Albuquerque's Police Chief Ran a Red Light and Broadsided a Car. A Review Board Says It Was Unavoidable.

When he got a call about a shooting involving Medina that day, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller told reporters, he feared the worst. "Fortunately, in this case, I quickly learned he was OK and what happened with the situation,"

So as long as the guy in the magic blue uniform is safe the rest of the citizens are expendable.

How delightful.

On Sept. 11, 2001, they rose to the occasion and had their act together.

What happened on Sept. 11, 2001 in Albuquerque?

If that's the case, where are all the witnesses to the gun, the shooting and or the sound of gunfire that allegedly spooked the Chief?

Kind of my question.

It looks like there was some shoving but the two guys walk off rather calmly in opposite directions.

Is there any proof that a shot actually was fired at all?

[dragnet2]

Where is the radio traffic of the Chief getting on his radio and reporting man with a gun, shots fired? I assume it must exist..

[dragnet2]

So many questions.

After the collision, did they police department set up perimeter and search for the alleged gunman? This would be routine...

[ETCM]

No idea if there was any evidence or witnesses to a gunshot. The scuffle was visible in the video, as was the Chief flooring it directly into traffic. He obviously didn’t look, as there was traffic in both directions. The car on his left was lucky they were paying attention.

[dragnet2]

Why did the video stop after the collision? Did the Chief, after the collision get out, pull his gun and take cover due to the alleged gun suspect being directly across the street from the collision? The camera would have clearly depicted that, but the video just stopped at that critical time!

There was clearly a male sitting about 50’ from the two fighting. I would imagine there was a big search for that witness, but not a word in the story about that.

Btw, when the alleged shot was fired, the man sitting in the chair on the sidewalk 50’ away, did not move, he did not jump up or run for cover. He remained seated. Seems a bit odd.

“Black chief can do no wrong.”

Why is he taking his wife on a detour to the bad side of town?

[jacknhoo]

My gawd, the whole world seems crooked these days.

Tone at the top? They have been doing things wrong and taking shortcuts for so long they don’t even see why they are questioned or doubted.
The cops are not coming to help you. Heck, they probably aren’t coming at all.

there isn’t a sewerage processing facility big enough to handle it.

= = =

And that is the basic cause of all our ‘pollution’.

[WASCWatch]

That story is a pile of $hit so deep that there isn’t a sewerage processing facility big enough to handle it.

And your claim is based on what evidence? And what relationship do you have with anyone mentioned in the story?

The Chief of Police pretty admitted to the alleged factual information.

[powerset]

With his WIFE in the car?? Would you?
