The Daily Sheeple – by Kimberly Paxton
Nobody seems to play good cop, bad cop anymore. It’s gotten to the point where it’s just bad cop, worse cop.
A homeless man camping in the Sandia Foothills in the outskirts of Albuquerque had the misfortune to become the subject of a standoff with the trigger-happy Albuquerque PD.
The Daily Sheeple recently warned that the APD was being trained to use “more deadly force”, and it seems as though the officers have taken those lessons seriously. You may recall another victim of the APD who was shot at when he ran from police or the case of the Taos officer who opened fire on a minivan full of kids. And who can forget the multiple cavity searches (like this one or even this 8 probe incident) diligently undertaken by New Mexico’s finest?
Unfortunately for James M. Boyd, his encounter with the APD turned into a brutal assault that ended in his death. After a three hour stand-off, Boyd had agreed to surrender. Nevergetbusted.com reported the tragic events that followed:
When the situation reached its climax around 7:30 p.m., Boyd had allegedly agreed to end the standoff, but warned APD that they must keep their word.
“Don’t change up the agreement,” Boyd said to officers. “I’m going to try and walk now. Don’t try to harm me. If you keep your word, I can keep you safe.”
Boyd put on his backpack. He reached down to pick up a thermos, placed it in his right hand and grabbed a blue bag in his left hand.
“Don’t worry about safety, I’m not a [expletive] murderer,” Boyd continued. “Don’t try it. Don’t try to harm me. I won’t try to harm you. Alright?”
Boyd tried to walk away. But police were not going to let that happen.
“Do it,” one of the officers said, and a flashbang grenade was lobbed at Boyd’s feet. A loud explosion and a puff of smoke followed.
Police can be heard shouting, “Get on the ground,” as they rushed in with weapons trained on him. A barking K9 advanced toward him. Mr. Boyd, now under attack, dropped his bags and instinctively retrieved a knife from his pocket. Nevertheless, he did not advance and did not make any threatening gestures. The nearest officer still remained several feet away.
Boyd stood there for approximately 5 seconds, then turned away from officers and began to descend to the ground — possibly a sign of compliance with demands to get on the ground. For reasons unclear, police opened fire. A volley of rifle rounds, beanbag rounds, and tasers fired at the man in near unison.
James Boyd fell instantly to the ground. Officers barked orders at him to get his hands up. Boyd could be heard on video saying “I can’t move.”
“Please don’t hurt me anymore,” he moaned.
Unsatisfied, police opened fire again, this time on his prone, lifeless body with beanbag rounds from a shotgun. He did not budge after repeated strikes. Next, the police dog was turned loose on him and gnawed on his leg. He remained unresponsive.
Officers then moved in and secured his body. Boyd did not survive.
Ultimately, 15 seconds after agreeing to end the standoff, he was shot and lying on the ground. (source)
The entire reprehensible execution of this man was caught on a helmet cam.

The APD, unsurprisingly, stated in the face of this video evidence that the murder was justified.
Chief Eden called the shooting justified at the news conference, saying officers used non-lethal force first and that there was a direct threat made at an unarmed K9 officer. According to Chief Eden, Boyd was less than eight feet from the unarmed canine officer.
“Actually if you watch the video tape, all the less than lethal devices were in fact deployed. It was when the canine officer was down directing the canine dog that the suspect pulled out the two knives and directed a threat to the canine officer who had no weapons drawn. He was handling the dog,” Chief Eden said.
News 13 asked Chief Eden directly, “do you believe this was a justified shooting?”
Chief Eden responded, “Yes, if you follow case law, ‘Garner versus Tennessee’, there was directed threat to an officer.” (source)
Cast of Criminals Cops
I think it’s really important to get to know the folks in your community, don’t you? Let’s take a closer look at some of the cops involved in this travesty. The APD released the names of two police officers who were involved in the shooting.
Officer Keith Sandy
As you saw in the video, the victim was laying on his stomach saying he was unable to get up when a police officer named Keith Sandy walked up and shot the prone man in the back. Officer Sandy, pictured below, must be so proud of his brave, heroic action. You can learn more about Officer Sandy’s own criminal history HERE.
Officer Dominique Perez
The other cop who shot the victim was Officer Dominique Perez. Doesn’t he look like a nice guy instead of a heartless killer of the homeless?
Perez and Sandy are both on paid vacation leave pending the outcome of a review of the murder officer involved shooting.
Police Chief Gordon Eden
And finally, this is the estimable Police Chief Eden, the leader who found the actions of these officers acceptable (because, gee, everyone knows that you should just sit there and let a dog bite you.) Although he did not fire a bullet into the man, by saying that this type of brutality is justified, he is endorsing this kind of behavior in the future.
The telephone number for the APD is (505) 242-COPS. (See what they did there? Clever!)
You can use THIS LINK to report police misconduct to the APD. (I dunno, murdering a homeless mentally ill man in cold blood seems sort of misconduct-y, don’t you think?)

