SEVERAL PROTESTERS WERE AT THE EMBASSY SUITES HOTEL SUNDAY NIGHT TO STAND UP AGAINST THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION’S EVENT IN ALBUQUERQUE. THE ORGANIZATION SPONSORS A POLICE MARKSMENSHIP CONTEST IN ALBUQUERQUE AND AFTER THIS YEAR IT’LL BE SCRAPPED. ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR TIM KELLER DECIDED TO END THE N-R-A EVENT BECAUSE OF A LOW RETURN ON INVESTMENT.
THE PROTESTERS HAD WITH THEM THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO KILLED IN POLICE SHOOTINGS AND THEY CARRIED TOMBSTONES AS WELL. THEY WANT POLICE TRAINING ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO BE CHANGED.
