Thread: Man Tasered by border agents hospitalized- Update

The Mexicans kill people all the time. The Coast Guard clamped down on the waters by Florida so the Cubans tried smuggling people through Mexico. They killed a smuggler from Hialeah and another was badly beaten. the Cubans were arrested and deported. I guess it is fine when they are committing the beatings and killings.

The Mexican consulate in San Diego said in a statement Saturday night that agents from the Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection agencies appear to have used excessive force in the Friday confrontation.

How can the Mexican government make that statement? Just because a woman from some "migrants rights group" said so?

its the only statement they know how to make. Remember, they dont even like it when out agents fire pepper spray over the border when our agents were having rocks thrown at them. they called that excessive, too

They didn't say it was too excessive when illegals killed the rancher in Arizona.

Mexican man dies after being stun-gunned at border

SAN DIEGO - The Mexican government says a man from Mexico died after being shocked by a stun gun during a confrontation with U.S. Border Patrol agents at a California border crossing.

Mexico's Foreign Relations Department says Anastasio Hernandez died Monday at a hospital, days after he was shocked at San Isidro.

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman says Hernandez became combative Friday with agents who were preparing to hand him over to Mexican officials in Tijuana after he entered the United States illegally.

She says he ignored repeated orders to stop fighting but the incident is under investigation.

Mexico condemned the use of force.

IMO stun guns shouldnt be used on people.

SAN DIEGO:

Meth, hypertension contributed to man's stun gun death

SAN DIEGO -- Methamphetamine abuse and hypertension contributed to the death of a 32-year-old Mexican who was shocked with a stun gun in a fight with federal agents at the San Ysidro border crossing, the county coroner's office ruled.

Anastacio Hernandez-Rojas died at about 6:10 p.m. Saturday, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office, which listed the cause of death as "anoxic encephalopathy due to resuscitated cardiac arrest due to acute myocardial infarct."

That apparently means he died of a heart attack and was resuscitated but had no brain activity.

The Mexican Consul in San Diego condemned the in-custody death, saying U.S. agents used excessive force in subduing the man as he was being deported.

Relatives said Hernandez-Rojas lived illegally in San Diego County for about 20 years before he got into trouble and was deported. He was caught, along with his brother, trying to get back into the United States via the mountains east of Tijuana.

San Diego police said Border Patrol agents arrested the men on Otay Mountain and brought them to the San Ysidro station for processing.

Hernandez-Rojas signed papers agreeing to be returned to Mexico. At the gate leading to Mexico, agents removed the man's handcuffs and he became violent about 9:15 p.m., Collins said.

"The agents and the subject all fell to the ground during the fight, and the agents radioed for assistance," San Diego police spokesman Jim Collins stated. Customs and Border Protection agents joined the struggle, and a CBP agent fired a Taser at Hernandez-Rojas, he said.

Hernandez-Rojas stopped breathing, police said. Agents began cardiopulmonary resuscitation and called paramedics.

The National Human Rights Commission in Mexico accused Border Patrol agents of beating Hernandez-Rios, and the foreign ministry in Mexico City has demanded an explanation from San Diego and federal authorities, according to Tijuana newspapers.

NORTH COUNTY TIMES

Can you imagine what would happen if this would have been at the Mexican/Arizona border?

I called it right when I mentioned drugs being in the person's system. As for the high blood pressure or hypertension that is caused by the drug. Chronic use can cause inflammation of the heart. I have an extensive background on abuse and even though I am aware of things I double checked the information I have given above with information I have from National Drug Intelligence Center pamphlets they give when you take narcotic police classes.

I agree. Stun guns are electrocution devices. Electrocuting human beings should not be allowed
