TJ Bonner, President of NBPC released a statement blaming Mexico for his agents actions in the murder of 15 year old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Güereca, and bringing into play once again, the legitimate prosecution of former agents Ramos and Compean
The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), in a statement, said Mexican officials have wrongly portrayed the unidentified agent as a racist and portrayed the “deceased criminal as an innocent boy who had never done a thing wrong in his life.”
“None of these statements have any merit,” the NBPC said. “Mexico bears quite a bit of responsibility whenever one of its citizens dies along the border due to its allowing criminal organizations free rein and its refusal to police its northern border.”
The NBPC said the incident occurred Tuesday, when Border Patrol agents were forced to defend themselves and their fellow agents after they were assaulted at the U.S.-Mexico border by several people armed with rocks.
The agent who shot the teenager was on foot along the Rio Grande when he came under attack by rock throwers. He was a member of the agency’s bike patrol.
“Border Patrol Agents are not trained, nor paid to withstand violent assaults without the ability to defend themselves. Rocks are weapons and constitute deadly force,” the NBPC said.
The statement said agents will respond in kind if confronted with deadly force.
“No agent wants to have to shoot another human being, but when an agent is assaulted and fears for his life then his hand is forced,” it said.
They conveniently leave out the fact that there is no evidence that Sergio Adrian Hernandez was throwing rocks at the agent who arrived on a bicycle and while detaining one of the suspects, wildly fired his weapon into Mexico without regard to human life.
As the statement says, they will continue to murder those they perceive as a threat.
Hopefully, an indictment against this agent will be forthcoming.
