Albuquerque City Council hears from police department’s supporters, opponents by Chloe Henson
assistant-news@dailylobo.com @ChloeHenson5 More than 100 people submitted public comments with respect to the Albuquerque Police Department at an Albuquerque City Council meeting Monday evening. Many of those who attended the meeting were there to protest what they consider to be excessive use of force by APD. Some speakers told their personal stories about their encounters with the police department. One such was Tammy Redwine, sister of Alfred Redwine, who was shot dead on March 25 by APD officers. “The last words I heard coming out of my brother’s mouth were ‘I’m afraid they’re going to shoot me,’” she said. Tammy said the Council needs to respond to the APD shootings and called for officers involved in fatal shootings to be put on trial.
