On March 16, Albuquerque police opened fire on homeless camper James Boyd in the New Mexico foothills. The entire scene was caught on video and sparked instant public outrage.
The death of James Boyd was one of many fatal shootings in New Mexico, something the Department of Justice determined was a pattern of unjustified excessive force by the Albuquerque Police Department.
Now a dashcam video has surfaced, which recorded audio of Albuquerque Police Officer Keith Sandy, one of the two officers involved in the fatal shooting of James Boyd, saying he would shoot Boyd in the penis:
Sandy: What do they have you guys doing here?
Ware: I don't know. The guy asked for state police.
Sandy: Who asked?
Ware: I don't know.
Sandy: For this f***ing lunatic? I'm going to shoot him in the penis with a shotgun here in a second.
Ware: You got uh less-lethal?
Sandy: I got
Ware: The Taser shotgun?
Sandy: Yeah.
Ware: Oh, I thought you guys got rid of those?
Sandy: ROP's got one...here's what we're thinking, because I don't know what's going on, nobody has briefed me...

OP
If I was a decent cop, I'd want this asswipe on humanity (Sandy) to stop breathing.

So, what are the chances a grand jury will not find it necessary to put him on trial.

How do decent cops differentiate between this asshole cop criminals and asshole non-cop criminals? Maybe they don't. Maybe most cops are like most very wealthy people--they all think alike.
