The Albuquerque Police Department is so well known for its incessant use of violence against citizens that even the Department of Justice initiated an investigation and found a ‘pattern or practice of use of excessive force’.
The final straw that caused the protest was when APD killed a 50-year-old Air Force veteran, Armand Martin, outside his home in a stand off with SWAT.
Actually, we’ve seen a dramatic rise in police brutality across this country in recent years. Our cops have become thugs who work for a corrupt government. We should expect more such protests until the infection in our law enforcement and in our government has been removed.
Our police forces are being radicalized by the federal government. They are being supplied with war fighting equipment and training in urban warfare for when Marshal Law is declared.
This is a beautiful city, I hope things can be worked out.
well said CHARLES
We are so close to anarchy, and it’s the government that’s going to bring it on.
We The People are coming for you!!!
The Police do not protect citizens. They protect the corporations.
So what is being done about it?
