This happened about the time that black mother and her children were shot at. They sped away to a public place in Taos.
Y'all can all try to justify what you want - the fact is I lived in N.M. for 20 years. The cops there pull, shoot THEN yell "Hands", Hands"! Then go home and sleep the sleep of the just & on Sunday, Church followed by a big family dinner. They do not like out of state folks - 'specially hard on the "brothers".

with the utmost respect to every person who believes this to be a justified shooting in regard to weapon in said offenders hand at the point of him running towards officers. from the amount of shootings ive seen come out of america it seems to me to make no difference whether he had a weapon or not . a, listen to cops instructions b, forget arguing c,be smart otherwise your gonna end up dead or fucked up . simple not rocket science .

And tactically speaking, I would never have been that close to the suspect who has a hammer. The positioning of both officers shows poor training.

Lastly, my argument is proven correct in the fact that the had 21 fatal officer related shootings in a span of 3 or so years. Not even Chicago or L.A., where gang violence is worse, do they have that many in a decade. They are being investigated by the US Justice Department now.

Your an idiot, fuck off and go charge a cop with a hammer.
