ALBUQUERQUE'S POLICE CHIEF IS REACTING TO THE AUDIO OF APD OFFICER KEITH SANDY USING PROFANITY IN REFERRING TO JAMES BOYD. BOYD WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY TWO APD OFFICERS A FEW HOURS LATER. ONE OF THOSE WAS OFFICER SANDY. IN THE AUDIO SANDY IS HEARD SWEARING AND CALLING BOYD A "LUNATIC". HE WAS TALKING TO A STATE POLICE OFFICER AT THE TIME. EDEN TELLS US IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE THAT THE COMMENT WAS MADE BETWEEN TWO OFFICERS. HE SAYS OFFICERS SHOULD STICK TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM, EVEN WHEN TALKING TO EACH OTHER. EDEN SAYS SANCTIONS AGAINST SANDY FOR VIOLATING POLICY COULD RANGE FROM A VERBAL WARNING TO TERMINATION. HE SAYS THE AUDIO WILL BE PART OF THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS INVESTIGATION IN TO THE BOYD SHOOTING.
