IMO both of these departments should be shut down and everyone fired. They should either bring in temporary police or use national guard until a completely new police force can be trained. Both of those PD's have been shown to be incompetent and clearly over abusive in their day to day activities.

I live in the heart of los angeles, I'm the last person to give the benefit of the doubt to the entire dept. and I also am pretty keen on things like this and in albequerque as I have a niece and nephew attending college there and family in other parts of NM
Nevertheless, to take an incident like this and extrapolate out from it as some have done here is backwards. Reading more about this, shows the situation in greater detail and honestly, I've yet to conclude those cops were trigger happy in this incident.
