I heard about this at work but I was told incorrectly that the 20 year old college student, Marisol Valles Garcia, who stepped up to become Mexico’s youndgestt police chief had been gunned down.
This is not the case!
Apparently she wasn’t the only woman who bravely chose to take a job as a police chief, other women in Mexico are stepping forward to take a job Mexican men are afraid to take.
As I said in a prior post, the men in Mexico should hang their heads in shame for not acting like men. Sadly, this phenomenon is not limited to Mexico. We have out fair share of men in the United States who have become so feminized, they have no clue how a “real ma” ought to act.
The Daily Mail reports that Mexico is today mourning the death of a female police chief, the latest victim of a seemingly unending drug war between gangsters and the authorities.
Hermila Garcia, 38, became the top law enforcement officer in the town of Meoqui only two months ago.
One of a small number of women who have had the bravery to take on the drug cartels, she was gunned down at 7.20am on Monday.
She was attacked as she drove to work by herself.
Garcia, a lawyer by profession and single with no children, was one of a handful of women who have taken leadership roles in police departments in towns where men have stayed away because of fear.
The most high profile of these is 20-year-old Marisol Valles Garcia, a student who became police chief of Praxedis, in the Juarez valley, also in the state of Chihuahua.
'La Jefa', as she was known, didn't carry weapons or have bodyguards. But her security ideology has proven fallible.
'If you don't owe anything, you don't fear anything,' she was fond of saying when asked why she didn't have security.
Mexico's drug violence has claimed almost 30,000 lives since President Felipe Calderon took office in late 2006 and sent about 45,000 soldiers to fight the cartels.
Some wondered if Hermila Garcia's death was a warning from the drug cartels to other women, like Marisol Valles Garcia, who have taken on leading roles in law enforcement. - especially in Chihuahua. The state is home to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico's most violent drug war city.
