Both the FBI and the DOJ have been investigating the APD due to the large number of shootings for a city of only 500k people.

Do these people just lack any thread of common sense or tact? They are already having demonstrations about the police shootings and they just want to pour fuel on the fire? How can anyone be that stupid?

I'm actually in Albuquerque at this very moment, I've been here for several days and I just can't see where the crime is that requires so many shootings. I've been to a lot of cities and been in places where you see bullet holes in glass or buildings.. Albuquerque is a very clean looking city and the worst place I've seen was around Route 66 as you head east there is a area of town that most of the business have closed up, yes there were some street people walking around but nothing that would make me worried about walking around.

I'd hate to see any of these APD guys try to go work in any other major city in the US.. They would probably shoot the first five people they met in down town Orlando.
