Police Officers Charged

Kachina624 — Tue, 13 Jan 2015 01:46:35 GMT

Two Albuquerque police officers involved in the shooting of a homeless man who was illegally camping in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains last summer, have been charged with first degree murder. This received nation-wide attention when it occurred.

I lived in ABQ and that is where my daughter was born, my brother still lives in the area. They are having some major problems with police shootings there. I just read that an ABQ cop (today I think) shot another person who ended up being another cop. ABQ is one place I would not want to be a cop. Lots of gangs. It is one of the most beautiful places in the country though. I do love it there and love the food.

I might have, but I don't remember it. Have a link so we can read the story, OP?

I read about it in the news. The video was disconcerting, to put it mildly.

I just saw the video, Kachina. I don't remember the story being covered earlier though.

It hasn't hit the newspapers yet but here's a report from one of the cop's high priced lawyer. A video of the incident was played nationally over and over.

Albuquerque is lovely. I've spent time there at one of the hospitals which was in my support district, also had a dear friend there who was a hot air balloonist so I had the chance to participate in the crew and also to ride in one of the vintage balloons.

These situations are so sad.

For those who aren't aware of the story in the original post, just do a search for "James Boyd Albuquerque."

I used to live right next door to an empty field where some of the balloons would take off. It is fascinating. I never got into a balloon until years later but I bet it is a beautiful view of ABQ.

Well, it is a news story, unlike tabloid gossip about a fictional divorce. This story has been reported in newspapers from the beginning. I don't know if it made it to the tabloids.

I'll bet that was a lovely sight, having the chance to see the balloons so often. Some of them are quite beautiful. It was a great experience and, yes, it was gorgeous!

No, just a joke. No one questions the millions of vapid threads about the Kardashians or other idol gossip that is pure conjecture but put a real news story on here and people question why? I don't get it.

I was joking as well. Usually, when someone questions a thread they have their own agenda.

I watched the video a while back and it was very difficult to watch. You just don't want to believe they would do something like that.
