Police helmetcam footage of suspect getting shot
Tuesday, March 25, 2014
(Warning: Disturbing content - man getting shot)
The Albuquerque Police Department have released the helmetcam footage of one of their officers fatally shooting a homeless camper last Sunday, claiming the actions were justified.
From KRQE:
The Albuquerque Police Department have released the helmetcam footage of one of their officers fatally shooting a homeless camper last Sunday, claiming the actions were justified.
From KRQE:
Boyd was arguing with police for more three hours last Sunday in the foothills after officers went to talk to him about illegally camping in open space.via
"I'm almost going to kill you right now. Don't give me another directive. Don't attempt to give me, the Department of Defense, another directive," said Boyd at the beginning of the incident.
[...]
At the beginning of incident, Boyd can be heard saying, "In a private world, if you were down at a bar or a bus stop, I would have the right to kill you right now because you're trying to take me over. Don't get stupid with me!"
Video shows Boyd then began grabbing bags and attempted to leave when officers started their use of non-lethal force.
As Boyd is moving, officers then threw a flash bang and released a K9 which appears to bite Boyd in the hand. Chief Eden said officers also used a taser gun and bean bag rounds. Two officers, Dominque Perez and Keith Sandy then both fired three bullets each from their department issued rifles, causing Boyd to fall to the ground.
It's unclear how many shots hit Boyd. APD says it is waiting on a report from the Office of the Medical Investigator to determine an exact cause of death.
