Albuquerque Police: Do not shoot me, please
It appears that Albuquerque, NM, has become a death trap. One must assume based on recent performance that the Albuquerque police shoot first and ask questions only if someone forces them to. The police are now under investigation and injunctions from the federal government due to multiple deaths and injuries related to relatively minor infractions, including some that have been caught on video. At least one person with mental illness has been shot down — in the back — for the apparent crime of not acting fast enough to obey an order from a police office who was too far away to be in danger. (Search the Web for “albuquerque police” to see the video if you must.

We don’t have to put up with trigger happy police any more than with trigger happy Zimmermans.

Shoot Back

The solution is to deprive the city of money with which to fund this criminal behavior. So here are some easy actions you can take to increase the pressure on the municipality.

  • Buy NOTHING in or from Albuquerque. Google the following and buy nothing from them:

    • major manufacturing firms
    • major retail establishments with headquarters in Albuquerque.
    • largest retail stores.

  • Write to the city.
  • Write to the state legislature.
  • Identify research grants to companies and universities in the city and demand offending police & officials be terminated.
  • Etc. We welcome your suggestions on applying the required pressure on all the killers and their supervisors, advocates and apologists.

Alterna-querques

Take away the money, and things will change. The city of Albuquerque is in Bernalillo County; the county is much larger than the central city. Access to the city is principally along Interstate 25 from the north and south and along Interstate 40 from east to west. This access is bounded on the interstates and other highways. If you use the following exits you can largely avoid spending any money in Albuquerque.

  • I-40 Eastbound from AZ or Gallup, NM. Exit at Atrisco Vista Blvd. Services are available along Central Ave., old US 66 west of the city limits.
  • I-40 Westbound from TX. Exit at Tijeras, NM Hyw 337. Services are available along old US 66 east of the city limits.
  • I-25 Southbound from CO or Santa Fe. Exit at Tramway Rd., NM 556. Services are available along Tramway Blvd. east and west of the freeway.
  • I-25 Northbound from El Paso, Las Cruces, Socorro.

      Option 1: Exit at Service Road 61, NM 317. Services are available.
      Option 2: Exit at Broadway Blvd SE, NM 47. Turn RIGHT; left takes you into the city. Services are available as you proceed southward on Broadway/47.
    • Option 2: Exit at Bernalillo, North Valley. East, try Tijeras and Route 66. South, explore Socorro and Las Cruces with their 500 year old Spanish and Mexican culture, and in the west enjoy the western charm of Gallup.
    • Flight Plan: Flight is apparently not a good plan in Albuquerque, as the police will shoot you in the back. Oh, did you mean flight as in air travel? Unfortunately the airport is within the city limits, but you don’t need to buy much. Just have a coffee and danish and avoid the big restaurants with their big meals and big prices.
