Plus he could have radioed in and had officers on scene in 5 min. You can’t see the homeless encampment he supposedly was stopping to move (which is bullshit because they are everywhere and he would not stop with his wife) and when he says thst he saw the gun pointed in his direction he was around the corner and unable to even see the so called shooters and he was hauling ass when he went through the light so he started increasing speed from way down the street. He ran a red light and didn’t even hit the breaks. What a shitty story. Chief would never stop when off duty either he would’ve and should’ve radioed for the closest available officer.

One word, Uvalde. Need more proof? Yet they hold themselves out as heroes. And, SCOTUS ruled they have no duty to protect us, but we still have to pay them and their misconduct.
"Running away from Gunfire" 😂 Sure Buddy. Typical bold faced lie from a Cop. I bet old Medina was the only one with that story too. Check if anyone else called 911 about gunfire at that time in that area and I bet they didn't. He had to cook up some ridiculous story to explain his irresponsible driving behavior.

@@mrsocal09 definitely. I can break down step-by-step step T least 4 flaws in his story. And when u see him walk up to the 1st officers on scene the shot he says is retarded. Dudes been crooked and is a dumbass I have no idea how he became chief. I live like 7 minutes from that spot. Central and Alvarado
For reasons like this I never blow through a green light without a quick look left and right whether I`m driving or a passenger. It`s saved the day more times than I care to think about.
That's odd, Chief speaks so poorly claimed the man's injuries were minor. Now why would someone in the position of Police Chief lie in front of a camera? Also, who works for someone like that? What sort of respectable workplace would hire someone that would lie with abandon like that? What kind of organization is America's sorriest Police Department?
The departments are ran by Satanists & Freemasons. That's why they have protected immunity. They're judges, Lawyers, politicians - all protecting each other.
They lie constantly because they get away with it. They can legally lie to people, per the courts. No one but a very young child would think cops will not expand the scope of their lying to include planting evidence, falsifying official reports, and perjury in court. And they do all of these, and not rarely. Never trust or respect a cop.
Betcha the chief has never had even a single cracked rib, let alone a collapsed lung (writes someone who has had 4 broken ribs and a collapsed lung). It's excruciatingly painful, it's terrifying on a primal level because you feel like you're drowning on dry land (only because that is exactly what is happening) and the pain goes on for months. Well, it was only months for me because I was a teenager when I had my accident (horse fell on me) and, looking back from 40+ years later, I can guarantee I didn't heal like a teenager when I was in my 30s, let alone any older than that!
I am asking for the chief's resignation. This isn't the 1st time Harold Medina has recklessly put others in danger to save himself; he killed a 14 year old boy who only had a BB gun. His attitude is "I'm going home safe tonight, no matter what!"
Yeah he was hauling ass at a red light and ran it. There’s absolutely no way he “turned around “ to stop a fight while off duty with his wife. He woulda radioed to his officers. You can tell by how fast he flies through the light that he was HAULING ASS down Alvarado. His old ass can’t see what 2 hobos are doing from down the street. Plus where’s the footage of him making this supposed u turn to reach this fight. What was he gonna do arrest them n leave his wife in the car. You can truly see and hear how stupid he is every time he talks into the mic. Funny how just now she says” investigated by internal affairs “ WHEN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS GUY JUST RESIGNED FOR BEING CROOKED N RAIDED BY THE FBI. Our person supposed to find crooked cops was a crooked cop lol. Fire Medinas ASS he is a lying bastard with absolutely no sympathy for this gentleman who he nearly killed. VOTE FOR CHIEF MEDINA RESIGNATION! IF ALL HOS OFFICERS CROOKED THEN HE IS THE ONE ALLOWING THEM TO BE!
I remember the incident well. The Chief examined the gun the kid had and determined that it was only a BB gun. Then he shot the kid dead. Is that the way you remember it too?
Not defending the crash, but how the hell do you know it's a BB gun if it's pointed at you? Are you supposed to wait until you get shot at? I spent 4 years in an infantry unit and have had guns all my life, I would make the same shot if something that looked like a gun was pointed at me because by the time you could figure out it's fake at a distance, they could kill me.
There should be a federal law that jurisdictions cannot investigate themselves. In any incident that causes major injuries, defined as any injury that requires 3 or more days in the hospital, or death, the investigation must be conducted by a jurisdiction headquartered at least 300 miles away.
If you are caught on video it's evidence but if a cop is caught on video it needs to be investigated internally. Abolish qualified immunity and the police unions and take the money out of the cops pockets and not the taxpayers

