New video footage from PBS documentary “First Look: Crossing the Line” reveals police brutality in death of Anastasio Hernandez Rojas
Anastasio Hernandez Rojas was a construction worker and had resided in the U.S. for more than two decades. Hernandez Rojas, 42, had been deported and was caught trying to return to California. According to the lawsuit there were 20 to 25 agents taking part in beating Hernandez Rojas and that he was laying on the ground when he was tased. In the new video footage, Hernandez Rojas’ cries for help can be heard and the agents can be seen surrounding him. It’s unclear whether he was handcuffed at the time. The autopsy report by the San Diego County Medical Examiner found the death to be a homicide.
They were kind of just swarming over him.
This makes me physically sick and reinforces my hatred of cops of any kind.
