MOORE, Okla. (AP) — The widow of a man who died after a scuffle with police in Oklahoma is being accused of trying to incite violence against officers.
Court documents show that the city of Moore, its police department and the Moore Warren Theatre have asked a federal judge to punish Nair Rodriguez for an 18-minute Facebook Live video, The Oklahoman (http://bit.ly/2jJhIr9 ) reports. The documents were filed in response to Rodriguez's lawsuit against the entities.
Rodriguez denies she threatened violence or encouraged others to harm anyone. In the video, she speaks out against law enforcement and pleads for justice for her late husband, Luis Rodriguez. She said she took to Facebook Live after being barred from attending the deposition of an officer she blames for her husband's death.
"I don't want pity, but I hope I see some kind of justice soon," she told the newspaper. "They want to sanction me, but I have nothing."
