You’re not doing fine Oklahoma, OK?

MOORE, OK – What was supposed to be a pleasant trip to the movies ended a tragedy for an Oklahoma family.

Police were called after the mother, Nair Rodriguez, slapped her daughter during an argument. As Mrs. Rodriguez left the theater, police violently confronted her husband, Luis Rodriguez, who was following her to the parking lot to calm her down.

Even after Mrs. Rodriguez identified herself as the person who hit her daughter to the police and told them that the husband was not involved in the dispute, five officers pinned the husband down and shot pepper spray directly into his face.

He died.

The officers claimed that “He was combative” and that he had “refused to give his ID.” The police claim they were following protocol and were not using undue force.

According to Moore Police Chief Jerry Stillings, his officers actions were “reasonable.”

A video taken by Mrs. Rodriguez was released to the public today.

Events like this undermine public confidence in those sworn to protect the public and once again highlights the need for national discussion about the difference between the police and society’s definition of the word “reasonable.”
