Trigger-Happy Cop Shot One of His Own and Kept Blasting Away
The Daily Beast ^ | September 2, 2015 | Justin Glave

A detective who worked narcotics with an undercover officer walked up to a car, shot his fellow officer twice, and then seven more times against the victim’s pleas.

The number of signs that Albuquerque Police Lieutenant Greg Brachle ignored or didn’t see before putting nine .45-caliber bullets into his fellow officer’s body are simply staggering.

It sounds like the cop himself was on narcotics.

Cops love a good shoot, just usually it is a citizen or a dog.

Whoops, sorry, got caught up in the excitement of the moment............No worries, the paperwork will make it all look just fine................

Did someone have a beef with the victim?

That’s what I thought. At first I didn’t believe it. But there are numerous newspaper articles and TV coverage.

IMHO, it sounds like Lt. Brachle knew Grant was going to find out that Brachle was on the take and wanted him dead before the upcoming sting or before he could testify to something he'd already seen but didn't understand the implications of.

Many times Narcs find out about a connection that leads Internal Affairs to realize that a particular individual is on the take but the officer who finds the information has no knowledge of the connections that make the case for IA.

“One of his own” implies that they were on the same side, though...

Looks like a hit on a cop that wouldn’t play ball with the approved cartel.

Furthermore, when the person is “trying to crawl away while leaving a heavy trail of blood and while requesting for the shooting to please stop,” Brachle should have let up...

Gee, ya THINK???????????????

Why is this psycho not in jail on a million dollars bond. Or in psych!!!!

The article’s facts make it sound like this cop was INSANE.

City attorney is already saying when the facts are revealed blah blah blah

How does one lose 80 percent of their blood and have almost every vital organ shot and live? It sounds like the scene in the first The Naked Gun movie.

I know i would rather survive than die, but wow, it’s going to be a hard life with surgeries for the rest of his life.

Only the police should have guns.

Don’t be too hard on cops, they might stop doing their jobs.

I wonder if this is the same dept. that had a colonoscopy performed on a prisoner looking for evidence a few months back.
