Albuquerque Residents Occupy Council Meeting After Latest Police Shooting

HeadlineMay 07, 2014

Residents in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have taken over a city council meeting following another fatal police shooting. Armand Martin was shot dead after firing two handguns at police outside of his home. But the case has fueled criticism following a Justice Department report that found a pattern of excessive force in some 25 killings by police since 2010. On Monday night, activists stormed a city council session, demanding the firing of Albuquerque’s police chief.
