No charges: Video: Cop Fatally Shoots Handcuffed Prisoner In Texas

 El Paso Police Officer Jose Flores shoots handcuffed Daniel Saenz from behind.


On March 8, 2013, bodybuilder Daniel Saenz, 37, was arrested after acting strangely at a local grocery store and mental health facility, apparently high on drugs. As he was brought into the jail the handcuffed suspect struck his head against something, and jailers refused to accept him into the jail without the bleeding wound being treated first.

As Saenz was dragged back outside for transport to the hospital to be treated, he struggled with officers but never left the ground, his hands clamped behind his back in handcuffs. Officers couldn’t control Saenz, but he didn’t appear to be much of a credible threat to either of them, with his hands in cuffs behind his back and his pants falling down. He was certainly a nuisance and refusing to cooperate, but wasn’t much of a threat.

After struggling with Saenz for several minutes and apparently getting frustrated  with their inability to get Saenz sufficiently subdued, one of the officers, El Paso Police Officer Jose Flores, pulls his pistol and shoots a downed and restrained Saenz from behind, twice, killing him.

    I guess this makes it offical: LEOs do have the 007 license to kill. And they a terrorist organization, we do have a sane, realistic, rational to be in fear of them when inacting with them, even for the most trival of interactions; Officer Unfriendly, who just because he can, just might kill you.

      With no fear of reprisal.

    I never thought a gestapo offices shooting a handcuffed prisoner would be considered a crime in a police state.

    Our soldiers get sent to prison for some technicality when shooting an enemy combatant but our cops get off free for killing an American citizen who violated some
    minor regulation. What's wrong with this picture? Looks like a police state to me.

      Absolutely and as I mentioned before, he should be brought up on 1st degree murder.

      "he should be brought up on 1st degree murder."

      At least. I would not feel safe (ever again) if I were him. People have families and friends. Not to mention others who feel like justice needs to be done.

      I believe this crap will keep snowballing until all hell breaks loose.