Definitely agreed. Iv put 2 n 2 together on this, the video and his explanation and he is definitely lying about going to stop for a fight. Plus he doesn’t give a shot about homeless people he would never pull over for a homeless encampment they are freaking everywhere. At the angle of where the 2 guys are standing and the length down central, he and his wife could NOT be in the line of fire or even be visible from where he was and he was going like 20miles an hour over the speed limit. He’s the freaking chief too he could radio any cop on the force to be there within 2 min . He lies in his explanations ALL THE TIME. You can tell it’s been rehearsed several times. That’s why he does the explaining on the news when the officers kill innocent people because the cops couldn’t get away with it. His stories always leave out hella details and parts. Like this story he doesn’t bring up the crash at all until the last sentence 😂😂😂 he pulls some shit out of his ass after the review possible charges then analyze what to say to beat those charges. Crooked as hell. He says “ our internal investigations is looking into it….” And 100% the internal investigations in our force just got raided by the fbi and found to be taking payoffs for over 100 DWI cases so he won’t show up to court. So our guy who finds crooked people is crooked? 😂😂😂😂

Idk how the guy even got to that high of a position because he definitely sounds uneducated as fu** . Every time he goes on the news to “address” APD SCREWUPS he never actually addresses the incident he just gives an empty promise like “we are looking into it with our internal investigations” when the lead internal investigation officer was just raided by the fbi and resigned before he caught charges.

Why make the public pay for “the Chief’s “ mistake? Make the chief work the cage (front desk of evidence room) for the next 10 years with 100% of his salary going to the victim. Better than him getting bf’d in jail, at our expense.
@@terebrate After the truck's insurance fights him through court, all they'll do is give him value of the car(maybe $20K) and make him go through a BI settlement. So the city fooked him good. He'll never fully recover so all he'll get is policy cap.
This cop needs to be in JAIL !! "Running away" my ass !! He cut off another car when he ran the red light !! I bet he will use "Immunity from the law" as his excuse !
Any regular citizen would not have been allowed that excuse. They would have never even entertained it as a possibility. This is like when drunks crash their car and then come back to the scene claiming it was stolen.

Yes, if there is something in the intersection, a green light doesn't give you carte blanche to just ram into it but in this case the guy with the green wasn't approaching a blocked intersection. It's absolutely not his fault some jackass blew the red light.
The Chief should be fired immediately. This couple should get a good attorney and sue the Chief and the department. Why was he not tested for drugs or alcohol? Anyone else would have been tested and arrested. Why not the Chief?
I don't think he was stopped. I drive a Ford truck and I am fairly certain to cut between the cars and push the mustang so far, the Medina was going around 40 mph. No way did he take off from a dead stop and do that. Also consider, a 1966 mustang is all steel and comparable in weight to a modern compact car, and that truck crushed it up like a toy. He's lucky to be alive.

