Critics question the fatal shooting of a homeless camper Posted: Mar 24, 2014 5:20 PM CDT Updated: Mar 24, 2014 4:50 PM CDT New Mexico - Critics of the Albuquerque Police Department are raising serious questions about the fatal shooting of a homeless camper. 38-year-old James Boyd argued with police for more three hours last Sunday about illegally camping in open space. Boyd continued to refuse officer commands and began threatening their lives causing officers to open fire. Boyd had a violent 20-year criminal history including multiple incidents of violence against officers and years of mental health related concerns. |

These are the mother****ers committing crimes.. And then they're the ones doing the investigations of the very crimes that they committed. "Skilled daggersmen"? "Throwing the knife"? |

The entire situation was bad all around. Could the cops have went a different route? Possibly....but they didn't. A man, who was obviously mentally ill, is now dead. The cops will have to pay for their actions. But you have to take in all of the factors of the event. I'm sure the cops were factoring in the environment they were in. ****...the cop with the camera was having problems climbing up the terrain.

Seriously though... "Booya?"
Very professional. While I side with the officers 90% of the time, this amount of force was not warranted. The officers were far enough away and wearing protective gear. I don't care if it's Randy Johnson "throwing" those knives. It's not going to be fatal. This was chickenshit mob mentality. |

How many feet is the rule when you have 7+ cops with guns drawn, pointed at perp, with hammers cocked already? Probably more like 2.1 feet in my imagination. I think It is not an easy job being a cop, they really do provide a lot more than people like to give them credit for. That being said, this video seems like straight up murder to me. What's the deal with the guy who keeps plugging him while he is motionless face down on the ground? Gotta make sure to finish the job, or what? In my mind there is not a rational reason to continue to shoot the guy at that point. Also... People talking about how you have to make split second decisions and how that makes it more complicated, Isn't the whole point of the training to put you in a position to act intelligently in a situation like this? The whole situation could have been handled differently imo. The tazer supposedly doesn't work all the time. Ok, but couldn't they have at least TRIED IT before just rushing him with dogs and guns? |
