Is he OK?,” Rodriguez’s wife cries out as he’s loaded on to a stretcher. “He doesn’t move. He doesn’t move! You kill him! You kill him! You killed my husband! Please somebody tell me that he’s alive!”

Meanwhile, a few of the participating officers can be overheard lobbing threats, saying she could “get herself in trouble” if she didn’t comply with their orders.

well my embedding skills are lacking, but there ^ is a link...ugh...well it is interesting because the guy is most likely already dead when the cops prop him up with their legs to make it look like he is still alive, like a scene from Weekend At Bernie's LOL

Geez. Good post. I don't even know what *embedding* means....

So the husband calls the cops because the wife slaps his daughter, in an attempt to do the right thing. Argues with cops because the cops think he is the abuser. Dies under a pile of cops.

Yay. Just fucking yay.

Frankly, I hope all five pigs get stripped of their badges for this one. Not a single one checks for breathing, only one checks lamely for a pulse. CPR should have been started immediately. All cops should know basic CPR and lifesign monitoring; it's a requirement of cops around here.

Well, I guess if it is was the little shit daughter who started all this, I hope she's happy that she got her "papa" killed for being a little bitch and the mother never lets her forget it.
