US Justice Department: Albuquerque police use "excessive force"
It appears that after anally raping at least two people because they "walked funny" and shooting 37 people killing 25 I believe. The US Justice Dept's investigation has come to the conclusion that APD use excessive force.

some highlights..
Quote:
A release issued by the DOJ Thursday said the investigation found three patterns of excessive force used by APD officers.
- APD officers too frequently use deadly force against people who pose a minimal threat, and in situations where the conduct of the officers heightens the danger and contributes to the need to use force.
- APD officers use less lethal force, including electronic controlled weapons, on people who are passively resisting, non-threatening, observably unable to comply with orders or pose only a minimal threat to the officers.
- Encounters between APD officers and persons with mental illness and in crisis too frequently result in a use of force or a higher level of force than necessary.
The investigation also found the police department had systemic deficiencies, including: deficient policies, failed accountability systems, inadequate training, inadequate supervision, ineffective systems of investigation and adjudication, the absence of community policing, and a lack of sufficient civilian oversight.
