APD is an acronym for the Albuquerque Police Department.
In light of the string of recent fatal shootings by APD officers, some protesters have changed the meaning of the acronym to something chillingly appropriate:
Another Person Dead.
On March 16, APD officers executed James Boyd, a homeless man who was camping in the Sandia Foothills in the outskirts of Albuquerque.
On March 25, citizens marched through the streets of downtown Albuquerque to APD headquarters to protest the shooting of Boyd and others shot by APD officers. At least 1,000 people attended, including a number of elected officials, including State Rep. Moe Maestas, D-Albuquerque, and City Councilor Rey Garduno.
