Miami cops defend actions after immigrant artist dies following arrest

“They had an encounter,” Martinez said to WSVN-TV on Friday regarding the death of Israel Hernández-Llach Tuesday morning. “They were gonna place someone under arrest for a crime. Even though it was only graffiti, it’s still a crime. The subject ran from them. Now he’s eluding police. It’s resisting arrest, if you will.”
