ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Two Albuquerque police officers were charged with murder Monday in the shooting death of a knife-wielding homeless man that led to violent protests and brought new scrutiny to the police department amid a federal investigation.
Acknowledging the frustration over the secrecy of the proceedings in those cases, the Albuquerque district attorney said she would bypass the grand jury process and instead present the murder case to a judge at a preliminary hearing that will be open to the public.The decision to bring murder charges occurred at a time when police tactics are under intense review nationwide, fueled by the fatal shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, and the chokehold death of another unarmed man in New York City. Grand juries declined to charge officers in those cases, leading to large protests.

He pulled his knife after obeying officers only to have the dogs sicced on him. Then he pulled the knife to defend against the dogs. Hope they fry!

How in the hell do you know and where did you get your information? Were you there?
Did you witness this event ?
It really fascinates me that some comments are made from media . The media is known for it's lies.
Whoever made the first comment must have been on the scene!!!
524, watch the video, then come back here and say that.
Finally the correct outcome for these out of control cops. Perhaps public outrage is finally getting through to those that excuse these criminal cops
