Feds: 'Excessive force' used by Albuquerque police AP | By RUSSELL CONTRERAS Published April 10, 2014 06:18PM EDT
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A scathing report by the U.S. Justice Department released Thursday revealed a troubling and often unjustified pattern of excessive force by the Albuquerque Police Department and recommended that New Mexico's largest city become the latest municipality to adopt reforms aimed at cleaning up its police force.
The report, which immediately drew support from Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry and other city officials, came after federal officials spent months conducting interviews, scouring videos and reviewing hundreds of pages of documents. According to the report, Albuquerque officers too frequently used deadly force on people who posed a minimal threat and used a higher level of force too often on those with mental illness, often violating their constitutional rights.
Albuquerque joins a list of cities targeted by the Justice Department over allegations of brutality and violations of constitutional rights by police officers. Portland and New Orleans, for example, are among those that have been investigated amid similar complaints.
In Albuquerque, federal investigators focused on 37 shootings — 23 of them fatal — by officers since 2010. By comparison, police in the similarly sized cities of Denver and Oakland have been involved in fatal and non-fatal shootings totaling 27 and 23, respectively.
Federal investigators found the majority of those Albuquerque shootings were unreasonable and violated constitutional rights. They also uncovered a significant number of instances in which officers used less lethal measures such as Tasers in an unconstitutional manner.
"Based on our investigation, we have reasonable cause to believe that APD engages in a pattern or practice of use of excessive force, including deadly force, in violation of the Fourth Amendment," Jocelyn Samuels, the acting assistant attorney general of the Justice Department's civil rights division, wrote in a letter to Berry. "We have determined that structural and systemic deficiencies — including insufficient oversight, inadequate training, and ineffective policies — contribute to the use of unreasonable force."
The Justice Department recommended that Albuquerque make changes to its use of force policy to, among other things, place more emphasis on techniques for de-escalating potentially violent situations.
Samuels said the investigation was thorough and that it became clear the problems within the police department were systemic.
"The reforms we are proposing ... are going to result in the kinds of structures that will over time create a change in the culture," she said. "It starts with commitment from the top."
She acknowledged that changes will not happen overnight.
The findings served as validation for critics who have long complained that a culture of aggression has permeated the Albuquerque Police Department. However, some community members voiced concerns after Thursday's announcement that recommendations have been made in the past with city leaders failing to take action.
Berry said the city stands ready to work with the Justice Department to make needed changes.
It could take weeks to hammer out the final blueprint for overhauling the Police Department, but Berry said he fully expects that a federal monitor will be assigned to the city.
"It won't be quick and easy, but we can achieve it," he said of the goals laid out by the Justice Department report.
If a federal monitor is appointed, and the city agrees on terms, Albuquerque would join cities such as Detroit, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Seattle that are subject to federal oversight.
Scrutiny of the Albuquerque force is one of 15 investigations of police departments launched during President Barack Obama's first term.
The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 gives the Justice Department the authority to file a civil suit against law enforcement agencies that engage in a pattern or practice of misconduct. The law was enacted after Los Angeles police officers beat motorist Rodney King in 1991.
The Justice Department also can sue law enforcement agencies if they engage in discrimination and receive federal funds.
Samuels did not offer a timetable for negotiations with Albuquerque, but said the agency would remain engaged for "as long as is necessary."
Last week, Berry asked the federal agency to expedite its review and help overhaul the police force. His request followed a violent protest last month in response to the shooting death of a homeless man who had threatened to kill officers. The man was gathering his belongings and turning away when officers opened fire, helmet camera video showed.
The Justice Department recommendations also call for a more objective and rigorous internal accountability system that includes reviews and investigations when force is used.
Also, officers would be required to participate in crisis intervention training and higher eligibility standards would be set for supervisors and staff assigned to tactical units.
Samuels also noted that the department's "broken" civilian oversight process would need to be fixed.
Until Thursday's announcement, federal officials released few details of the Albuquerque investigation but conducted hundreds of interviews with officials and residents.
