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 wouldâve 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.
âThey killed my cousin! And they run away like cowards!â said a family member. âAll he did was study and run. Thatâs all he ever did!â
How on earth does one sustain a broken neck, have missing teeth and brain injuries from a boxing training exercise?
You donât even hear of those kinds of injuries in the pro boxing and fighting world.
It sounds like thereâs a lot more to this story that the Massachusetts State Police isnât telling.
Whoâs investigating this? Hopefully itâs an outside agency.
As weâve seen, the Massachusetts State Police donât particularly care about conflicts of interest, or conducting real investigations where protocol is followed when itâs the death of a fallen brother in blue.
Enrique previously served as a victim witness advocate in the Worcester County District Attorneyâs Office.
According to his family, it was his dream to become a State Police Trooper.
My thoughts and prayers are with Enriqueâs family and friends. As you can see, theyâre clearly and understandably devastated.
His injuries donât match the narrative. And theyâre outraged. Itâs refreshing and commendable to see them demanding answers.

On a side note:
All of the descriptions and reporting Iâve seen of what happened to him say things like: âhe suffered a medical emergency during a training exerciseâŚâ or âhe became unresponsive in the boxing ring during a defensive tactics training exerciseâ.
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 didnât do it to themself.
And one doesnât 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 youâre physically fighting someone (boxing), because that other person DID them to you.
Did he âbecome unresponsiveâ while just standing there doing nothing?
Or did he become unresponsive because someone knocked him out?
This very passive, distancing language is concerning.
Letâs hope his family gets some answers soon. đđź

.@KamalaHarris is a moral and empathetic leader.
She is poised, she is prepared, and she is qualified.
I vigorously endorse her to be our 47th President of the United States.
Thrilled to see @VP endorsed by @POTUS. Her tireless dedication & unwavering commitment to our nation have been truly inspiring. As we look forward to the future, I am confident that her leadership will continue to drive positive change and progress for all Americans.
Joe Biden has been one of Americaâs most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, weâve also been reminded â again â that heâs a patriot of the highest order.

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
