My prayers are with last night’s plane crash victims and their families.

Safety is this administration’s top priority, and that means hiring the best people in air traffic control to ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again.

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

DEVELOPING! Las Vegas: This morning, around 8:30 a.m., LVMPD responded to a business in the 3100 block of East Sunset Road after a large group of upset people gathered. Victims reported that they had applied for a job opportunity as third-party Amazon delivery drivers, advertised online on January 21.

Applicants were asked to fill out an application and pay a $200 fee in cash, credit cards, or checks. They were told to return for an interview at a later date. Today, when several applicants returned, they discovered the business had been completely vacated by the people responsible. It turns out the job posting was a scam.

As word spread on social media, more victims arrived at the location. At this time, the number of victims is unknown, and our Financial Crimes section is actively investigating.

New Article on an unjust & absurd prosecution.

“that’s where the heartache is. The State is teaching cops to view this exact scenario as a deadly threat - then prosecuting them when they follow that training. a twisted game of gaslighting”

On August 2, 2022 Las Cruces, NM police officer Brad Lunsford was involved in a fatal Officer-Involved-Shooting (OIS) with a career criminal (Presley Eze).

The deadly use of force by Officer Lunsford was investigated internally by the Las Cruces Police Department and criminally by the Dona Ana County District Attorney’s Office.

It was determined that the actions of Officer Lunsford were within department policy, according to training, and in compliance with the law.

The case was over, he was cleared, and Officer Lunsford went back to work.

This next part will sound sickeningly familiar.

Over a year later Officer Lunsford was formally charged with Voluntary Manslaughter by the New Mexico Office of the Attorney General (led by Attorney General Raul Torrez).
