A SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL MEETING THURSDAY NIGHT. PEOPLE WHO GOT ROWDY AT MONDAY'S NIGHT'S MEETING PROTESTING APD'S OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS SHOWED UP FOR THE SPECIAL. BUT COUNCILORS MADE RULE CHANGES THAT KEPT THE TONE MORE CIVIL. THEY ALSO LIMITED THE DISCUSSION TO WHETHER THE POLICE CHIEF SHOULD BE CHOSEN BY THE COUNCIL OR VOTERS.
ANOTHER PROPOSAL PRESENTED BY THE COUNCIL WOULD ALLOW IT TO REMOVE A CHIEF ON A TWO-THIRDS VOTE.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT KEN SANCHEZ CANCELED MONDAY'S MEETING WHEN THE PROTESTERS GOT OUT OF HAND AND RUSHED THE PODIUM. THEY ALSO CALLED FOR THE CITIZEN'S ARREST OF APD CHIEF GORDEN EDEN.
