LAST FRIDAY’S DEPUTY INVOLVED SHOOTING ON ALBUQUERQUE’S WEST SIDE IS THE BERNALILLO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT’S NINTH SUCH SHOOTING SO FAR THIS YEAR. NOW THE NEW MEXICO ACLU IS PUSHING TO GET THE DEPARTMENT TO REQUIRE ITS DEPUTIES TO WEAR BODY CAMERAS.
DEPUTIES OPENED FIRE ON SEVERAL SUSPECTS LAST FRIDAY AFTER THEY CAUGHT UP WITH A STOLEN TRUCK BEING DRIVEN THROUGHOUT ALBUQUERQUE. TWO OF THE SUSPECTS INSIDE WERE KILLED. TWO OTHERS ARE IN CUSTODY.