Yeah he is not in the line of fire at all in any way shape or form, he’s going twice the speed limit, he is chief and could radio any coo to be there immediately why the hell would he stop with his wife when there are homeless people everywhere. How fast he was going down the street shows he didn’t have time to clearly process the amount of bullshit he says he saw and did. It was his day off he was probably drunk I’d say. He always leaves out the in between s in his story’s. They sound rehearsed as fu** and he does it all the time for officers who kill innocent people . Just like him he killed a 14 year old kid. Funny how hos story has absolutely nothing to do with the crash 😂😂 saying he witnessed 2min worth of shit in a 5sec timespan. And if he was looking at them he didn’t have his eyes on the damn road lol so no matter wat he is at fault
What a crock, the guy is milking it for all its worth, it was a small accident the door did not protrude into the cab of the car, he is making a molehill out of a mountain.
A 7 hour surgery and constant pain. They want accountability, not even a resignation, I don't know they sound completely reasonable, Tim Keller should probably apologize if he know's what's good, I wouldn't hold it against him if he realized after the fact he shouldn't have defended the chief
@@ivotedforbeanis8819 It's a fine line he has to straddle there. On the one hand, he's got to protect the city from liability at all costs. At the same time, he has a responsibility to the citizens to manage failures like this Chiefy guy and America's sorriest Police Department. At the same time, if he says nary an unkind word about the troops, they'll stomp their feet and act like solid brats that didn't get their way. He can't win for losing. Personally, I'd have to just man up and sack Chiefy dude.
Seems like Qualified Immunity wouldn't have the slightest thing to do with this. He was just a guy driving around with his wife in a part of town where folks commonly go to score illicit drugs, then he got scared and caused grievous bodily harm to another. He should be cited, arrested, booked, and charged. He wasn't at work. He shouldn't have qualified immunity. He should be treated like anyone else who blasts through a red light with reckless disregard for the safety of others. If his story is true, he's a coward and a criminal. If his story isn't true, then he's just plain criminal. He should be fired, censured, decertified, arrested, and jailed. And I have to feel utterly devastated at the injuries to the Mustang.
Why would the supposed fleeing from gunfire chief not turn right with the flow of traffic instead of trying to cross multiple lanes of oncoming traffic. This would have limited his vehicle to only the first right lane of cars hitting him instead of try to cross 4 lanes of traffic .This does not pass the smell test and he should have been given drug and alcohol blood testing exactly like they would have done had this other man been at fault with this unbeleivable story ! However the Thin Blue Line will take care of their fellow chief and probably try to transfer the fault to the innocent driver or reduce his liability . It is a miracle that he used the line of fleeing gunfire as opposed to trying to apprehend fleeing gun totting criminals for police immunity as they are supposedly always on the job !
I got t-boned by a cop who ran a stop sign in his police car over 36 yrs ago. He was leaving a restaurant after his lunch break, but the city tried to say he was responding to an emergency.....they lied. I wasn't injured, but my car cost nearly $2k to fix and it took me over 3 months to get reimbursed. So if a city/county employee hit you, lawyer up and don't let them get one over on you.
An " ongoing internal affairs investigation into the crash" means NOTHING will be done except sweep this under the rug like all other police involved incidents.
You forgot to mention the human that now has to deal with life long injuries and the mental anguish and depression that comes with the instant change in one's body's ability to function, the same as it always has in the past. Only those that have experienced something like this can begin to understand the trauma and anguish of it all.
I believe that nobody is above the law including the ALBUQUERQUE POLICE CHIEF! I also think an outside source should investigate this accident! An outside agency such as the Texas department of public safety or The Colorado Hiway Patrol & at the very Least the New Mexico State Police. If they want to keep the investigation in state, I have a nephew with the Eddy County Sheriff department that doesn't know Chief Medina or have ties to the Albuquerque P.D. I think once an outside agency does the investigation & comes to a conclusion, that Chief Medina should be held to whatever disciplinary actions recommend by the outside agency!

If that was not a police (or the police chief for that matter) the driver would've been charged but since it was the police chief he was even praised for what he has done without any concern for the person he hit. It's like, they (police) are more important than the people they serve. The person in the golden Mustang is just like collateral damage to them.

