#6 Poor polices. They don't even know who they should cover up for anymore. Interesting times ahead.

#7 Shooting charge dropped against suspected New Mexico shooter

Finally, some sense. From Skidmark’s second article:

Bernalillo County District Attorney Raúl Torrez said he had serious concerns an initial police investigation into the Monday shooting did not identify who owned multiple weapons collected at the scene, including knives, nor interview key bystanders and police.

Torrez dropped an initial aggravated battery with a deadly weapon charge against Steven Baca, 31, after images emerged online showing protester Scott Williams, 39, holding what was rumored to be a knife before he was allegedly shot by Baca. Torrez said he expected Baca to claim self defense in the case.

I note the plural on knives, and look forward to DA Torrez, who also has such an evocative name in this situation, presenting charges against Mr. Williams for a number of things that carry long prison sentences.

Tribalism is such wonderful fun until it turns out one is in exactly the wrong one for the situation...

#8 ...why local police were not involved is another question...

When you read an article in which questions like that are left unanswered, not even asked, you know you're reading one-sided propaganda.

#11 Bringing a gun to a club fight will often freeze a person in place. However, if it's a white cop bringing a gun to a taser fight, bets are off.

#12 1. Shots (plural rang out and the attacker is wounded. Somebody needs more range time.

2. A .45ACP to the face would stop this nonsense immediately and would encourager les autres to think again. Stop the spraying and praying with those damn worthless 9 mms.

3. I'm old and cranky and crotchety and would prefer a rifle and far more distance.

#13 On a side note - NM is the last of the wild west.
