Albuquerque police face hundreds of protesters; cyberattack on Website.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Hundreds of protesters marched past riot police in Albuquerque on Sunday, days after a YouTube video emerged threatening retaliation for a recent deadly police shooting.

The video, which bore the logo of the computer hacking collective Anonymous, warned of a cyberattack on city websites and called for the protest march.

Albuquerque police said their site had been breached early Sunday afternoon and remained down hours later.

Investigators had not uncovered the source of the hack, police spokesman Simon Drobik said.

Until the police are held accountable this shit will continue. Just like the Wall Street criminals. What we need are some "deterrents".

FUCKING JAIL TIME.

Since my sister and brother in law were cops there in the late 50's early 60's!

If they could see this they would be horrified!

So much for protect and serve, it hunt and kill now!

Albuquerque – Law Enforcement Shot Another Unarmed Man and Confiscated Videos *Graphic Warning*
Today, a US Marshal shot an unarmed man in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Police allege that he had not been meeting his parole requirements since February and was wanted on new charges including 3 counts of child abuse and an account of aggravated battery. The victim is Gilbert Angelo Serrano who is currently in stable condition. The victim’s sister and her mother are currently at the UNM Hospital. Police were refusing to let Serrano’s family visit him in the hospital. Right after the shooting, US marshals started confiscating phones that had pictures and video of the shooting. Several witnesses told KRQE that Serrano was not armed. People also came to protest at the scene after news of the shooting spread online.

A witness, Gabriel Valdez, told KRQE about the shooting, “’Get out of the car! Get out of the vehicle!’ And then boom! She shot like right away. She just shot right away.”
