A cop is part of a sting for catch drug buyers. He knows there are undercover cops as part of the sting. He skips the pre-sting briefing where everything is discussed.

Then during the buy, he walks up to the car, opens the door, and just starts shooting the drug dealer (ooops, it is an undercover cop) inside multiple times. Continues shooting while the undercover cops tries to crawl away while pleading for him to stop shooting. Cop keeps shooting until his clip is empty.

There was the fact that Brachle knew Detective Jacob Grant was involved in a drug buy last January, a sting the superior officer walked up on while Grant sat in an undercover police car. There were Grant’s clothes, an outfit specially worn according to a safety protocol to prevent friendly fire incidents. Even Grant’s position in the car—behind another undercover narcotics agent in the driver’s seat—was to signal to other officers that the two men were cops.

So he ignored all standard police procedures

But most damning—and the most confusing part of it all—is that Brachle and Grant were well-known to each other. For nearly two years, they worked in the narcotics division of the department.

Worked with him for 2 years, yet just opened fire.

Brachle went against protocol by approaching the driver’s side of the car Grant was sitting in. The lieutenant again broke the rules when he ripped open the door and started firing into Grant, alleging without offering a single “hands up,” or “freeze,” according to the complaint.

Brachle’s actions were called “overzealous and aggressive,” in Grant’s lawsuit. Another way of saying it might be that Brachle went John Wayne, swooping into a situation he apparently knew little about, guns blazing. Even if Grant wasn’t a cop, Brachle’s alleged zealousness to fire on a suspect presenting no apparent threat would be disturbing.

Brachle first put two bullets into Grant’s torso at point-blank range. The detective’s body slumped over in the back seat. Brachle then fired seven more times as Grant tried to crawl away.

“Please stop shooting,” the detective pleaded as the lieutenant kept firing.

No weapons drawn or visible, just opened the door and starting shooting. Just another great cop obviously.

To top it off, the other cops had no problems not shooting anyone:

Perhaps worst of all, as Brachle shot his fellow cop, the two suspects in the drug bust were busy surrendering peacefully to officers on the other side of the car.

Of course, the city is totally defending one cop, and guess which one it is? Yup, it's the shooter, not the victim. City says nothing wrong, we are investigating.

How is this cop a lieutenant? Disregards all policy, ignores pre-sting briefing, yet walks up and opens fire for no reason.

seems that PD set itself up for something like this:

Grant’s lawsuit also makes mention of the 2012 Department of Justice report that found Albuquerque police were overly aggressive and regularly used lethal force. That judgment came after an especially violent few years beginning in 2010; from January of that year through February 2015, Albuquerque police shot 42 people, one of the highest rates of shootings by law enforcement officers in the country.

It's Albuquerque. They're really trigger happy since they hear there was some guy in a pork pie hat and sunglasses making some serious meth.
