The US DOJ did a 1 1/2yr investigation on the Alb PD "Department of Justice concluded in April 2014 that the Albuquerque Police Department's use of lethal force "was excessive and constituted an ongoing risk to the public." The city in November agreed to lengthy reform and monitoring procedures imposed by the Department of Justice .
But less than two months later, on Jan. 9 this year, Lt. Brachle shot Grant nine times with a .45 caliber handgun while Grant made an undercover $60 drug buy, according to the complaint. Grant nearly died. Almost all his internal organs were injured and he lost 80 percent of his blood.
Grant says Brachle shot him from less than 5 feet away, in broad daylight, during a planned operation involving other police officers with whom Brachle was communicating. It was in a MacDonald's parking lot at about 11 a.m.
