Jury sees video showing arrest of Davon Lymon. By Chris McKee https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/jury-sees-video-showing-arrest-of-davon- lymon/1902681890 Excerpt: The defense in Davon Lymon’s murder trial hasn’t even started to call witnesses, but prosecutors are already trying to undermine Lymon’s expected self-defense argument.  Lymon is charged in the October 2015 shooting that killed Albuquerque Police Officer Daniel Webster. Lymon’s defense argued in opening statements that Lymon shot Officer Webster because he was in fear of his own life.  In the eighth day of trial Friday, prosecutors called long-time APD Detective Todd Babcock to the stand. Babcock testified about being called out to the scene of the shooting in the Walgreens parking lot at Central and Eubank. The detectives says he interviewed witnesses and police officers, and prepared warrants and looked for evidence—including a jacket Lymon was said to be wearing, which was never recovered.But after several questions about his on-scene work, Babcock’s testimony quickly morphed into answering questions about traffic stops in general. Prosecutors even asked Babcock why an officer would step on a suspect’s foot during a traffic stop, something Officer Webster did to Davon Lymon the night he was shot.“If I were to perceive that someone is about to try and run from me, as an attempt to at least slow them down, possibly place my foot on their foot, so they have to get out from under my foot before they go, and hopefully, within that split second or so, I can try and react in some way,” said Babcock. https://www.krqe.com/news/albuquerque-metro/jury-sees-video-showing-arrest-of-davon- lymon/1902681890 Articles Real Crimes Excerpt from Real Crimes: (Albq.

According to State Police, Gonzales was involved in a domestic dispute with his ex-wife at a Tucumcari residence. The woman and her grandchildren were able to leave the home, but Gonzales stayed inside and only agreed to talk to police officers through a screen door. Tucumcari police turned the case over to State Police, who in turn asked for assistance from the Albuquerque Police Department SWAT team. At one point during the standoff, police said Gonzales stepped out onto the home’s porch armed with a shotgun. A short time later he grabbed a pistol, rifles and ammunition, and pointed the rifle at officers, who took cover, police said.  After trying to negotiate with Gonzales by phone for more than an hour and a half, Gonzales stood at the front door with shotguns in both hands and threatened police, police said. Bader and Ornelas fired at Gonzales, killing him.

The New Mexico cops did not appreciate Jillian Beck walking away from them after they responded to a neighborhood dispute, prompting an officer to grab her arm, twist it behind her back and slam her to the ground, leaving her with a fractured arm as he planted his knee on her back.  When the woman lifted her head to console her four-year-old son who began crying, the Las Cruces police officer slammed her face on a bed of rocks, leaving her with a broken nose and a bruised and bloodied face.  When her husband became alarmed, thinking his wife was choking on her own blood, he walked up to help her, but he was also arrested.  Las Cruces police officer Isaiah Baker then turned to a female officer and bragged about his deeds, telling her that Jillian Beck “got thrown” and ended up with a “face full of rocks.”  “Cool,” the female officer responded, according to an audio clip that was heard during a civil trial last week. https://photographyisnotacrime.com/2017/02/17/new-mexico-couple-awarded-1-6-million-in-police-abuse- case/ USA Today (2018/02/26 ) NM City Settles Police Brutality Case 1.4 million https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/02/26/new-mexico-city-settles-police-brutality-case- 1-4-million/372193002/ Baker, Troy (New) Santa Fe.  Santa Fe PD.  Sergeant.  Head of Santa Fe Police Officer Association.

Baker says personal views expressed on his Facebook post do not affect his on-duty behavior. "I'm not bringing it to work," he tells SFR. "You find one person I am not giving appropriate community service to due to their gender, race or ethnicity. Find one." Baker briefly lost his job after a 2010 incident in which a man claimed he and four other officers used excessive force when arresting him for disorderly conduct in a Walmart parking lot. An external review board reinstated Baker and another officer, Steve Cosban. (We asked the police department for additional complaints filed against Baker. We'll keep you updated with any responses.) Baker, a 22-year veteran of Santa Fe city police, was elected president of the Santa Fe Police Officers Association about a year ago. The union represents roughly 150 sworn officers and civilian employees, according to Baker. Not every one of Baker's Facebook posts expresses his political views. For example, he routinely posts memorials for fallen officers. He also occasionally shares personal news, including a photograph of the trophy he received after the Santa Fe Police Department awarded him 2016 Supervisor of the Year. https://www.sfreporter.com/news/2017/02/20/to-protect-and-troll/ (2017/08/23)  Over and Out: Controversial SFPD sergeant quits before chief can decide if there's a reason to fire him.

His temporary hire was meant to fill the position vacated by Esparza’s temporary promotion to sergeant on Jan. 18, 2014.  Gallegos said the approximate amount of funding in the budget he needs to move Blea from temporary, without benefits, to full-time, with benefits, is $7,000.  If the Department is able to open Blea’s position to a full-time one, Blea will have to apply for the job and test for it, Gallegos said. While Blea might have to reapply for the position he currently holds, Officer Jose Martinez is still on administrative leave with pay after he was arrested by State Police, Oct. 14 in Arroyo Seco, on a charge of aggravated drunk driving. He allegedly refused to take a blood-alcohol level test, resulting in the aggravated charge. http://www.riograndesun.com/news/deputy-chief-riles-city-s-investigations-division/article_a3047c78-5c29- 5df8-a27f-92086f8cad7a.html Brachle, Greg  Albuquerque.  APD.  Lieutenant.

He ended up in the Roswell Police Department, three hours south of Albuquerque. While he was there, a city councilor brought a civil-rights lawsuit against him—she alleged that he had arrested her for exercising her right to free speech—and five citizens filed complaints. He was accused of injuring a man by throwing him to the ground; of humiliating a mother when arresting her for speeding; and of pointing his gun at someone who got out of his car too slowly. Later, he estimated that he had drawn his gun during a traffic stop on at least ten occasions. In 2005, he applied to work for the police department in Rio Rancho, just north of Albuquerque, but he was rejected for having a bad attitude. Since the last time he applied to the Albuquerque Police Department, Brown had been in two car accidents and filed for bankruptcy—events that the department typically considered indications of instability—but his second application was accepted, and he was given a signing bonus of five thousand dollars. He didn’t take a psychological exam. His training lasted six weeks…[after a struggle with Christopher…) Brown unholstered his pistol, a nine-millimetre handgun that he’d owned since he was sixteen. He pressed the muzzle against Christopher’s back and pulled the trigger. He didn’t hear any noise, and wondered if the gun had malfunctioned. He squeezed the trigger again. This time Christopher said, “Ow.” Christopher was still trying to get up, so Brown shot him in the back a third time.

Brown and Richard Hilger shot Torres in the back at close range while serving an arrest warrant on a felony charge of aggravated auto burglary for trying to carjack a woman at a traffic light. During the confrontation with police, Torres tried to punch Hilger and grabbed his gun as they scuffled in the suspect's backyard, police said. But Bacon said the officers did not present the arrest warrant when they confronted Torres in his yard. http :// america. aljazeera .com/articles/2014/6/11/albuquerque-policeschizophrenic.html Burns, Larry Jal, Chief, Sex.  /(2014) Jal, NM.
