Evil has come to New Mexico in the form of him and his fanaticism.

We have enough refugees from other states here. But the OP is about a completely different state.

Grew up there.

becoming all the rage for the police and for Second Amendment absolutists. 30,000 gun deaths a year is such a mediocre number -- let's go for 50,000, and show the world that we really are number one in instant crime solutions.

Than you are by any terrorist.

With jobs, opportunity, education and justice you don't need a police state to keep order.

As US income disparity and injustice continues to grow, so will the police state. The rich will never shy away from spending money to protect their entitlements from the lesser classes.

People pretend they don't notice. They refuse to acknowledge it. But everyone sees it. The US has become a police state protecting the scumbags who spent the last 40 years sucking wealth out of the middle class.

And with the "new democrats" nearly impossible to distinguish from 1980 neo-cons, things are going to continue get worse before they get better.

Things won't change until Citizens United is thrown out. Right after Hell freezes over.

Create deepening chaos by taking what people need to survive, and hoarding it for themselves.....

There can be no other choice but to protect themselves from the predictable enflamed reactions of the *ahem*subhuman mongrels*ahem* (all of us, not just PBO)

Thanks for this. Jones must be one of Gov. Martinez's pets. I can't see anyone else tolerating him.

and a lot of people vote the name, not the person.

Add to that a certain amount of the usual Democratic apathy in an off year, and the Tejana teabagger might just get a second term.

Because this is a disaster in the making.

The coming blowback against police that think they are an occupying army in this nation will not end well.

state police and ask them how much this will make the state insurance premiums go up. I'd make darn sure the insurance underwriter got his hands on that manual.

While I'd like to see Martinez voted out of office and this guy removed for the obvious reason that he's unqualified to do this job, if it can't be done that way, get it done where you can.

Any attorneys who specialize in tort law might want to consider moving there.

I have been back and forth for years. YES - parts of the city are going under - 'R' Governor ignores it. The police are undereducated and fearful for the most part.... the older ones are generally OK, but I have seen very disturbing behavior from the 30's and under crowd.

There is SCOTUS law on fleeing vehicles. I hope his state has a lot of extra cash. The rulings are not in favor of shooting at fleeing vehicles. This us just for starters. I hear the state is beautiful though. Yet probably not in my travel plans now.

"routine" traffic stops for many factors. It could be something as simple as someone with a small amount of drugs on them, along with a gun, to felons possessing guns and up to major traffickers getting stopped. They'll figure if they try to run they are going to get shot at, so they might as well save the trouble and shoot the cop as he is walking up to the car.

I hate to say it, but watch and see. This IS going to happen, as long as this Jack Jones is in charge and this is the way new recruits are being trained.

As for this part:

If you are just going to teach police to shoot people you can cut down on all that law enforcement and constitutional rights stuff.

if you know what's good for you!

By hiring former military to train the police to behave as though they are in Afghanistan.
