#1 Couldn't fit 2 links in post, here is the 2nd one:
The Albuquerque Police Officers' Association – the union that represents the city's rank-and-file officers – filed a complaint against the city and police department Monday alleging the department failed to protect its own officers during ~~rioting~~ violent protests that took place following Donald Trump's rally in Albuquerque.
The complaint says because of this alleged lack of planning and failure to equip all officers with riot gear, several officers were unnecessarily injured.
At least six officers were injured during the violence that followed the rally – most of which was caused by rocks thrown by the rioters.
Many of the officers on the "front line" against the protesters were equipped with riot gear, but on several occasions, officers only in street uniforms were tasked with helping push back the rioters as they threw rocks at police on 3rd Street.
New Mexico State Police chief Pete Kassetas tells KOB his repeated offers to provide tactical units and extra traffic enforcement officers the night of the rally were declined by APD.
Kassetas said he put dozens of officers in the field anyway -- a decision that likely helped APD immensely.

#2 the actions of a few people -- those who threw rocks or punches -- shouldn’t discredit

but you (along with DoJ) have no problem broadbrushing all cops as Gestapo for the actions of a few, don't you.

Chicago, San Jose, ABQ, there's a pattern there. Your whole act was about confrontation and you play victim. Take it elsewhere sunshine.
