He was an El Paso Texas County Sheriffs deputy and a jail guard PLUS… They don’t know who the shooters were, so how did they assign the Identification and Motive that they’re drug cartel? Kind of jumping the “gun” there, right?
I can think of quite a few El Paso County and City cops who piss people off with their arrogant and abusive behavior. It wouldn’t be too very unlikely that somebody who the cop had abused in the County Jail recognized him, saw a whole sky full of red and had a gun, and popped him off. People from Juarez and El Paso are really one city. It just has an international border running through the middle of downtown.
The “Innocent Victims” count they scream about is very misleading as well, the “drug dealers” who have been popped off by the Mexican Federales and their American “advisers” are convicted after they’re already DEAD. That’s always an easy conviction to obtain. Judges and prosecutors look the other way when a Cop shoots somebody. The only people who most DEFINITELY aren’t “civilians” in this fight, therefore, are the Badges. When the Police cap off a kid or several kids while blowing away a suspected drogadero the excuse is the same as when “our” Army blows away kids in Afghanistan or Iraq, “the ‘BAD GUYS’ were hiding behind civilians”.
It also completely ignores the Very Racist Neo-Colonial U.S. Puppet “Parti Accion Nacional” government in Mexico making outright War on the Mayan and Aztec and Toltec and Olmec ethnic majority in the south, and Native groups in the North including the Yaqui and Tahamaura and Coahuila tribes in the north. The ones our own very Racist Border Patrol and the Racist Minutemen make war against.
Sure would be handy for the Federales to be able to lump all those bad wicked Indios (which also means in Mexican slang “wild ass semi-educated hillbillies” and also a lump sum condemnation of poor people) into being Drug Lords and such.
Not that there isn’t an overlap of Ethnic and Political and Drug groups. But then again, the Huedos “Blondies” who run Mexico politically, weellllll… now, they wouldn’t exactly be clean of that particular Cultural and Ethnic and Political overlap either.
The very richest, their kids are called Hidalgos… “juniors” literally hijo de algo “somebody’s boy”.
Not one to go around spreading rumors, you’ll never catch me repeating gossip, (so you’d better be sure and listen close the first time) But it comes out like the nasty rumor that Ronald Reagan’s son was a cocaine dealer, and since his daddy was the Governor and the cops looked the other way, he had a natural advantage in “the trade”. But of course, that’s just a Rumor.
The Hidalgo System, the Spanish version of our “Old Boy Network” pretty much guarantees that the most successful criminals in Mexico would be the Rich White Boys. So why are all the “Top Drogaderos” being gunned down in Mexico the classic Meztizo (mixed “mezclado” Indian and Spanish) that the Minutemen and their spiritual kin The Klan and the ICE hate so much?