No. It should remind you of the Chief that was the site commander that held his officers back. I watched a breakdown on that and the Chief was 100% at fault for his lousy decisions and repeatedly ordering his officers to not go in.
@@CuriousMess61 Oh, thanks for the info. You should send it to the DOJ to update their report. It would probably be beneficial for the grand jury that was convened too as they’re determining if any of the, roughly, 400 officers on scene should be held accountable. 👍🏻
Police chief should be charged with reckless driving. He ran a red light at a high rate speed severely injuring another driver. No excuses for this.
Any regular peon citizen would have been charged. Some are above the laws they are sworn to enforce.
Plus he could have radioed in and had officers on scene in 5 min. You can’t see the homeless encampment he supposedly was stopping to move (which is bullshit because they are everywhere and he would not stop with his wife) and when he says thst he saw the gun pointed in his direction he was around the corner and unable to even see the so called shooters and he was hauling ass when he went through the light so he started increasing speed from way down the street. He ran a red light and didn’t even hit the breaks. What a shitty story. Chief would never stop when off duty either he would’ve and should’ve radioed for the closest available officer.

Because he was drunk
@@mrsocal09 definitely. I can break down step-by-step step T least 4 flaws in his story. And when u see him walk up to the 1st officers on scene the shot he says is retarded. Dudes been crooked and is a dumbass I have no idea how he became chief. I live like 7 minutes from that spot. Central and Alvarado
It was an acorn!!
Did YOU CHECK?
.....or go you just blurt out whatever feels good?
For reasons like this I never blow through a green light without a quick look left and right whether I`m driving or a passenger. It`s saved the day more times than I care to think about.
Same 2 years ago now had a truck run a red during icy conditions. going 50+ in a 35.
That's odd, Chief speaks so poorly claimed the man's injuries were minor. Now why would someone in the position of Police Chief lie in front of a camera? Also, who works for someone like that? What sort of respectable workplace would hire someone that would lie with abandon like that? What kind of organization is America's sorriest Police Department?
The departments are ran by Satanists & Freemasons.
That's why they have protected immunity.
They're judges, Lawyers, politicians - all protecting each other.
They lie constantly because they get away with it. They can legally lie to people, per the courts. No one but a very young child would think cops will not expand the scope of their lying to include planting evidence, falsifying official reports, and perjury in court. And they do all of these, and not rarely.
Never trust or respect a cop.
hes a trained liar. part of his goon training involves the "art of permissive deception" . besides, hes one of the self annointed
Betcha the chief has never had even a single cracked rib, let alone a collapsed lung (writes someone who has had 4 broken ribs and a collapsed lung). It's excruciatingly painful, it's terrifying on a primal level because you feel like you're drowning on dry land (only because that is exactly what is happening) and the pain goes on for months. Well, it was only months for me because I was a teenager when I had my accident (horse fell on me) and, looking back from 40+ years later, I can guarantee I didn't heal like a teenager when I was in my 30s, let alone any older than that!
> Now why would someone in the position of Police Chief lie in front of a camera?
Job requirement.
We've investigated ourselves, and of course find no wrong doing.
I am asking for the chief's resignation. This isn't the 1st time Harold Medina has recklessly put others in danger to save himself; he killed a 14 year old boy who only had a BB gun. His attitude is "I'm going home safe tonight, no matter what!"
Yeah he was hauling ass at a red light and ran it. There’s absolutely no way he “turned around “ to stop a fight while off duty with his wife. He woulda radioed to his officers. You can tell by how fast he flies through the light that he was HAULING ASS down Alvarado. His old ass can’t see what 2 hobos are doing from down the street. Plus where’s the footage of him making this supposed u turn to reach this fight. What was he gonna do arrest them n leave his wife in the car. You can truly see and hear how stupid he is every time he talks into the mic. Funny how just now she says” investigated by internal affairs “ WHEN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS GUY JUST RESIGNED FOR BEING CROOKED N RAIDED BY THE FBI. Our person supposed to find crooked cops was a crooked cop lol. Fire Medinas ASS he is a lying bastard with absolutely no sympathy for this gentleman who he nearly killed. VOTE FOR CHIEF MEDINA RESIGNATION! IF ALL HOS OFFICERS CROOKED THEN HE IS THE ONE ALLOWING THEM TO BE!
Yes he lies constantly
I remember the incident well. The Chief examined the gun the kid had and determined that it was only a BB gun. Then he shot the kid dead. Is that the way you remember it too?
Not defending the crash, but how the hell do you know it's a BB gun if it's pointed at you? Are you supposed to wait until you get shot at? I spent 4 years in an infantry unit and have had guns all my life, I would make the same shot if something that looked like a gun was pointed at me because by the time you could figure out it's fake at a distance, they could kill me.
@@GTAC13 separate events. A while back he killed the kid.
Just because he “claims” he was running away, doesn’t mean he gives up all due diligence.
They will investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing, as usual
There should be a federal law that jurisdictions cannot investigate themselves. In any incident that causes major injuries, defined as any injury that requires 3 or more days in the hospital, or death, the investigation must be conducted by a jurisdiction headquartered at least 300 miles away.
Victims wife said “police chief gave him a good job”
If you are caught on video it's evidence but if a cop is caught on video it needs to be investigated internally. Abolish qualified immunity and the police unions and take the money out of the cops pockets and not the taxpayers
"To protect & serve"...yourself only.
They took that off of the police cars 😂 🤦♂️
That guy Medina seems like a Creepo. Everytime he's talking he seems very selfish and self absorbed. Hope he gets sued big time.
Hate the guy. Such an obvious crook who is missing a few brain cells

