They Had To!

Cops beat yet another unarmed American citizen to death right in front of his wife and daughter and, once again, from we the sheeple, we get... ~*crickets*

From Photography is Not a Crime:

Oklahoma law enforcement officers beat a man to death before confiscating his wife’s cell phone after she video recorded the incident, leaving the key piece of evidence in the hands of the killers.

Police said they needed the phone as “evidence” but the United States Department of Justice has made it very clear that police can only seize a camera without a warrant if they believe the camera contains evidence of a crime and if they believe this evidence would be destroyed if they don’t act fast to obtain it.

In this case, the phone likely contains evidence of a crime committed by police which would increase the chances of it getting destroyed now that it is in their hands.

The incident took place Saturday night outside a movie theater in Moore when a woman got into an argument with her daughter and slapped her before storming off.

The woman’s husband and father of the girl, Luis Rodriguez, ran after his wife in an attempt to restore harmony to the family, but a group of cops intervened and demanded his identification.

Police, of course, claim he started fighting with them, which is why they had to kill him.

Of course, they had to beat him to death. What else could five armed police officers, in fear for their lives, be expected to do with an unarmed man face down on the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back? It's also obvious that they had to confiscate the video of the crime in order to insure the integrity of "the chain of custody" because evidence, while in the custody of the alleged perpetrators, never ever gets tampered with, corrupted or turns up missing.

Where are the "rights" activists who always pitch a massive hissy fit every time their tender little sensibilities get marginally slighted?
