A high-ranking Albuquerque Police Officer's misconduct covered-up

Perfect example of absolute corruption by certain individuals at the upper levels of command, and most notably, individuals in Internal Affairs, who are either willingly corrupt, or grossly incompetent, and should be provided with the opportunity to search for another career field, outside any part of the City.

Police departments should not be allowed to investigate their own. They shouldn't be given paid leave pending investigation or allowed to resign/retire when being investigated. More importantly their entire jacket should be made public, including previous work history, disciplinary actions, complaints, and so forth. 100% transparency should be a law for those who swore an oath to protect and to serve.

[@jmurrayathletics]

One of hundreds of cases where police violate law, case law, and policy and investigate themselves to find no wrong doing. But what do you expect when there's no oversight of these types of things? We the people are just told to trust the system, but the people investigating police all are police who worked with the accused. These ai departments have clear biased & conflict of interest issues. The fact that these kangaroo courts have been allowed to prosper for so long shows the real state of the nation.

Glad he has not been "removed" by a fake traffic stop where the department investigated themselves and found all justified, or a "clerical" error.

[@bradenanderson5087]

They already are under the eye of DOJ and in the middle of a huge mandatory reform brought by that investigation, however, APD keeps whining about it and asking to be released from it. Obviously, they need more of it, not less. Also, the civilian oversight committee (part of that DOJ reform deal) can't keep members on board and has basically no actual power to make any change.

No, dude. Yes cops are often f*ckers, but no they're not that "corrupt" in Abq, don't let propaganda misinform you. Basically what's really going on is, foreign money is trying to overthrow the US. They indirectly fund the Govt to pass laws and policies that benefits them, and the Govt along with associated corporations, colleges, news/social media, use political trends to trick the masses into supporting them via "social justice", "anti-racism", protection, etc... They want to get rid of the police, so they can institute their own politically bias policing system that lacks a constitution and civil rights. Allegedly they want the US to adapt a tracking system, so they can use that to surveil people more than a giant police force. It seems like that would get rid of a lot of crime, but the tech companies already abuse their powers for politics, so we know that won't work. Crime is a balance, it's not something that you and your friends can clean up. I'd encourage you to read up on regime changes, specifically the Bolshevik revolution and Communism, getting rid of the police is part of their plan, it's deeper than "Abq cops are corrupt."
