THanks, here’s a few snips. Looks really muddy. Maybe if the shooter gets a good lawyer he might be okay. The Albuquerque (sp?) Mayor is a commiepuke maggot obviously.

Baca, who does not have a concealed carry permit, still faces an unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon charge, Torrez said during a press conference.

Torrez further announced that Baca has been charged with three counts of battery after video footage allegedly showed him striking and injuring three women as they swarmed the Juan de Oñate monument he was allegedly trying to protect prior to the shooting.

The district attorney confirmed that he has asked the New Mexico State Police to handle the ongoing investigation into the incident, NPR reported.

Torrez alleged that undercover Albuquerque Police Department (APD) officers “did not intervene and act to enforce the specific laws or prevent the shooting,” NPR reported.

“More troubling, from our perspective, is the fact that after police and APD arrived at the scene, because of the dynamic situation and the tense situation that developed…there were tactics that were used by the Albuquerque PD that made it impossible for key witnesses to the event to actually make statements,” he added.

A police oversight board has also launched an investigation into the tactics the APD used before and after the demonstration turned violent.

thanks for that. Nice reporting job by the reporter - who has an LEO background and is married to an LEO.

Interesting here:

Key witnesses could be the undercover cops. If those cops can't be outed, how can he get a fair trial? There's a plea in here, somewhere.
