3:25 minute footage from officer's lapel cam. Story is that a burglary suspect was spotted running in an alley adjacent to San Mateo Blvd. in ABQ. Police ordered him to stop and instead suspect shot at officers. Officers returned fire and killed him. The officer with the lapel cam is clearly distressed at having had to fire. Suspect was wearing a bullet proof vest and fired a revolver both stolen from the home of a Bernalillo County Sheriff's deputy.

If they were registered this wouldn’t have happened.../s

I suspect this is a necessary shoot.

Deputy doesn’t know how to secure his gear.

Or should I just say thank you and start licking the boots?

Whatsyerpoint, Cowboy?

The body cam footage was piss poor and did not give a true picture of what the cop was seeing. That needs to be improved.

The officers who responded had arrest complaints and the suspect killed has a long criminal record.

Murder. Pure and simple.

The stolen gun was a Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt. Not the prime item for getting into a gunfight with police.

Some of the SASS shooter at Founder’s Ranch (about 6 miles from me) could have run it effectively though.

Back in the late 80’s a couple highly ranked SASS shooters did a charity shoot against the Stockton PD in California using SAA Colts, Winchester 1873’s, and Winchester 1897’s.

And cleaned their clocks.

Here is some video of a Dover cop doing a Taylor Swift voice-over in his car.

Gee, this story hasn’t been reported in the state of Florida. Media must not want to talk about it.

I saw the headline and fear ran through me that it was our hero James O’Keefe.
