Give Me a Break, Albuquerque
Albuquerque, New Mexico apparently has a police department out of control.
Bernalillo County District Attorney Kari Brandenburg has confirmed to the NM Political Report that she will charge two Albuquerque police officers with murder for the shooting of a homeless camper in the city’s foothills in March of 2014.
The homeless man was armed with a pen knife and there is a video.
This becoming a habit in Albuquerque.
And then to top it all, last week one officer shot an undercover officer over a $60 meth bust.
An Albuquerque police lieutenant shot a fellow officer who was working undercover in a McDonald’s parking lot near Central and Tramway just before noon Friday.
Albuquerque Police Chief Gorden Eden said Saturday the male officer remained in critical condition at University of New Mexico Hospital. He is in the intensive care unit and has undergone multiple surgeries.
No mention has been made of any perceived threat before the lieutenant opened fire. No mention was made of any guns.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
