Very damning. A pattern or practice of excessive force. Majority of shootings in 2009-2012 were unconstitutional from the excessiveness. Excessive use of less lethal weaponry on those who pose no threat, and in at least one incident, did so causing threat to -everyone- around them. Excessive force on the mentally disabled. And explicitly noted as not sporadic or isolated.

Re: Report on Albuquerque PD's excessive force released.
Are they they same police force that was forcing multiple enemas on people after traffic stops in a hunt for drugs? Or was that somewhere else in New Mexico?
Would be nice if they got these abuses cleaned up.

Re: Report on Albuquerque PD's excessive force released.
Seems like New Mexico is not a great place to live if you don't like cops... at first I thought this was the place Joe Arpaio works out of, but then that's more Maricopa County, which IIRC is Phoenix. But from what I understand both have been hell-holes as far as police authority is concerned. Hopefully this report can bring about a little change.
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

Yes, Joe Arpaio is out of Maricopa County in Arizona, and Phoenix is in that county.
