Confiscated Video Showing Oklahoma Cops Killing Man

The chilling video that had been confiscated by police showing five Oklahoma cops piling on top of a man in a movie theater parking lot earlier this month, leading to his death, was released today, showing the cops were struggling with what appeared to have been a dead man for five minutes. After all, Luis Rodriguez, 44, was not only not resisting, he was not even moving during the duration of the video. But still, you can hear one of the cops say, “calm down, sir,” as he pushes his face into the pavement. Rodriguez’s wife, who was video recording, kept pleading for her husband to respond, but he said nothing. It wasn’t until several minutes into the video that she realizes he is dead. One of the cops walks up to her to try and reassure her everything is under control as she is panicking. He ends up grabbing her phone, not in a coercion manner, but she is under no condition to even question this move, having just seen her husband killed. The incident began when Rodriguez’s wife slapped their 19-year-old daughter over an argument, then stormed off, which prompted her husband to run after her. But the cops intervened, demanded his identification. Family members say he tried to step around them to get to his wife. Police say he became combative.
