Albuquerque Cop Shoots First, Asks Questions Later. Turns Out the Person He Shot Was a Cop
Even cops may not be safe from other cops. This was the second friendly fire incident.
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/undercover-albuquerque-police-officer-shot-fellow-cop/ Albuquerque, NM– Albuquerque Police Department’s five months without a shooting has come to an end as an Albuquerque police officer remains in critical condition after being shot by a fellow officer on Friday.
The unnamed officer was shot while undercover during a drug operation to bust two men for $60 worth of meth. Another officer sustained minor injuries, but information on how has not been released.

This trigger happy officer, who opened fire and shot someone who posed no danger to them, multiple times, is “devastated” according to Police Chief Gorden Eden. The lieutenant is currently on administrative leave and “getting support” through the department’s counseling services.
Police even went so far as to confiscate a witness’s cell phone after he had recorded some of the incident.
While brutality is clearly a nationwide issue, the APD has claimed some major notoriety for their badge abuse. Since 2010, the department has had 41 officer involved shootings, 27 of which were fatal.
