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.
Thats 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 dont hurt me anymore, he said after he was struck and knocked to the ground. I cant 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.

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.
Given the stories out of NM of late, they must have been frustrated they couldn’t sodomize anyone for 12 hours for clenching their butt...
Why, why, why do those a$$holes have to kill people all the time? What in the world is going on with the gang in blue these days? I know we ask rhetorically all the time but when in God’s name are we going to start speaking out and demand they be held accountable for killing people? I don’t care if the guy HAD a knife in his hand. I don’t care if some other guy pulled out his wallet and they thought it was a gun, I don’t care if someone is fighting arrest there is no reason for them to kill the person dead! There are non-lethal ways of dealing with people and they should have been trained and able to do so.
BiBs. Bullies in Blue.
Thank you for printing that. Here’s the whole story of this man. He has been arrested many times, through the years, for attacking people he disagreed with in the past. This was just the last straw that he had pulled. There was no way that this man was ever going to behave himself in a better manner.
Your post is why FR needs a like button.
Your post deserved to be posted 3 times.Even tho it was accidental most people need to reread it again.
Doesnt take much justification.
Pretty sure the police chief stepped down and they have a new one. They are under a pretty large microscope lens currently.
Ok then. Let's just get all the behavior problem people out of the way now. Line them up and use them for target practise. Since we know they will never behave better.
We can add some stray dogs who have issues as well.
Lol.....he looks more like Curly Joe DeRita
There certainly seem to be a lot of these shootings.
However, to say there are more than in the past requires data.
I haven’t been able to find any historical data on number or rates of shootings.
If anybody knows where they are available, I’m interested.
I am not homeless and I fear coming in contact with them. You never know when they will start shooting. As I have posted before, if you enjoy celebrating your birthdays give them a very wide berth.
If you have been following the news, each time the officer says the magic words, " I thought he/she was reaching for/ had a gun and I feared for my life." It is ruled a good shoot, even if the officer walks up behind his/her victim and places his weapon behind the victim's head and then pulls the trigger.
Really? A flashbang? Release the Sturmehund on him and shoot him all in 2 seconds... as he was gathering up his things and leaving.
Armed citizens need to have a zero tolerance policy... if law enforcement is about to try and kill you, you have a right to defend yourself using whatever reasonable manner available... including flashbangs, dogs, full auto assault weapons, drones with hellfires and whatever else the JBTs have been provided via taxation/theft under color of law.
No need for judges and juries anymore.
I think Central casting has found someone to play “Curly Howard” in the next Three Stooges short film...
[ I swear the cops in Abq. kill someone every other day. ]
NM cops seem to love shoving gloves up women’s Vaginas and shoving pieces of lead into everyone else’s body....