Serve and protect has become abuse and suppress.
These thugs are systematically being indoctrinated in israel.
Totally inhuman. The victim just wanted to get away from the madness.
Serve & Protect has more become this:

Who we should really be doing something about
2011:
17 Americans killed by terrorists.
393 Americans killed by police
2012:
10 Americans killed by terrorists
410 Americans Killed by police
now im not even including assault, abuse and battery, let alone wrongful detainment etc…
terrorists…lol don’t make me laugh,, the threat is already here, and it didn’t come from a cave in the middle east, it came from a doughnut store on the corner
Tom, you’re only counting the “on duty” numbers (and your count appears low) – Its been said that the “off duty” numbers are twice that – There appears to be a consentrated effort to keep any “off duty” crimes, deaths, “accidents”, “mishaps”, wife beatings, etc., etc., Off the record
There exists a website that is trying to gather just this kind of info – I wish I could remember where I saw it last week
right, that’s what is so dam scary about this. And so wrong
Time wounds all heals!
“The thief may steal by the light of the new moon, but come up ins are a real bitch.”.
These clowns their lives are not going to end well. I’d predict horribly.
Hi “Vast Right Wing Conspiritor”. I don’t think you are horrible at predicting, au contraire, I think you are dead on 🙂
These cops are murdering us.
These hooligans should be tried for first degree murder, and if found guilty, sentenced to death. To do otherwise would send a message to badge-bearing hooligans that they can get away with murder. Cf. Bolshevek Revolution, as related in Solzynetzyn’s book “Gulag Archepellago.
Jim Kerr
The Zionist are having the police kill off the homeless population. We don’t need these useless eaters around. I see Bloomberg and all the other psychopathic elite thinking that.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
still true today
““Actually if you watch the video tape, all the less than lethal devices were in fact deployed. It was when the canine officer was down directing the canine dog that the suspect pulled out the two knives and directed a threat to the canine officer who had no weapons drawn. He was handling the dog,” Chief Eden said.”
Actually, you Communist piece of shit, you are a completely psychotic inhumane, son of a bitch who’s head deserves to be nailed to the wall for all to see!!! I hope someone chops your head clear off, as I have ZERO remorse for you! How you live with yourself is beyond me.
As far as the group of policemen are concerned, seriously? One of you can’t handle a single guy with a knife? Innocent or not. And you call yourself a big shot cop? What a bunch of COWARDS!!! How many people does it take to arrest one person? 10? I’m sorry, but I remember when being a BIG man, meant that I had the ability to stick up for myself and fight my own battles without the help of my pack.
What a bunch of spineless, irrational, immoral, illogical, dumb-down, childish scumbags who care nothing but for themselves and the fact that, “I have this badge and you have to do what I say or else.” WAHH!!!
Sounds like the kid on the show, “Game of Thrones” when he has to go around telling everyone, “I am THE KING! I will punish you.” The character, Tywin Lannister played by Charles Dance puts it perfectly when he replies to him by saying, “Any man who must say, ‘I am the king’ is no true king'”, meaning a king is someone who is respected and if he is not getting respect, then he is no leader and is not fit to be a king.
The same goes for policemen. If they constantly have to tell everyone, “I’m a policeman. You have to do what I say or I’ll shoot”, then they refuse to be policemen and are nothing more than children with guns who need to be taken out back and beaten.
For that Game of Throne scene that I’m talking about, watch the clip here. It says it all:
Sandy and Perez. Names and pics reveal much.
If you run, satans minions now have the authority to shoot you dead.
Here in N. Ca. Men, women, and children are going missing and theres barely a whisper about it in our loca media. Just recently a17 and 13 year old females gone missing in 2 weeks. Thats just for starters. Its way worse than that. October of last year was a busy month for disappearances. Even years before then with no slowing down in sight. Protect your children even your adult children as best you can. Im willing to bet its at epidemic proportions all over the country but the media is hiding most of it.
