wow, just watched the video and that guy was murdered in cold blood. I hope someone does hard time for this.
To make it worse, one of the officers involved has a very checkered history and was fired by the NM State Police just before being hired by the APD.
The (crooked in my opinion) DA in Albuquerque declined to prosecute when he was fired for wrongdoing. Why they hired this guy I have no clue and the local news said originally it was decided ‘he would never carry a gun while employed with APD’, but that quickly changed.

Well, you see, the guy was well known to have been an expert knife-thrower. Why, he could have assassinated a person from several yards away with one good toss! Haven't you seen Desperado?
Gunning this individual down as he turned away was the ONLY response that could protect the public well-armed police.</sarc>
