An apt title for this entry. The Chief cop is out(in a few months) and the new Chief cop is out too. Until after the Albuquerque City Mayoral election. And so, until at least the end of the year there will be no new leadership at APD. Poor timing due to politics all the way around. The Mayor and Council dithered on the severe problems at APD for at least 18 months. And then a decision is made to replace the Chief in an election year, but it doesn't make sense to do so because the new Chief might have such a short tenure if the Mayor is not reelected. And of course this is all welcome by the Mayor because he wont have to make a tough decision before the October election and perhaps a December runoff election.
And the inertia of a disjointed police department will continue. This is poor management all the way around.

The Feds are less likely to indict a sitting chief than one no longer in office. Ray is not going anywhere soon.
State police shot the latest APD victim. I wonder why APD did not allow the man's mother to try to get him to surrender. She was at the scene and local media has footage of her heartbreak on camera.
In the KRQE coverage you can see Kathy Levy at the 36 second mark. She is standing across the street then wanders off the screen shot. Why are assistant city attorneys at shooting scenes?
Because that's their MO. Somebody should tag her as a witness.
