She said he was dead


According to the report, he wasn't. Her assessment was wrong. It's very possible, they are responsible for it, with an excess of force. It's also possible, other factors caused it. Still no way to know at this point. Just wanting more info before condemning them. I expect she said it, because she was a bit hysterical and as with nearly all domestic cases, both parties turn on police.

Not that particular crew, but the gang in general.

I wonder if you will be on here saying we should hear more evidence before expressing outrage the next time something bad happens to LEO.

the fricking game warden was there for an UNRELATED CALL....what investigation was there?


I think you're confusing things. The GW was there for a call? I read it as the officers arrived for another call and the GW was already there. How can you argue any points, when you can't even get the information right when it's available to look at?

As soon as a potential crime is brought to their attention, it's a criminal matter and any questions or actions from that point forward, is an investigation. If they already knew the answers, there would have been no need to ask the individuals anything.

Usually there is a ton of information. Most people who shoot cops aren't there because they are contactually obligated to respond to crimes.

Likewise what percentage of threads about police are examples of them doing their job correctly?

Probably not. Will you be all up in threads praising the next one that helps a homeless person, or that arrests a drunk driver, praising him as someone who likely saved a life by doing so? Hyperbole takes away from arguments and the case in question.

I agree with waiting for more info. I find it off that she said he wasn't breathing and that he was dead instead of he's hurt, which is much more common to see & hear in these types of videos.

It doesn't really matter anyway. What should have been a simple issue resulted in a man dying. I'm not a cop hater but I think this deserves a lot more investigation and would find it hard to justify 5 cops needing to use such force as to kill an unarmed man.

I do too.

Assuming that's what happened. It would still be a jump to say that's the case, until the autopsy has returned. Likely? Yeah.. but there are other things that could have happened.

Sounds like the GW was already there, and the witness perhaps. It's unclear. But it is clear, that police were called there for another reason. So, yes... you were wrong with your statement, as I said.

Willing to wait to condemn cops but no one else.

Why do we care when they do what they are supposed to do? No reason to discuss that.

Tell us, why does that hurt your feelings?

Care to tell us your connection with LE? You seem more sensitive to this conversation than the cops on here.

Actually I did comment earlier in this thread about the cop in SD that helped the kid out at the burger joint right before being killed.

All cops are not bad. But plenty become bad after being cops for a while and much of that is due to the system that teaches them that they can get get away with mistreating people. Normally when they mistreat criminals people dont care because, well, they are criminals. But that culture leads to them mistreating others as well.

There should be outrage EVERY TIME a cop misuses their authority against anyone. There needs to be punishments, the same punishment that others would get if they committed the same crime, when cops do abuse their power. Cops themselves need to condemn the bad actions of other cops. Then, maybe the culture of cops would change and respect and honor may come back to them.

I don't disagree with that. But show that this incident meets that criteria first. Until today's release, the only info put out, was by the family's lawyer and the wife. There wasn't, and still isn't, imo, enough info released to have a logical and rational conclusion drawn.

You just lost any and all credibility, She said he was dead and he was in fact dead. I am starting to think about calling you names.
Explain to me how her observation was wrong.

I think cops who have been on the job a while just see too many bad people doing too many bad things and becomes very hard for them to give anyone the benefit of the doubt. They begin treating everyone like a hardened criminal.

That's a lot of generalization there. But I do think it happens.

No kidding? You mean we've only seen what the family's lawyer wanted us to see at this point?

Yeah, they gave her a line about him being OK. It appears he was dead before he left the site.

Officers said paramedics then loaded Luis Rodriguez into an ambulance where they administered medical assistance to him. According to the report, it was at this time that Luis Rodriguez stopped breathing and he was then taken to Moore Medical Center where he was stabilized.

Police said Luis Rodriguez was then taken for a CT scan after which he stopped breathing again and died a short time later

You think the police would let that out, knowing that there will be medical records from the paramedics and ER? Or are they also in cahoots?
