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.
This problem is systemic, it belongs to every administration not just this one, and local PD works for a corporation, your city government and works solely in the interests of that corporation.
A good start would be remove the current Muslim administration from office. Vote in November
I still have trouble understanding the people’s acceptance of violence from the police?
i love it god bless america
Police you work to Protect and serve our people
Some people just need killin’ too bad they have badges and guns.
time for civilian militias to take over all law enforcement offices.
badges aint bulletproof.
BADGES? WE DON’T NEED TO STICKING BADGES. Way to go protestors. TELL that so-called “CHIEF” where he can stick his $#%&!@*ing badge.
Cop are out of control. What ever happened to protect and serve. Take our country back.
