In an opinion piece titled “Medina is NOT a Hero,” the discussion focuses on the Albuquerque leadership’s reaction to APD Chief of Police Harold Medina’s actions during a recent shooting incident. The article critically assesses Mayor Tim Keller’s support for Medina, who chose to flee an active shooter scene, an action that resulted in injury to an innocent bystander.

This comparison raises questions about the current expectations and responsibilities of law enforcement officers.
Furthermore, the article examines the potential motivations behind efforts to retain Chief Medina despite this controversy, including the desire to end Department of Justice oversight.

The full article provides a thorough exploration of these complex themes, presenting a detailed critique suitable for those interested in law enforcement standards and administrative accountability.
