The U.S. Justice Department on Thursday released a scathing report in response to a series of deadly police shootings that pointed to patterns of excessive force by the Albuquerque Police Department, serious constitutional violations and a lack of training and oversight of its officers.

Holder is just pissed ABQ police got there first....
Not just New Mexico, sadly.
Not surprising.

It wasn’t that long ago that police in Southern N.M. detained a guy who did nothing wrong for a couple of days and forced him to undergo a colonoscopy looking for drugs he did not have.

As I recall the story, there were about five of varying degrees of thoroughness.
Sounds like the Albuquerque PD is alot like President Obama, “Really good at killing people”

Exactly. They put that man through tortures we won’t even joke about using on terrorists.
Maybe the feds will put the Albuquerque cops down on Bundy’s ranch now for doing such a good job.
Good Lord, was this recently? Got any details on this? Thanks.
I realize the guy had previously snuck drugs in his anus, but really, since when do we question the validity of an X-ray?
So is this Holder’s hit on Susanna Martinez?
Dang. 15 posts and the Police Apologists haven’t shown up yet to explain how the perps had it coming to them.
Weren’t those bean bag guns?
