Fuck it, I'm now in favor of abolishing the police. They are worse than useless. They ignore the domestic terror of Antifa and BLM but arrest those who try to uphold the actual rule of law and defend our nation. Only when the fucking cops are gone will we be able to save the country.
Calm down. That's proper police procedure--secure the scene, detain anyone they find armed, and figure out WTF is going on.
They took a couple Civil Guard guys into custody, but they'll probably be let go without an arrest. From an article:
The [shot] man, who was not identified, was taken away in an ambulance, and the police took into custody several members of a right-wing militia who were dressed in camouflage and carrying military-style rifles. It was not clear whether any of them had fired the shot; witnesses said the gunman was a white man in a blue shirt.
“We are receiving reports about vigilante groups possibly instigating this violence,” Chief Michael Geier of the Albuquerque Police Department said on Twitter. “If this is true will be holding them accountable to the fullest extent of the law, including federal hate group designation and prosecution.”
...The police used chemical irritants and stun grenades to “protect officers and detain individuals involved in the shooting,” Gilbert Gallegos, a police spokesman, said. “The individuals were disarmed and taken into custody for questioning.”
On the other hand, you may want to just fire all mayors and start over:
Hours later, Mayor Tim Keller announced that the Oñate statue would be removed until “the appropriate civic institutions” could determine how to proceed.
“The shooting tonight was a tragic, outrageous and unacceptable act of violence and it has no place in our city,” the mayor wrote on Twitter. “Our diverse community will not be deterred by acts meant to divide or silence us.”
Mayor Tim Keller, who last year had hired a new chief of police to try and move them towards the now-fashionable community policing shtick.
On the one hand, kudos for being ahead of the trend. On the other, I don't think this bit will age well.
As for the city's skyrocketing homicide rate, Geier said they'll work with the district attorney's office with the goal of stopping violent crimes before they happen.
"People don't become homicide offenders overnight," he said. "A lot of these people are predators and have a propensity for violence if you have them off the street when they commit other crimes you probably are preventing future homicides."