Definitely agreed. Iv put 2 n 2 together on this, the video and his explanation and he is definitely lying about going to stop for a fight. Plus he doesn’t give a shot about homeless people he would never pull over for a homeless encampment they are freaking everywhere. At the angle of where the 2 guys are standing and the length down central, he and his wife could NOT be in the line of fire or even be visible from where he was and he was going like 20miles an hour over the speed limit. He’s the freaking chief too he could radio any cop on the force to be there within 2 min . He lies in his explanations ALL THE TIME. You can tell it’s been rehearsed several times. That’s why he does the explaining on the news when the officers kill innocent people because the cops couldn’t get away with it. His stories always leave out hella details and parts. Like this story he doesn’t bring up the crash at all until the last sentence 😂😂😂 he pulls some shit out of his ass after the review possible charges then analyze what to say to beat those charges. Crooked as hell. He says “ our internal investigations is looking into it….” And 100% the internal investigations in our force just got raided by the fbi and found to be taking payoffs for over 100 DWI cases so he won’t show up to court. So our guy who finds crooked people is crooked? 😂😂😂😂
@@AB-nj4ex Yeah, you nailed it on all the points. The guy is a fraud 🤥
@@AB-nj4exthis is every police force in every town and city across the country.
Theyre all just gang bangers with government approval. Modern privateering.
Not only are his physical injuries devastating, but losing that beautiful Mustang is a huge bummer on top of it all. I sure felt his wife's statement. 😢
Albuquerque police coward not chief.
Coward in chief in charge? Sounds like a great title.
Idk how the guy even got to that high of a position because he definitely sounds uneducated as fu** . Every time he goes on the news to “address” APD SCREWUPS he never actually addresses the incident he just gives an empty promise like “we are looking into it with our internal investigations” when the lead internal investigation officer was just raided by the fbi and resigned before he caught charges. For taking pay offs to not show up to court. So the guy who’s supposed to find the crooked cops was crooked? Lol
You really believe the gunfire story? I'll be a blood alcohol test wasn't given to the Chief of Police by any responding cops.
They all are.
He was off duty and probably didn’t have any safety equipment on
THAT CAR WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
I said he was drinking and driving.

