It was not just a “pattern or practice of use of excessive force, including deadly force” that the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation found. On April 10, 2014, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Civil Rights Division, submitted a scathing 46-page investigation report on an 18-month civil rights investigation of the Albuquerque Police Department (APD). Department of Justice hammered the Albuquerque Police Department in 2014 for a “pattern or practice of use of excessive force, including deadly force.” “Keller inherited a tough situation after the U.S. Following are those editorial comments with fact checking analysis and commentary. There were a few misstatements and conclusions in the editorial containing false content and false statements made by Mayor Keller. Keller will need to hit the ground running to tackle these and other pressing issues to move Albuquerque toward a brighter future.” We also urge him to do his homework and due diligence on grand ideas like the stadium before asking for voter support. “… we accompany our endorsement with an appeal that, if elected, Keller get the Gateway Center going while adopting a more aggressive approach to tackling the homeless issue, redeploy resources to cut 911 response times (so our senior citizens don’t have to play Dirty Harry) and follow through on recent promises to support legislative changes that would keep more repeat violent suspects in custody prior to trial. Saying Keller is the most qualified of the 3 is telling voters we do not have much of a choice.Īt the end of the endorsement, the Journal editors make an appeal that borders on begging Mayor Keller to do better if elected to another years by saying: Saying that Keller is the “best of the field” is a cause for snickering when only 3 are running. Four years ago, there were 8 candidates running for Mayor with more than 3 qualified to be mayor. It did not say that Keller has done a brilliant or fantastic job as Mayor.
What is revealing is that in no way can the Journal endorsement be considered unequivocal. … The reality for Albuquerque voters is their choice of candidates consists of a radio talk show host with little to no management experience, a sheriff who talks tough about protecting the public but who’s displayed a complete disregard for the public’s right to know and Keller, the incumbent, who steered the city through the pandemic and has started some initiatives to fight crime and homelessness that have promise.”
“The Journal Editorial Board endorses Tim Keller for mayor as he is the most qualified candidate for the job. The Journal endorsement of Keller was predicted by city hall watchers and political analysts.
