Looks like the issues made blatantly apparent in the video aren't an isolated incident: Officers in Albuquerque police shooting identified ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The officers in a fatal Albuquerque police shooting of a man in the city's foothill have been identified. Albuquerque police spokeswoman Tasia Martinez says officers Keith Sandy and Dominique Perez are linked to the fatal shooting Sunday. Albuquerque Police Chief Gorden Eden told reporters 1. the man was shot Sunday night and was rushed to the University of New Mexico Hospital. The man, who has not been identified, later died. According to Eden, officers arrived at the foothills after receiving a suspicious person call. He says when officers arrived, 2. the man threatened the officers' lives. Eden says 3. "less-than-lethal force" was used to calm the man but 4. an officer eventually fired one shot. Officials did not say which officer fired. The shooting comes as Albuquerque police is under a U.S. Justice Department investigation over allegations of excessive force. What I note in comparing the video to the new report... is a dishonest news report. 1. I saw no evidence they "rushed him to the hospital"... or that they cared they attacked and killed him. 2. I saw no CREDIBLE threat existed... other than that created by the police. 3. Dishonest language applied in describing use of force to "calm" the man... contributes to the problem. Police did nothing to "calm" the man. Instead, they CREATED a confrontation... provoked it, even AFTER the person had agreed to cooperate... and had demonstrated he would. They then shot him multiple times... only AFTER he was cooperating, and AFTER he had turned his back to them (and thus was NOT a threat). 4. "Eventually fired one shot" ? Fraudlent reporting. This from March 10, another instance in which officers repeatedly shot a man in the back...: Albuquerque police shooting civil trial begins washingtontimes.com "A civil trial over the fatal Albuquerque police shooting of a 27-year-old man with schizophrenia began Monday in a case that drew added scrutiny to the department’s high number of officer-involved shootings... The trial comes as Albuquerque police remain under a U.S. Justice Department investigation over excessive force cases and three dozen shootings - 20 fatal - since 2010. The department recently hired a new police chief, former New Mexico Public Safety Secretary Gorden Eden, who has vowed to review the department’s policies and leadership structure."
