Albuquerque police straight up murdering citizens

WOW

I think police get a bad rap sometimes because of a few bad apples, but these guys are straight up murderers and should never see the light of day again.

And I know in my heart that the problem is far more widespread than one city.

Perhaps this investigation will result in some changes in the way we the people expect the Police to behave. I doubt it, but I can hope.
