Oklahoma Man Beat to Death By Cops for Running After His Wife; Cops Confiscate Video of Incident

The sad basics of a Valentine’s day tragedy
from KFOR-TV’s website:

Nair Rodriguez explained how her family went to the Warren
Theater for Valentine’s Day, but she and her daughter started
fighting in the parking lot.

Nair admits she slapped her daughter. Her husband, Luis, stepped
in.

She said “My husband was trying to calm (us) down, because
that’s what he was . . . a grizzly bear . . . but with a teddy bear
heart.”

The Moore Police Department said two security guards, an
off-duty officer, and two on-duty officers responded to the
domestic dispute.

Authorities said Luis was being uncooperative, and there was a
struggle.

The family claims the officers started beating him while he was
on the ground and they recorded the entire thing on their cell
phones.

At one point, Luis stopped breathing and police immediately
called for medical help. Sadly, he died a short time later.

Nair said her family doesn’t have the video anymore because
police seized their cell phones.

Moore police say they’re in the process of getting a warrant for
the cell phone video. They say they had to take the phones to
protect the video from tampering and they won’t look at it until
they get the warrant.

Certainly, one couldn’t imagine that the police side of the
incident would have any incentive to “tamper” with the video.

the death of a man at the Warren Theater is being
investigated…..

Luinahi Rodriguez [his daughter] said Luis did not resist police
force and was hit repeatedly by police officers.

“They jumped on him like he was some kind of killer or drug
dealer and beat him up,” Luinahi Rodriguez said. “He never fought
the officers, they beat him on the head and that’s how he lost his
breath.”
