Good! I hope that they are convicted.
It is the correct thing to do, but I don’t thin the Fergeson crowd will like it. He was white, so I guess #WhiteLivesMatter.
Families
Retarded people
Old people
Homeless people
These are the really most vulnerable people in society and cops are killing them.
while albq seems to have problems in the police department, the perp was well known to the cops and he had a history of assault on police officers.
I’ve got an idea that if you google the DA, you find a zealot looking to make headlines for a run for congress.
something is really wrong when at least 3 strong young men can't handle a bum other than by killing him.....
as long as this attitude exists that the cops are judge and jury then these kinds so things will continue...
What was their justification for shooting him in the ass with the bean bag shotgun, after they already shot him with the m4’s?
The guy had "frequent violent run-ins with LEOs.
He was waving two knives.
They were trying to get him to surrender for about an hour.
It appears he was finally just starting to turn his back and lie on the ground when he got shot.
The scumbucket had a 20 year violent history, including attacks on officers, had threatened to kill the officers earlier in the incident, was brandishing 2 knives and disobeyed multiple orders to get on the ground.
If you threaten to kill anyone, including cops, are armed, and refuse to surrender when rifles are pointed at you, you 100% deserve to die.
We had a similar incident here several years ago. A criminal was on the lose! They thought they had him near here as we were stopped on the road due to the standoff!
Up flies a hot shot deputy in his car, jumps out and “BAM!” one dead perp.
Uh ho, wrong man, a retarded man who had strayed away from home.
They caught the perp several miles away.
The deputy is now planting and picking cucumbers at the State Prison Farm.
The video is clear. They should be charged.
Here is James Boyd’s extremely violent history. Anyone who reads this and thinks the cops did the wrong thing needs to go join Rev. Al’s National Action Network.

I suspect that she charged murder because she knows they won’t be convicted. Then, her buddies skate and the jury takes the heat.
