ANOTHER WEEKEND OF PROTESTS INVOLVING THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT … AND THIS TIME, THE CITY OF ALBUQUERQUE AS WELL. THE CITY AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE SPONSORING THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION SHOOTING COMPETITION FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT GETS UNDERWAY IN ALBUQUERQUE SATURDAY AND RUNS THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY.
ACTIVISTS SAY THE CONTEST IS BAD TIMING GIVEN APD'S RECORD OF MORE THAN 40 OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING SINCE 2010 AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT INVESTIGATION THAT CAME AFTER THAT. THEY'LL RALLY AND PROTEST THIS SUNDAY … USING WATER GUNS AND NERF DARTS TO SHOOT AT MOCK TARGETS.
