Police said they used several compliance techniques to get Luis Rodriguez under control and handcuff him. According to the report, after Luis Rodriguez was handcuffed, officers sat him up and called a supervisor and medical personnel, who also happened to already be at the scene.
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. The scene was secured by crime scene tape and supervisors were also called to the scene, according to the report.

OP
The most sickening aspect is that the cops' actions are now pretty much always 'justified.'

The safety of the police officer appears to be the primary concern in these situations.
