#Repost lulac Xavier Hernandez’s last words were “help me.” A bystander called 911 to keep him alive. El Paso police arrived and in less than a minute, a man in a mental health crisis was being treated like a criminal instead.  One year. No answers. His mother is still asking why. In El Paso, Xavier isn’t the only one. Police custody deaths following mental health calls have happened before. El Grito’s newsroom looked into the patterns, so stay tuned this week for our follow up reporting on #XavierHernandez .
