Home video of the confrontation between police and James Boyd. (Source: KRQE)
ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Outrage has ignited over a helmet-cam video of officers fatally confronting a homeless man at his primitive campsite in the foothills. Video shows the man standing by his meager possessions, surrounded by rifle-toting officers who were citing him for illegally camping without government permission. Officers ultimately tossed a concussion grenade in his face, sicced an attack dog on him, and shot him to death with a flurry of gunfire.
Standoff
The incident took place on Sunday, March 16th. Police were tipped off about an unauthorized camper in the Sandia Foothills in the outskirts of Albuquerque. Officers came upon James M. Boyd, 38, who was evidently living at his campsite. The police chief confirmed that the man was sleeping when officers arrived.

This is evidence of psychopaths!
ReplyDeleteThey are more mentally ill than the man they were confronting.
God forbid you try to exist on Federal land owned by THE PEOPLE!
just what has our country come to?
ReplyDeleteits called, the country that kills you if you try to work over the system and not pay them your money thats what...
ReplyDeletethe a$$hole that yelled "boo-yah!" when he was MURDERING someone and obviously enjoying it needs to be electrocuted. then he can yell "boo-yah!" at the moment his worthless thug ass is FRIED.
ReplyDeleteThis police indoctrination is ongoing. Don't forget we learned right on this website, that police were changing their targets from the traditional black silhouettes to include women and even pregnant women in an effort to desensitize the forces. This is what you get!
ReplyDeleteWake up America!
This is the most disgusting display of human behavior I have ever seen. These pigs need to be dealt with. This man was not a threat. This man was in no way endangering the lives of these pigs. And this entire situation was escalated in every way by people that do not care about human life. Citizens are not people. The police make every effort to not view you as a person. It is the same thing they do when brain washing troops. Dehumanize the enemy. No longer view them as equals or living beings. It makes them easier to kill.
ReplyDeleteI am fed up with police. All police. You are worthless scum and your day will come.
well I guess the verdict is in once again. So now all you folks out there can realize what we are up against! Damn shame the man didn't have more than a butter knife with which to defend himself. but of course when they come knocking at your front door they will treat you and your family with the upmost concern and respect! I just wonder though if this was one of our lord and masters children would they have been so quick to take their life?
ReplyDeleteThis should meet their inservice requirements.And in the future don't call the cops if you only want them to stand around and do absolutely nothing.
ReplyDeleteKeep cheering.
ReplyDeleteYou moronic lemmings will soon find out what all German citizens (and millions of OTHER cheering lemmings from other countries, like China and the Soviet Union) found out. That is, once the State starts killing citizens with impunity (condoned by the State and cheered by "goot cidizens") they don't like to stop. Even for the ones that cheered so loudly while it was happening to OTHER citizens.
It took FIVE Nazi's with rifles and pistols to kill ONE UNARMED homeless man, whose crime was camping? THAT'S heroic???
What did he do? Reach for his matches?
the blue gang the most deadliest street gangs in America.
ReplyDeleteThis story is so sad. We have a God given responsibility to love "the least of these". Yet, somehow the authority(police) felt justified bullying and killing this person.
ReplyDeleteThis could have been avoided if just one officer, weapon holstered....had gone to talk with the man and offered to help him relocate to a more acceptable location. Given that they knew he had mental health issues, this was a perfect opportunity to reach out in genuine concern and build a good rapport.
There is some much wrong with this beyond the obvious.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it wrong for any of us to declare we do not want to be part of society? Why do we need a permit to access and use land that we own?
They treated this man like a nuisance dog. Am I to believe that this is not happening elsewhere? For every instance that this is captured on video I have to assume that this is happening elsewhere 10 times over undocumented.