Likely
He was buying drugs and took off without paying
@@rickmatz4456 👍
This man deserves justice
APD needs to pay the medical bills and all future therapy this man will need. What an embarrassment!
and repair his mustang.
Why make the public pay for “the Chief’s “ mistake? Make the chief work the cage (front desk of evidence room) for the next 10 years with 100% of his salary going to the victim. Better than him getting bf’d in jail, at our expense.
@@terebrate The mustang is scrap now.
@@screamingcockatoo You're probably right. Looks pretty messed up to me.
@@terebrate After the truck's insurance fights him through court, all they'll do is give him value of the car(maybe $20K) and make him go through a BI settlement. So the city fooked him good. He'll never fully recover so all he'll get is policy cap.
This cop needs to be in JAIL !! "Running away" my ass !! He cut off another car when he ran the red light !! I bet he will use "Immunity from the law" as his excuse !
Any regular citizen would not have been allowed that excuse. They would have never even entertained it as a possibility.
This is like when drunks crash their car and then come back to the scene claiming it was stolen.
He was reported to be off duty so immunity may not apply.
@@loudharley6926 its already happening. LoL
The only reason he isnt in jail for false statements, wreckless driving, and nearly killing somebody is because he wears a badge. Anybody else would already be rotting in a cell just for lying about why they were driving the way he was.
Sheffield lawsuit against the police department and file a lawsuit against the mayor for praising a crooked cop and he needs to be arrested both mayor and the police chief
I'd sue for EVERYTHING
And get nothing out of a freak accident
Cop was being reckless , period . He is at fault 100% .
It must be difficult for Chief Medina to balance Governor Grisham’s turd on his nose and drive at the same time .
😂😂😂😂👍
Don't forget the shit head mayor.....
Lol wtf
Haha.😂🤣
😂😂😂
That cop needs to be jailed for life
Civil Lawsuit, video proves he had GREEN LIGHT
Green light means proceed when the intersection is clear and conditions permit.
@@bigpicturethinking5620 Are you high? That is not at all what it means. Yes, if there is something in the intersection, a green light doesn't give you carte blanche to just ram into it but in this case the guy with the green wasn't approaching a blocked intersection. It's absolutely not his fault some jackass blew the red light.
The Chief should be fired immediately. This couple should get a good attorney and sue the Chief and the department. Why was he not tested for drugs or alcohol? Anyone else would have been tested and arrested. Why not the Chief?
Running away doesn't justify running a red light
If I was being shot at I would run every red light. You might want to rethink your point. I think the chief is lying and the mayor is insane
@@johnguess5675you sound like the kid in his mom's dining room without a license.
SERIOUSLY? If you are trying to escape possible harm to you or your wife, are YOU going to sit waiting at a stop light?
I'd run lights if I was shot at too. I don't know if the chief is telling the truth about that though.
He's lucky he did not get charged with assaulting an officer
“HE WAS RUNNING AWAY” THATS WHAT COWARD DO !!!
blue cowards all of them
Don't fall for his lies. He would rather have people think he is coward than the real thing of felony driving while impaired.
Uvalde showed us how worthless cops are
I don't think he was stopped.
I drive a Ford truck and I am fairly certain to cut between the cars and push the mustang so far, the Medina was going around 40 mph. No way did he take off from a dead stop and do that. Also consider, a 1966 mustang is all steel and comparable in weight to a modern compact car, and that truck crushed it up like a toy. He's lucky to be alive.
What would happen to a civilian that did what the Chief did? Period !
Officer safety before ALL OTHERS. 😂😂😂 This proves that.
Sue the chief DIRECTLY.
He was NOT acting as an officer if he is in his personal vehicle, civilian clothes, and has his wife in the truck.
Mayor Killer Keller always covers things up. I had to deal with his administration personally as well. Incredibly dishonest actions.

