Detective multiple issues, suit, Victim Torres/ (04/12/2011) Articles New Yorker (2015/02/02) Excerpt from The New Yorker (02/02/2015: Brown had already been rejected by the Albuquerque Police Department, in 1995, because he had bad credit, which was seen as a sign of recklessness. He ended up in the Roswell Police Department, three hours south of Albuquerque. While he was there, a city councilor brought a civil-rights lawsuit against him—she alleged that he had arrested her for exercising her right to free speech—and five citizens filed complaints. He was accused of injuring a man by throwing him to the ground; of humiliating a mother when arresting her for speeding; and of pointing his gun at someone who got out of his car too slowly. Later, he estimated that he had drawn his gun during a traffic stop on at least ten occasions. In 2005, he applied to work for the police department in Rio Rancho, just north of Albuquerque, but he was rejected for having a bad attitude. Since the last time he applied to the Albuquerque Police Department, Brown had been in two car accidents and filed for bankruptcy—events that the department typically considered indications of instability—but his second application was accepted, and he was given a signing bonus of five thousand dollars. He didn’t take a psychological exam. His training lasted six weeks…[after a struggle with Christopher…) Brown unholstered his pistol, a nine-millimetre handgun that he’d owned since he was sixteen. He pressed the muzzle against Christopher’s back and pulled the trigger. He didn’t hear any noise, and wondered if the gun had malfunctioned. He squeezed the trigger again. This time Christopher said, “Ow.” Christopher was still trying to get up, so Brown shot him in the back a third time.

Brown and Richard Hilger shot Torres in the back at close range while serving an arrest warrant on a felony charge of aggravated auto burglary for trying to carjack a woman at a traffic light. During the confrontation with police, Torres tried to punch Hilger and grabbed his gun as they scuffled in the suspect's backyard, police said. But Bacon said the officers did not present the arrest warrant when they confronted Torres in his yard. http :// america. aljazeera .com/articles/2014/6/11/albuquerque-policeschizophrenic.html Brown Eric, Albuquerque.

Ryan Buckner of the Criminal Intelligence Unit, the department’s covert operations wing, cited “recent credible and multi-source information” of an “Aryan Brotherhood plot to kill an Albuquerque police officer.” APD Cmdr. Doug West of the Special Investigations Division downplayed the significance of the warning in Buckner’s bulletin, saying officers receive similar information on a regular basis. He said the department was never able to establish 100 percent whether it existed.Sgt. Dan Porter of the Special Investigations Division said police never determined whether Ellis or Aaron Renfro — the other man shot fatally by an APD officer in January 2010 whom Buckner referenced in his bulletin — were members of the Aryan Brotherhood. In another email obtained by the Journal, Buckner informed West nearly a year after the initial tip that his intelligence unit had used physical and electronic surveillance, controlled drug buys, undercover operations and other tactics to disrupt the alleged threat. https://www.abqjournal.com/113301/did-aryans-target-apd.html There might be information relating to this officer also here: https://www.abqjournal.com/community-data/apd-under-fire-incident-summaries Burns, Larry Jal, JPD/Chief, Off-duty photos taken by subordinate police officer Joshua Terrell of him having sex in ambulance, Officer Burns experienced an invasion of privacy from Terrell’s photography.,The Blaze-2014/06/01; Opposing Views dot com; 2014/05/16; updated 2018/03/02; KRQE-2014/05/15 Articles The Blaze 2014/06/01 This police chief was caught on camera doing something obscene but one of his officers got fired for it http://www.theblaze.com/news/2014/06/01/this-police-chief-was-caught-on-camera-doing- something-obscene-but-one-of-his-officers-got-fired-over-it KRQE 2014/05/15 Police chief caught on camera http://krqe.com/2014/05/15/police-chief-caught-on-camera/ Daily Mail 2014/06 Cop is fired for secretly filming his police chief for having sex in ambulance, in uniform.

