Traffic Officer Riddled in Juárez
Add Another Police Agent To The Count At The Border
This article appeared in El Ágora de Chihuahua on August 5, 2008. This translation is rendered as closely as possible to the original wording. (See the orginal article here).
Ciudad Juárez – August 5, 2008 – Once again, count another police officer killed at the border: He was intercepted by an armed commando that effectively riddled the vehicle with more than 50 shots without giving time for anything.
A traffic officer identified as Miguel Angel Alvarez Hernandez was executed in front of the ''Monument to Cigar,'' shortly after 6 am.
These facts happened on just the second day of work in Ciudad Juárez for Governor Reyes Baeza, when the officer was traveling to work driving a black Durango van.
The lightning-fast action was captured by the cameras that monitor undocumented border-crossers at the Rio Bravo (Rio Grande) nearby.
The hired assassins ran, while traffic police fled their jobs. Faced with a commotion due to the resulting protest, the mavericks returned to the ranks of Traffic Police, whose agents returned to work under protest because they are still working disarmed by instructions from 'above.'
