KRQE got their hands on this video of Albuquerque police officers shooting a suspect.  A camping homeless man lost his life in the shooting, the content is pretty extreme.  The content of the video is graphic, so watch at your own risk.

In the video, a seemingly submissive suspect is shot by police officers with regular ammunition, then repeatedly shot with non-lethal ammunition.  It definitely seems like excessive use of force.  Even the mayor of Albuquerque, Richard Berry, says it is "wrong to say the shooting was justified".

**WARNING** This video footage is very extreme and graphic in nature.

Would non-lethal ammunition be more appropriate for police, and would equipping police officers, even of Amarillo, prevent deaths?  I'll reference a downtown shooting that caused an uproar with many Amarillo citizens.  The shooting of Claudio Trujillo, where many shots were fired by officers ultimately ending in his death.  Would non-lethal ammunition have prevented such a death?
