A cop shot and killed Demix Ruiz Hernandez’s son and got off. Now the same cop is accused of lying about beating another man—and faces a grieving father’s rage.
On Wednesday, federal prosecutors indicted Fall River, Massachusetts, Police Officer Nicholas M. Hoar for violating civil rights and making false reports after he allegedly beat a man in custody with a baton in the winter of 2020 and failed to report it.
“When a person follows a pattern of conduct, of aggression, lies, he has no credibility,” Demix Ruiz Hernandez told The Daily Beast in Spanish, repeating the claim made in the lawsuit that his son’s hands were in the air when Hoar shot and killed him.Neither an attorney for the City of Fall River nor Hoar or his own attorney immediately responded to requests for comment.
A spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office that determined the 2017 shooting was warranted did not seem to think a local cop being charged with lying by omission was a good reason to revisit a case in which he killed someone.—This even though there was no video evidence of that shooting, and the local police department only began using body-worn cameras this year.
“We have pictures edited with him and my son. My son, my grandson in the picture together so that we can show him when he’s a little bigger: ‘This is your dad,’ and explain everything to him,” Ruiz Hernandez told The Daily Beast. They aren’t basing that just on what they might like to believe about the events that took place. Ruiz Hernandez was in the car with his son when he was killed.
