I couldn’t imagine living in ABQ without a gun for protection. APD or BSCO are not your first line of defense from the violent criminals that are taking over our streets. The 2nd Amendment affords you the right to protect yourself and your family. Stripping law abiding gun owners
How is it that three fires start in a matter of hours in the same area? Don't recall any lightning in recent days. The wildfire experts will determine a cause - and ultimately it doesn't involve a reckless or depraved act. But this isn't making sense.
This doesn’t even seem real, but the Ruidoso area is surrounded by three massive wildfires…
Really hope people around there are staying safe. Hoping the firefighters and our news crews are doing the same.
So let me see if I have this right: Chief Medina is checking the area of the mayor’s press conference to make sure there’s no sign of homeless camps. He sees three homeless involved in a fight. One pulls a gun and opens fire. The chief witnesses a potential homicide. He doesn’t
Look like San Francisco? It’s not. It’s Walgreens at San Antonio/Wyoming in Albuquerque. And it’s every day. If we don’t take our city back, there will be nothing left to take.

Absolutely not.
In the past 4 months I watched a man get shot in the chest on Central and had a gun pulled on me by an idiot in a pickup truck. ABQ is a incredibly dangerous city. In fact, while not everyone is inclined to carry a gun for protection, I highly suggest you do.

Gotta love how “Crime-Wave Keller” in the last week has tried to rebrand himself a crime fighter. ABQ has been in the grips of a killing and crime crisis for 5 years and all he has offered is tired excuses and still no plan. This from the guy who had to be begged by APD to shut
That is so bad. They are in broad daylight, at a bus stop, shooting up. Not worried in the slightest about APD driving up on them. This is the picture of a lawless society. It’s why bandits walk into retail stores and take anything they want. Because they don’t fear any
Question: If this murder victim was able to locate her stolen car, why not APD? Someone needs to open an investigation into why this murder victim called 911 numerous times with GPS tracking information on her stolen car, but pursued it herself after three days.

I am a conservative and a gun owner. I support the 2nd Amendment. I also support congress passing legislation to enact Red Flag laws and expanded background checks for gun purchases. These are reasonable reforms with broad public support…
Your chief of police broadsides a car that damn near killed a driver and you haven’t bothered to look at the video? Or just a PR move to keep from having to answer tough questions about the chief’s actions?
So it begs the question: Why wasn’t the previous DA prosecuting shop lifters? After all, it has always been a crime. This is text book broken windows. Ignore the minor offenses and watch them become major crimes.

What the hell is wrong with you, Chief? You’re cracking jokes about the murder rate? You do realize these are not just numbers, they’re victims - with grieving families? So you can score political points? Have some respect and delete this.
It wasn’t preventable? All he had to do is turn right and he wouldn’t have sent a man to the hospital in critical condition. The crash was preventable and the crash review findings were predictable.

This is the 49th APD shooting in 4 years. This indicates a dangerous level of violent encounters with police officers. Yet the mayor & chief of police, in a desperate attempt to mislead the public, claims crime is down. Who thinks that?
APD: Officers fatally shoot armed
Here’s my issue: APD has a massive car theft problem. Victim says I have GPS tracking. She calls APD several times. Regrettably, she’s left to do the investigation. The response should have been an auto theft detective immediately assigned. Detective gets access to GPS tracking,

The Crime Summit? They act like this shit show started in the last 6 months. The crime crisis has been over 5 years in the making and several in that meeting, including the organizer, were in positions where they could have done something about it.
Ever the mouthpiece for
@MayorKeller
& his micromismanagement of APD, ABQ Journal crime reporter (spin regurgitator) Matt Reisen (who blocks me) uses this piece to repeat the lie that “both violent & property crime are trending down”. It goes unreported because APD ignores it 🤷♂️.
Brazen bandits pull off early morning smash-and-grab. Drove a vehicle through the parking lot gates and then right through the front of the business. Besides what was stolen, they leave behind tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Crime is destroying small businesses.
Tim “Crime-Wave” Keller is in way over his head. No one is safe. No place is safe. No plan in place. ABQ is a violent and extremely dangerous city and getting worse.
Delusional, clean up on aisle 1. This is as tone-deaf as any public official I've ever heard. "Our community has overcome the obstacles and challenges of the past few years." Like as of Sunday, everyone is safe. We just had an 11 year old gunned down in a hail of cartel bullets
This piece from

in today’s ABQ Journal is insulting & disrespectful to this City. Anyone who lives here knows that crime’s up & that the drop in reports (if that is even true) is due to lack of response from APD’s dispatch. Citizens see through this,
@MayorKeller
It’s insulting how the media never questions Medina on this BS. I did 10 minutes of research to learn APD reported 20 more murders to the FBI from 2021 and 2022 than they reported to the ABQ press. Embarrassing.
APD, which already understaffed, is using dozens of APD officers and PSA’s to detour traffic around the Kirtland AFB gate that is currently being blocked by protesters. Is this an appropriate use of resources? It is a crime to block a roadway.
@KKOBradio
APD releases video of Chief Medina crash. Medina said yesterday he waited until the intersection was clear before he took off across the intersection. In the video he clearly cuts off a vehicle in the westbound lane of Central Ave before he blast his truck into the Mustang in the
I won’t apologize for questioning APD’s data. And as a journalist, you should question it, too. Many of us, who have actually worked in LE, believe crime is not being reported for many reasons - including long wait times on hold for 242-COPS. As for murders, we’ve had more
Conflating an increase in police shootings with the idea that crime data isn’t trending down is shortsighted
You must understand a problem to address it — consider that two things can be true at once: overall crime numbers have dropped AND police have shot more people since 2017
Democrats stand and cheer as the president calls for standing up to Putin and republicans sit on their hands. What the fuck is wrong with my party?

All too common. It’s also why crime is much higher than being reported by APD. The system has been manipulated to paint a better picture. No one is being fooled by the fools.
