ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A homeless camper killed by Albuquerque police — in a
shooting that sparked a violent protest and a federal investigation — was
shot in the back, had multiple emergency surgeries and then had his arm
amputated before he died, an autopsy report released Thursday said.

James Boyd, 38, underwent multiple surgical procedures to control bleeding
but died from three gunshot wounds, including one in the lower-left back,
a day after the March 16 shooting, according to the New Mexico Office of
the Medical Investigator report.

The report lists homicide as the manner of death.

Boyd, who suffered from schizophrenia and was reportedly camping illegally
in the Sandia Mountain foothills, was shot by officers after a long
standoff. A helmet-camera video of the shooting showed Boyd gathering his
belongings before officers opened fire.

The footage sparked widespread calls for Albuquerque police reform and
later a violent protest in the city that forced riot police to use tear
gas to control demonstrators.

The FBI then said it would launch its own investigation into the shooting.
The U.S. Justice Department followed with a scathing review of Albuquerque
police's overall use of force and its practices on handling suspects
suffering from mental illness.

Critics of the police said the Boyd shooting, and the more than three
dozen since 2010, later pushed angry protesters to crowd a city council
meeting earlier this month and forced councilors to flee before
demonstrators took over city council chambers.

The autopsy report said one gunshot wound entered Boyd's lower left back,
which zipped through the lower abdomen and exited the left armpit before
re-entering the upper left arm.

Another gunshot wound to his upper right arm required surgical amputation
of the arm. A third gunshot wound was identified in the upper left arm,
the report said.

Boyd died at the University of New Mexico Hospital.

Last week, Albuquerque police shot a third person since the Justice
Department released its harsh review in April. It was agency's 40th police
shooting since 2010.

The city of Albuquerque has entered negotiations with the Justice
Department over reforms, but it could take months for the two sides to
outline an agreement.

Barack Obama, reelected by the dumbest voters in the history of the United
States of America.

Eric Holder, racist black murdering United States Attorney General, still
has his job.

Nancy Pelosi, Democrat criminal, accessory before and after the fact to
improper vetting of Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama, a confirmed
felon using SSAN 042-68-4425, belonging to a dead man.

Obama ignored the brutal killing of an American diplomat in Benghazi, then
relieved American military officers who attempted to prevent said murder
in order to cover up his own ineptitude.

Obama continues his goal of disarming America while ObamaCare increases
insurance premiums 300% and leaves millions without health care.

Obama backed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt prior to their removal for
failing to represent the people and constitutional violations.

Well I certainly hope these trigger-happy police receive the maximum
penalty the law allows...Namely desk duty for a couple of months...
