THIS IS TRAGIC ON ALL LEVELS. A THOROUGH AND INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED! @PostCommission @MassMPTC @MassAGO

Enrique Delgado-Garcia, a 25-year-old recruit at the Massachusetts State Police Academy in Braintree, has died as a result of injuries apparently sustained during a defensive tactics boxing training exercise.

However, his family says his injuries are not consistent with what he would’ve sustained during a training exercise.

They say he had missing teeth, his neck was broken, brain injuries and contusions all over his body.

Friends and family are devastated. And fortunately, they want answers.

“They killed my cousin! And they run away like cowards!” said a family member. “All he did was study and run. That’s all he ever did!”

How on earth does one sustain a broken neck, have missing teeth and brain injuries from a boxing training exercise?

You don’t even hear of those kinds of injuries in the pro boxing and fighting world.

It sounds like there’s a lot more to this story that the Massachusetts State Police isn’t telling.

Who’s investigating this? Hopefully it’s an outside agency.

As we’ve seen, the Massachusetts State Police don’t particularly care about conflicts of interest, or conducting real investigations where protocol is followed when it’s the death of a fallen brother in blue.

Enrique previously served as a victim witness advocate in the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office.

According to his family, it was his dream to become a State Police Trooper.

My thoughts and prayers are with Enrique’s family and friends. As you can see, they’re clearly and understandably devastated.

His injuries don’t match the narrative. And they’re outraged. It’s refreshing and commendable to see them demanding answers.

————

On a side note:

All of the descriptions and reporting I’ve seen of what happened to him say things like: “he suffered a medical emergency during a training exercise…” or “he became unresponsive in the boxing ring during a defensive tactics training exercise”.

Typically, suffering a medical emergency includes things like having a heart attack, seizure, or severe allergic reaction, for instance.

Someone whose neck has been fractured, is missing teeth and has severe brain injuries didn’t do it to themself.

And one doesn’t typically sustain such injuries because they, for instance, fainted and fell to the ground, breaking their neck, knocking their teeth out and causing brain injuries on the way.

Those things happen, especially if you’re physically fighting someone (boxing), because that other person DID them to you.

Did he “become unresponsive” while just standing there doing nothing?

Or did he become unresponsive because someone knocked him out?

This very passive, distancing language is concerning.

Let’s hope his family gets some answers soon. 🙏🏼

My piece in @GlobeOpinion:

A promotional exam in Oct. would cement the discriminatory impact of the 2020 exam. Instead, my colleagues and I proposed a one-year delay of this test in order to promote diversity. BPD should commit to a different process. https://t.co/BQH8szqw89
