El PASO- Sunday July 13 a young man named Xavier Hernandez, a licensed health insurance agent, was killed by El Paso police. Why? He was on the highway above an overpass. Don’t worry, he is dearly loved by clients and carriers alike and his family has already secured representation and are going to fight for justice. Cops were called by concerned peasants who filmed him standing on an overpass in the morning light. Then you see a cop approach him and kind of man handle him and then back up and taze him.
More videos reveal a pile up and beating. He died on the scened. Too many cops prevented immediate family from seeing him at the Las Palmas Del Sol hospital. Today his remains will make their way to a funeral home operated by a family member. El Paso is strong. They have to be to endure such corruption and taxes. With the election of a new mayor, Renard Johnson, there was a flicker of hope, but that hope has already dissipated amidst recent events.
It is clear to me that the city is completely and utterly mismanaged and beyond repair. From the roads, to the dilapidated downtown, to the health system! I am eager to see justice for Xavier in the form of a new law limiting the amount of times one is tazed by those entrusted with the job of service and protection of us peasants. Especially when there is no crime. Just a gentleman in crisis.
