Albuquerque Journal photographer feared New Mexico State Police were going to shoot him

KOB talks with an Albuquerque Journal photographer who feared New Mexico State Police were going to shoot him after he was mistaken for a gunman this week. State police said their officers did everything by the book when they pointed a gun and handcuffed the man, but he sees things much differently. "I knew that the best thing I could do was to stay relaxed and follow the instructions and any sudden move I could have been dead," said Adolphe Pierre-Louis. When photographer Adolphe Pierre-Louis woke up Wednesday morning he expected a normal day but it didn't turn out that way. "I got a call from my editor about 11 o'clock in the morning telling me that we're doing a story about the drought and its effect on cattle in New Mexico," said Pierre-Louis. While heading east on Interstate 40, outside of Albuquerque Pierre-Louis was doing 72 miles per hour he realized he was being pulled over. Pierre-Louis said when he pulled his SUV to the side and looked behind him, "The officer was crouched behind the driver side door with his gun pointed at me." Pierre-Louis got out of the SUV with his hands up and got on his knees as instructed by the officer. Then he was handcuffed and he stayed that way by the side of the highway for about half an hour. Pierre-Louis said he was frightened. "One false move and you can end up dead, especially in light of everything happening here in Albuquerque where you have 19 police shootings in a year and a half," said Pierre-Louis. http://www.kob.com/article/stories/S2248236.shtml?cat=500

Police are   becoming the criminals that hired them, they are paid through our taxes and are there for suppose to work and help the people. It appears they are becoming Nasty and like doing things to hurt others. Makes me wonder how they treat their own family - divorce rates are high in that field of work, No wonder!
