DOJ is Coming to Albuquerque

From newswest9.com -U.S. Justice Department officials are scheduled to meet with Albuquerque community activists over slate of police shootings. Two Justice Department attorneys are slated to meet Monday with representatives from LULAC, the ACLU, the Hispano Roundtable of New Mexico, and the Dr. Martin Luther King Center on Social Justice. Community activists and family members of some of the 20 people shot by police since January 2010 have been calling for a DOJ investigation of the department.  DOJ is reviewing allegations of civil rights abuses to determine whether it needs to step in and conduct an independent review.  Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry said the city has hired an outside organization to review the department and should be given time to implement the recommendations in that report from the Police Executive Research Forum.  More News New Mexico
