Albuquerque

Kyiv brawl: Ukraine’s top general fired uses Albuquerque as the main case in Daniel Knowles’s report on U.S. police killings. The city is presented as one of the country’s highest-rate police-killing places and as a test of whether formal reform can change police behavior.

The source centers Jose Armas’s May 26 death after his family called for help during a suicide threat and expected social workers rather than police. It also says Albuquerque police have shot and killed 116 people since 2013, placing the city inside Police Killing Rate Divergence, Mental Health Crisis Police Response, and Police Consent Decree Culture Gap.
