EXCESSIVE FORCE: Protesters Storm Albuquerque Police HQ Over VIDEO of APD Killing Homeless Man

What started as a peaceful protest against the Albuquerque Police Department quickly turned violent by nightfall with officers in riot gear breaking out the tear gas.

At least 500 people gathered on the steps of the Albuquerque Police department on Sunday to condemn the recent police killing of 38-year-old James Boyd.

‘Let them know that your city is not a place for war games against the homeless and the less fortunate,’ the group said in the video.
