Questions abound after the Albuquerque Police Department released video footage of cops shooting and killing a homeless man whose alleged crime was camping in an unauthorized area.
Police came upon Boyd while he was sleeping outside in the Sandia Foothills. Camping is not allowed in the area.
He was instructed to accompany police down the mountain and seemed to agree to the demand.
That’s when cops shot a flash grenade at him and sicked a dog on him. Boyd turned away, and was holding a knife, according to police reports. He was then shot.
“Please don’t hurt me anymore,” he said after he was struck and knocked to the ground. “I can’t move.”
Though bleeding and begging for his life, he was then handcuffed.
Eden said police were justified in shooting Boyd, however, because he made a threatening movement and had been arrested previously on violent charges.

Misleading headline ...
There is a moral to this and other stories. It is, if you like to celebrate your birthday, stay far, far, far away from the cops.
Curly working for a Sheriff’s department now?
“Was this man killed by cops because he camped in the wrong spot? “
No, from the sound of it, the hobo was brandishing knives. Regardless, no loss.
Ping for you and here is another one for Alaska’s Wolf
Like shooting a dog, only better.../s
Boyd turned away, and was holding a knife, according to police reports. He was then shot. shot in the back by the sound of it... try that, even in your own home, and see how far YOU get
Did you watch the video? And if you did, what made you decide that the man’s life was “no loss”?
Did you post under the screen name AlaskaWolf”
No loss because anytime one of these slobberin’ copsuckers hears about or sees someone murdered by one of their heroes it get’s ‘em aroused. Nothing these out of control steroided up jackboots do is ever wrong in their eyes.
I swear the cops in Abq. kill someone every other day.
The start spanking the monkey while reading the article. The more they read, the faster they spank.
Excellent. Thanks.
Additionally making contributions to local hospitals via forced colonoscopies etc, etc.
welcome, sad but true...
Cops shot first, even when they had beanbag gun ready. How do we know? Because they shot the dying man man three times with it as he lay bleeding out ion the ground. Then they loosed a dog on him so he could also suffer the indignity of being mauled as he died. Earlier in the day this same man had put a knife to his own throat, presumably because he was homeless and helpless, merely trying to exist without harassment in his miserable condition. He was shot, murdered actually, because he was poor desert decor and an eyesore to those living nearby. Cops have gone of the rails lately and homeless wretches have every reason to fear being arrested to the point of fighting back when approached by gear queers hellbent on being judge, jury, and executioner.
