Henry County, GA — A family is devastated and asking for answers after their 24-year-old son was tasered to death by police after leaving a Georgia music festival over the weekend. Fernando Rodriquez had harmed no one and was simply walking down the street when police approached him. Moments later, after three officers simultaneously tasered him, he would be dead.
While the exact details of what led up to the incident are unclear, according to police, they received a call Friday night around 10.00 p.m. about a man walking down the street without clothes on. The man was Rodriquez and he had just left the Imagine Music Festival at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Police claim that when they approached Rodriquez, he would not comply with their demands so they had no other choice but to use force against him. That force came in the form three cops simultaneously tasering Rodriquez until he became unresponsive.
Two officers from the Hampton police department and one officer from the Henry County police department were involved in the incident. Moments after they began tasering him, Rodriquez became unresponsive and he stopped breathing. He was then taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
“Officers ended up tasing him. We had multiple officers tased him. He did go into medical distress. They attempted to respond to that. He was taken to the hospital and later he died as a result of that incident,” a police spokesperson said.
One witness said she filmed the interaction and streamed it on her Facebook page according to WSB-TV. The woman is scared of police retaliating against her so she asked to remain anonymous.
“There’s somebody screaming and there’s a lot of police officers,” she said. “I think it’s just once again police taking their title and abusing it.”........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/24yo-man-leaving-a-music-festival-killed-by-3-cops-who-all-tasered-him-at-the-same-time/254609