Jewel Hall, a retired teacher and president of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center Board, participated in many of the meetings. She said she was hopeful the department would adopt some of the recommendations. Her group said the Justice Department recommendations didn't go far enough and called for a "full-fledged monitor" of Albuquerque police.
Still, she said the community "needs to be involved and their input needs to be respected."
New Mexico's acting U.S. Attorney, Damon Martinez, called Thursday a milestone for the city.
"The coming days and months will determine the next generation of what policing will look like in our city," he said. "We are at a unique time and place where the city can decisively determine the culture of the Albuquerque Police Department and its relationship with the community."
In a statement, the Albuquerque Police Officers' Association said the union appreciated the changes recommended by the Justice Department. "We as an association are committed to assisting all of our officers' in this (department) in addressing issues of concern that have been raised and helping them move forward in a positive fashion that is fair to all." ___ Follow Russell Contreras on Twitter at http://twitter.com/russcontreras Associated Press writer Susan Montoya Bryan in Albuquerque contributed to this report.

Prosecutor's dad kidnapped in 'elaborate' plot; FBI rescues him
(CNN) -- An elaborate kidnapping plot that targeted a Wake Forest, North Carolina, man ended with his dramatic rescue in Atlanta by an FBI hostage squad around midnight Wednesday, law enforcement said Thursday.
Frank Arthur Janssen is receiving medical treatment but is safe after being held captive for five days by five people who face federal kidnapping charges, according to law enforcement officials who held a news conference Thursday in Wake Forest.
The kidnappers sent demands to Janssen's family "for the benefit" of Kevin Melton, an inmate at Polk Correctional Institution in Butner, North Carolina, according to an affidavit in support of a search warrant related to criminal complaints against the defendants.
Melton is serving a life sentence without parole, said FBI North Carolina special agent John Strong.
Janssen's daughter, an assistant district attorney in Wake County, had prosecuted Melton, officials said.
The five facing charges are: Jenna Paulin Martin, Tiana Maynard, Clifton James Roberts and Jevante Price -- also known as "Flame" and Michael Montreal Gooden -- also known as "Hot," according to court documents.
Don Connelly, law enforcement coordinator with the U.S. attorney's office, tells CNN that pleas have not been entered.
Authorities told CNN none of the defendants has retained counsel.
The affidavit details threats sent via text to Janssen's wife and daughters, a drama that underscores Strong's description of the group at the news conference.
He called them "very dangerous people."
On April 5 a woman knocked on Janssen's door, and when he opened it, several people jumped him and used a Taser to subdue him, according to the affidavit. The attackers dragged him to their car and took off, crossing into Georgia, the document shows.
Janssen's wife, Christie, knew that her husband was going out for a bike ride Saturday, but when she came home that day after a shopping outing to find he'd not returned, she grew alarmed, according to a news release from Wake Forest. She saw what appeared to be drops of blood outside their house, it said, and called police.
Threatening texts to wife
On Monday, at 1:51 a.m. Christie Janssen began to receive text messages from a phone number with an Atlanta area code, the affidavit says. The messages said her husband had been kidnapped.
One text said her husband was in the trunk of a car en route to California.
Another threatened her, saying that if she contacted law enforcement, "we will send [Janssen] back to you in 6 boxes and every chance we get we will take someone in your family to Italy and torture and kill them ... we will do a drive by and gun down anybody...and throw a grenade in your window."
If the kidnappers demands were not met, her husband would be hurt, the texts promised.
On April 9, Janssen received another text from a different number which also had an Atlanta area code, the affidavit said. That message included a photo of her husband bound and seated in a chair.
Another text came: "Tomorrow we will call you again an (sic) if you can not tell me where my things are at tomorrow i will start torchering (sic)" Frank Janssen.
"If we find out the police seen this will kill both people now and go for you (sic) family," the text read, suggesting another person had been abducted.
One of the numbers connected to the kidnapping was identified as transmitting messages from Polk Correctional Institution, according to the affidavit, and the user of that particular number placed 99 calls to Melton's daughters.
