Oklahoma father dies in police encounter after mother slaps daughter

Story here. A woman gets into an argument with her daughter and slaps her. The police show up and immediately confront the woman's husband, and somehow it leads to him dead on the ground. Imagine if the sexes had been totally reversed: Man gets into argument with son and slaps him. Police show up and confront the man's wife, and she is dead on the ground a few minutes later. That'd be weird, but this? How weird does it feel? If your intellectual reaction is that it's outrageous but emotionally it's... well, meh... then that's the degree to which you've been conditioned to accept male disposability and anti-male injustice. And tell me, we still live in a "patriarchy"? Excerpt:

'It was supposed to be a fun family outing to the movies, but Nair Rodriguez's 19-year-old daughter got under her skin. They fought, she said, and she slapped her daughter.

Moments later, police arrived on a domestic dispute call at the Moore, Oklahoma, theater and did not confront Nair Rodriguez but rather her husband, Luis. They took him down, and after the encounter on February 15, he was dead.

Cell phone video taken by Nair Rodriguez and released this week shows the final minutes of the takedown.

Nair Rodriguez accuses officers of brutality. Police say they were following protocol and used no undue force, although three officers have been suspended with pay.'