God bless Harold Medina and you know what I don't blame you Todd get as much money out of that lawsuit as you can
What a coward chief resign in disgrace!
That’s a multi million dollar lawsuit
Not a mustang fan but the officer should be held accountable for serious property damage to a classic.
It can be repaired, and the policeman's insurance needs to pay for it to be done correctly. But not a fan of the first gen Mustang?
@@Spiritof_76The cop was told to destroy the mustang to force the owner to buy an ev.
It was done on purpose so the owner would have to buy an ev
Why does it matter what kind of vehicle it was..?..that's ridiculous...
People are so stupid, i wonder if they would try to be so « funny » if it happened to them
That is criminal reckless driving, he needs to be charged and incarcerated no excuses.
There should be serious charges for ruining that beautiful Ford Mustang 🐎 my god that is a sad sight to see.
I wouldn't be suing the city. Seems the chief was off duty. I'd want to press criminal charges. Don't care if he was "running away." Still not allowed to endanger other people.
This is why we moved away from NM. The corruption is far too deep in the state
"The police chief was running away!" And he is still trying to do just that.
Chief is most definitely at fault.

Sue them into next Tuesday!!!
He needs 2 b held accountable.

Am I understanding correctly, they're going after the city for something that the chief did while he was off duty? He should have car Insurance to deal with this situation. The tax payers have nothing to do with it.
is there any evidence that the 'gunfire' that the chief was running away from actually happened?
It was a lie to cover up the fact that it was on purpose.
It's a realistic reaction if so, but looking at the video those dudes don't look close to pulling.
Medina went back to the alleged shooting scene, which was a no-no and then picked up or pointed to a single shell casing which no-one else had apparently spotted. How very convenient, huh? He should not have even been there. He contaminated the alleged crime scene.
Sure, the wife of the pc, lol
Why not turn right? Get a safe distance and call the authorities?
Instead blast through a red light and thus four lines of traffic?
Yes God please help this family get justice
Gurantee there was no gun fire always an excuse when it comes to police
Not only should have the Police chief been fired but he should be prosecuted.
The Chiefs homies investigated him and determined no wrong doing.

