Albuquerque, NM
Retired Detective Keith Sandy and former Officer Dominique Perez (click here) will not face a retrial for the shooting of James Boyd, Bernalillo County District Attorney Raul Torrez announced Friday.
A jury last fall deadlocked 9 to 3 in favor of former Albuquerque police officers Keith Sandy and Dominique Perez. The state spent more than $230,000 prosecuting the now former officers....
James Boyd was marginalized by Albuquerque laws that provided no place for the homeless to rest and sleep. He was forced to break the law of Albuquerque that put him in a park where he was not allowed to stay overnight. He had no other place to turn to, yet as a human being he needed a place to rest and sleep.
A swat team was dispatched to a location where a homeless man was sleeping. A SWAT TEAM. Why a Swat Team? So they could practice with their dogs in case the real thing happened.
The Swat Team members violated human rights and civil rights and they are not held responsible for murder because they 'acted well within technical police work.'
I don't care who I ask about that video, it makes people want to vomit. The USA has a problem and it isn't the people.
Homelessness is a symptom of a society unwilling to address the needs of all people. Sending police to kill off the problem is not a moral human response.
