  1. This video is fucking disgusting, as usual with the pigs. You would have to be mentally ill, a genuine sociopath, to join these sick bastards now days. I'm so sick of these worthless, deranged predators. Sadly they will only actually be prosecuted if a judge chooses to charge. with this sad excuse of a justice system there is slim chance of that happening.

    ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Two police officers who shot and killed a mentally ill, homeless man may face second-degree murder charges.

    On March 16, 2014, Albuquerque police officers Keith Sandy and Dominique Perez concluded a standoff by opening fire and killing James Boyd, a mentally ill homeless man who was camping in the Sandia Mountains.

    Video of the seconds leading up to the shooting shows Boyd distanced at least 5 yards away from the officers, holding what appeared to be hunting knives in his hands. Boyd turned away from the officers and dropped the two knives before one of the officers fires a Taser, missing him. Officers then let loose a barrage from their assault rifles, shooting him in the back. Police then approached his dying body and placed him in handcuffs.

    Many have criticized the actions of police as unnecessary because of the little risk Boyd appeared to pose. When Boyd was shot, he was facing away fromt he officers, and dropped his weapons in a possible attempt to surrender.

    Over a year later, prosecutors have decided to pursue officers for the killing. The office of special prosecutor Randi McGinn said Monday that they intend to charge officers Sandy and Perez with second-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, and aggravated battery.



    McGinn's office will present evidence at a preliminary hearing to a judge in August. The judge will then review the evidence and make a decision on whether to proceed with the charges.

    Sam Bregman, Officer Sandy's defense attorney, said says disagrees with the prosecution's decision to bring charges against the officers.

    “There is no justification for charging Keith Sandy with any crime. [Keith Sandy] was a police officer protecting a fellow officer when he shot a mentally unstable man wielding two knives.” said Bregman. “There is simply no criminal intent.”

    Officer Sandy has since retired from Albuquerque police department. Officer Perez is still employed with the APD, placed on administrative duty. Until now, neither officer had been accused of a crime.

  3. You're right nothing short of fucking discusting, whats wrong with using a taser? Im so glad cops know how to conduct themselves this side of the pond.
     
  4. Thanks for the tldr. That is basically how it went down. Oh, let's just mention that the pigs lit him up with "military style assault weapons" aka an ar-15 loaded with accessories. The same weapons the swine want to take from actual human beings.
     
  5. Oh, they tried a Taser first, missed, and then just said "fuck it, tear him to hamburger boys!"
     
  6. I personally dont like watching such things so thanks for the written breakdown. Part of me wants to but i think i have enough distain for wannabe authorities it isnt necessary to desensitized myself.

    It needs to start with fellow police. If the decent people dont start condemning the us vs them authoritarian mentality, then the people will lump all police in the same catagory. At some point it just may become us vs them, and i would bet the farm on us.