Melton's girlfriend told law enforcement that that number belonged to the inmate, the affidavit said.
Law enforcement monitored calls between that number and another involved in the kidnapping, the affidavit detailed.
'Get a bag, put it over his head'
According to the document, two male callers could be heard saying:
"The first spot we are checking out is close to the house."
"We want to make sure it's in a secluded area and the ground is soft so we can go 3 feet deep."
"Get a bag, put it over his head, and stuff something in his mouth."
"However you feel like doing it, just do it."
"Make sure to clean the area up. Don't leave anything. Don't leave any DNA behind."
"Get some night time medication and make him go to sleep."
"Make him drink the whole bottle of Nyquil."
"Let's do it in the wee hours of the morning."
"Make sure it is not a half-assed job. Get bleach and throw it on the walls. Maybe do it in the closet."
After that conversation, authorities tried to enter Melton's prison cell to find the phone number used in the communications. Melton tried to bar the door and smashed the phone, the affidavit says.
Later, at 10:40 p.m. April 9, law enforcement monitored a conversation between two callers who stated, "FBI helicopters are outside. We gotta get rid of holmes."
A woman can be heard saying, "I'm not going anywhere, FBI are all over."
While the search was on for Janssen in Atlanta, law enforcement traced one of the phone numbers to a residence in Austell, Georgia, belonging to Tiana Maynard. She was not there, but her children were, and law enforcement took them into protective custody, the affidavit said.
Shortly after Janssen was rescued, Clifton Roberts drove a blue Chevy Tahoe with Maynard and Jenna Martin to a police station to get Maynard's children. Inside the Tahoe, law enforcement saw picks, shovels and a .45-caliber pistol, according to the affidavit.
In connection with the search of Atlanta residences linked to the threatening text messages, officers questioned Price and Gooden, the affidavit details.
Price "revealed his awareness of the kidnapping and acknowledged that he and Gooden were supposed to be the 'night watch' over the victim," the document states.
Price led agents to the Forest Cove apartment complex in southeast Atlanta where Janssen was rescued, according to officials.
A father reunited with family, a shaken DA office
Janssen has been reunited with his family, officials said Thursday. After he was freed, doctors evaluated him, agent Strong said, adding that he is receiving medical care.
The FBI in Charlotte and Atlanta, the Wake Forest Police Department and the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation are continuing to investigate the case, along with other law enforcement agencies in North Carolina and Georgia.
Ned Mangum, district attorney for Wake County confirmed to CNN that Colleen Janssen works in his office.
"This is different from anything we've ever had to my knowledge in the state of North Carolina," he said. "I've been in this court house for 16 years and, unfortunately from time to time, there are threats made to court house officials. You rarely see threats against people's family and certainly rarely see something with this much precision."
He said his staff is "incredibly professional" and handles serious cases but "this one really affected us because it's one of our own," he said. "I've never seen our office as anxious as the past several days and I'm so proud of them for not saying anything to compromise the investigation."

An aspiring TV producer, who had worked for Comedy Central’s viral video-based series “Tosh.0,” was accidentally killed on Monday night when Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies mistook him for a mad slasher, FOX411 has learned.
A panicky 911 caller told dispatchers a man with a 10-inch butcher knife was threatening people. So when Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies saw a wounded, bloody man rush out of a West Hollywood apartment with someone on his heels, they opened fire.
But the man they gunned down Monday night wasn't the slasher; he was a fleeing hostage.

Small price to pay for officer safety. Don't look at this of a senseless death at the hands of government agents, but instead a patriot sacrifice in the name of "public safety". It was "by the book". Nobody will be prosecuted...they will march out the remorseful cops that indiscriminately reigned down bullets out of panic.
But be afraid of the private gun owner. That is supposedly the threat to your life.

Some will stand with the tyrants and the rest will stand with THE PEOPLE. When the guillotine starts to fall on necks, we will see what the excuses were for being against THE PEOPLE. The the millions of voices may drown out the pleading.
