The U.S. Marshal's are starting to shoot people too. Time for the DOJ to check that out. At least when APD shoots someone, we learn a little bit about it. The Marshals throw down a non transparent curtain for a long period. It would be nice to learn why this cluster of shootings have occurred recently. Have training and recruitment practices deteriorated at their academy? Wasn't the current police chief at APD once the head Marshal? Yep, thats right! That is just informational and doesn't really mean anything. Except maybe he should take up a new profession because the one he has chosen isn't working out well for him.

Has any other NM governor ever appointed the APD chief like Gov. Martinez did ? The add that Eden made for the Gov isn't that an example of pay for play? Her first choice was probably Darren White.
Don't forget the current US Marshall was a APD Commander who has a very interesting background. If I remember correctly a lot of questionable conduct on his behalf came out during the last Bernalillo County Sheriff election.
And these are the people who get put in charge....... No wonder New Mexico is in the toilet.
There are way too many people in this city that have no respect for anyone or anything. They go about their daily lives doing whatever they want and when confronted by a person with any type of authority they lash out with violence. It is pretty simple folks, if a law enforcement officer orders you to "show them your hands and to drop whatever you have in them" do as they say.
Why is it that the best people don't rise to the top of government organizations?
The drug/gang trade here is the cause, but worse-the complicitness of local law. Explains the dismissive response to proof of corruption in APD from Feds for the last 5 year's of trying to get help. The Feds aren't "Wait till Dad gets home.. !" They profit too, and keep the $ flowing.
Don't expect the Feds (US Marshals, FBI, DEA) to punish APD as they are part of the same "Blue Brotherhood"; they feed from the drug/gang situation, So it would be like the pot calling the kettle black. Burque suffers from fatal geography, and there is so much collateral damage. Research "asset forfeiture in NM" and follow the dirty money. Stop the drug war as it's devastating to our society.
If this drug-crime-fed conspiracy is true why is this not the case in El Paso?