They turned him down both times. The only hope of Burns seeing any real punishment for his actions is if the state Law Enforcement Academy Board reviews his case. If they find his actions inappropriate enough, Burns could lose his police license. Former New Mexico State Police Chief Robert Shilling thinks there is plenty of evidence to take action against Burns. “It certainly falls in the preview of misconduct in a multitude of ways,” he said. “I can only imagine, defrauding the taxpayers of being on duty or conducting yourself on duty when you’re saying you’re doing something else. I think would fall under the purview of the Law Enforcement Academy Board.” https://www.opposingviews.com/category/new-mexico-police-chief-caught-having-sex-ambulance Burt, Darryl D Albuquerque, BCSO-Bernalillo County Sheriffs Office/Sheriff-Deputy,See also Sheriff Ray Gallagher/cover-ups/indictment, etc. (1990s) Sex-minor-same sex- indict/prison-1995.-Multiple issues as deputy and after no longer associated with police department, NA w/cocaine/heroine/other issues.

At the time of the raid at Burt’s house, Burt and a 17-yr-old male took off through the bedroom window, both wearing only boxer shorts. A loaded 45-caliber handgun, a Fix-A-Flat can filled with cocaine, and a BCSO badge and credentials were among the items found in Burt’s garage.

Darryl Burt was found innocent Wednesday of kidnap, criminal sexual penetration, criminal sexual contact and of assault with intent to commit a violent felony. On Tuesday, Burt’s former boss, Sheriff Ray Gallagher, was indicted on two counts of tampering with evidence in Burt’s case, three counts of bribing or threatening a witness and a single count of aiding a felon. Gallagher denied the allegations. It was Burt’s second trial; the first ended in a jury deadlock. Gallagher had invoked Fifth Amendment guarantees against self-incrimination and refused to testify in Burt’s retrial. However, his testimony from Burt’s first trial was read into the record. In that testimony, Gallagher admitted throwing away two potential pieces of evidence: a tissue reportedly wrapped around the alleged victim’s car keys and a letter that reportedly referred to a potential witness. The alleged victim, a Mexican national, also didn’t appear at the retrial. Assistant District Attorney Paul Spiers had said the man, who was in Mexico, was afraid, ″and he has been frustrated with the on-again, off-again nature of the trial.″ Prosecutors had contended that Burt pulled over the alleged victim on the pretext of a traffic stop, searched his car, walked him to the patrol car, fondled and performed a sex act on him, and then pulled a gun. Burt said he only searched the man, because he suspected the man was concealing drugs. https://www.apnews.com/c5fe136da495516d72047a104692cc13 AP News-1992/11/26 Accessed from internet 2019/05/07 Albuquerque Journal 2003/12/19. Former Deputy Back in Prison By Scott Sandlin https://www.abqjournal.com/news/metro/124522metro12-19-03.htm Excerpt: Darryl Burt appeared again in court this week on new drug charges. It was the third time the former Bernalillo County sheriff's deputy has faced criminal prosecution. Burt's fall from grace began in April 1995 with his indictment on 34 counts related to alleged sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy. He eventually pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts, attempting to contribute to the delinquency of a minor and attempted sexual contact with a minor, but prosecutors said at the time that he had abused his position as an officer to prey on young Mexican nationals. The next year he was back in court facing federal cocaine distribution charges. He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute and was sentenced to two years and nine months in the drug case. Burt completed his prison time and supervised release and was working when he was indicted in August on a charge of conspiracy to distribute heroin. He pleaded guilty to all three counts Tuesday. Terms of the plea agreement call for Burt, 40, to spend eight years in federal prison. The indictment alleged Burt conspired with Martin Rivas Munguia to distribute more than 100 grams of heroin in Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties from Sept. 29 to Dec. 6, 2002. Munguia, who also has entered a guilty plea, is set for sentencing in February, but he will be subject to deportation because he was not legally in the United States, according to the prosecution. https://www.abqjournal.com/news/metro/124522metro12-19-03.htm B---? 2019/05/08 Gallup, officer, arrest, illegal strip, retaliation, suit/settle $50K-rumored amount/confidential.