Yeah he is not in the line of fire at all in any way shape or form, he’s going twice the speed limit, he is chief and could radio any coo to be there immediately why the hell would he stop with his wife when there are homeless people everywhere. How fast he was going down the street shows he didn’t have time to clearly process the amount of bullshit he says he saw and did. It was his day off he was probably drunk I’d say. He always leaves out the in between s in his story’s. They sound rehearsed as fu** and he does it all the time for officers who kill innocent people . Just like him he killed a 14 year old kid. Funny how hos story has absolutely nothing to do with the crash 😂😂 saying he witnessed 2min worth of shit in a 5sec timespan. And if he was looking at them he didn’t have his eyes on the damn road lol so no matter wat he is at fault
Cops: "We investigated ourselves and found we are gods"
Prayers for your recovery and justice.
" in recent news, the gun fire heard by the law man, was actually a squirrel dropping 3 nuts nearby, "
"Fleeing gunfire" 😂😂
Thankfully, most of the cops on the job are actually dedicated to catching criminals, not taking lessons from them.
What a crock, the guy is milking it for all its worth, it was a small accident the door did not protrude into the cab of the car, he is making a molehill out of a mountain.
A 7 hour surgery and constant pain. They want accountability, not even a resignation, I don't know they sound completely reasonable, Tim Keller should probably apologize if he know's what's good, I wouldn't hold it against him if he realized after the fact he shouldn't have defended the chief
Everyone makes mistakes, obviously Tim Keller was too fast to pick sides in the matter cause I remember it was like the same day
@@ivotedforbeanis8819 It's a fine line he has to straddle there. On the one hand, he's got to protect the city from liability at all costs. At the same time, he has a responsibility to the citizens to manage failures like this Chiefy guy and America's sorriest Police Department. At the same time, if he says nary an unkind word about the troops, they'll stomp their feet and act like solid brats that didn't get their way. He can't win for losing. Personally, I'd have to just man up and sack Chiefy dude.
Tim keller had lied to public through the news and gotten the city sued before. He has no concerns for Albuquerque. Time we wake up to that.
Just because you were under fire, doesn’t mean you get out of injuring someone or damaging their property.
No, no corruption here. END qualified immunity
Seems like Qualified Immunity wouldn't have the slightest thing to do with this. He was just a guy driving around with his wife in a part of town where folks commonly go to score illicit drugs, then he got scared and caused grievous bodily harm to another. He should be cited, arrested, booked, and charged. He wasn't at work. He shouldn't have qualified immunity. He should be treated like anyone else who blasts through a red light with reckless disregard for the safety of others. If his story is true, he's a coward and a criminal. If his story isn't true, then he's just plain criminal.
He should be fired, censured, decertified, arrested, and jailed.
And I have to feel utterly devastated at the injuries to the Mustang.
The cover up started 1 second after the crash....that thin blue line protects it's own no matter what....
Shouldn't he be in jail for reckless driving
Reckless endangerment and many more crimes, too! Breach of public trust is a felony that would work as well.
BADGES DON'T GRANT EXTRA RIGHTS
And that's probably the last you'll hear of this story
Why would the supposed fleeing from gunfire chief not turn right with the flow of traffic instead of trying to cross multiple lanes of oncoming traffic. This would have limited his vehicle to only the first right lane of cars hitting him instead of try to cross 4 lanes of traffic .This does not pass the smell test and he should have been given drug and alcohol blood testing exactly like they would have done had this other man been at fault with this unbeleivable story ! However the Thin Blue Line will take care of their fellow chief and probably try to transfer the fault to the innocent driver or reduce his liability . It is a miracle that he used the line of fleeing gunfire as opposed to trying to apprehend fleeing gun totting criminals for police immunity as they are supposedly always on the job !
I got t-boned by a cop who ran a stop sign in his police car over 36 yrs ago. He was leaving a restaurant after his lunch break, but the city tried to say he was responding to an emergency.....they lied. I wasn't injured, but my car cost nearly $2k to fix and it took me over 3 months to get reimbursed. So if a city/county employee hit you, lawyer up and don't let them get one over on you.
I feel bad, they ruined a perfect truck.
Turns out cops are cowards.
No. Stop generalizing.
An " ongoing internal affairs investigation into the crash" means NOTHING will be done except sweep this under the rug like all other police involved incidents.
Chief should have to reverse everywhere he goes from now on, if he’s allowed to keep his license.
Whoever damaged that beautiful car needs to go to jail for the rest of their life
You forgot to mention the human that now has to deal with life long injuries and the mental anguish and depression that comes with the instant change in one's body's ability to function, the same as it always has in the past. Only those that have experienced something like this can begin to understand the trauma and anguish of it all.
I believe that nobody is above the law including the ALBUQUERQUE POLICE CHIEF! I also think an outside source should investigate this accident! An outside agency such as the Texas department of public safety or The Colorado Hiway Patrol & at the very Least the New Mexico State Police. If they want to keep the investigation in state, I have a nephew with the Eddy County Sheriff department that doesn't know Chief Medina or have ties to the Albuquerque P.D. I think once an outside agency does the investigation & comes to a conclusion, that Chief Medina should be held to whatever disciplinary actions recommend by the outside agency!

If that was not a police (or the police chief for that matter) the driver would've been charged but since it was the police chief he was even praised for what he has done without any concern for the person he hit. It's like, they (police) are more important than the people they serve. The person in the golden Mustang is just like collateral damage to them.
Reminds me of a Uvalde police officer. Good luck, Albuquerque!
Hispanic cops are all like this. Theyll drive drunk and crash and blame you for driving drunk. They are so use to being a power monger cop in their home nations thst when they come here all they can do is turn our nation into a corrupt marxist state like their family had to flee from..
Explains why Albuquerque is now one of the most dangerous cities in the US.
No. It should remind you of the Chief that was the site commander that held his officers back. I watched a breakdown on that and the Chief was 100% at fault for his lousy decisions and repeatedly ordering his officers to not go in.
@@CuriousMess61 Oh, thanks for the info. You should send it to the DOJ to update their report. It would probably be beneficial for the grand jury that was convened too as they’re determining if any of the, roughly, 400 officers on scene should be held accountable. 👍🏻
