James Boyd, 38, a mentally ill homeless man, was camping illegally in the hills above Albuquerque when he was confronted by police.

APD Officer makes remark about shooting James Boyd 2 hours before shooting
A terrible story, by the sounds of it. Murderers wearing a badge.
Yep, pretty damning comments from the LEO. He will end up in prison because of it, his partner too.
Sounds like there are more where he came from. Story says his unit had to adopt a safe word because the cruel and angry “joking” got so bad.
Yep....I read that. Word is “China”.
Bad cops need weeding out so the majority of cops who are dedicated and not sociopathic do not have their reputations besmirched.
I thought this went down in San Diego, or was that another case?
Run? When did that happen?
Nope , this was right here in Albuquerque.
What about the cop that shot the undercover cop last week, is there anymore about that?

I hadn't heard about that. Do you have a link or some details?
It is under the radar so far and all we know is that it happened.
