   Another Democrat run state.   
      
   LAS CRUCES, N.M. (KRQE) - The former Santa Fe County Sheriff’s   
   deputy accused of murdering a fellow deputy is no longer behind   
   bars.   
      
   On Monday, Tai Chan’s defense attorney entered a “not guilty”   
   plea for Chan in Las Cruces for the first degree murder charge   
   of killing Jeremy Martin.   
      
   The Las Cruces District Judge set Chan’s bond at $600,000 cash   
   or property.   
      
   Chan and his family posted the property bond. As of Monday   
   night, he’s out on the conditions of release, awaiting trial.   
      
   “They’re the standard conditions that anyone charged with a   
   felony in New Mexico would have – maintain weekly contact with   
   an attorney, not violate any laws, stay within a geographical   
   area,” said his attorney, John Day.   
      
   The shooting happened three weeks ago at a hotel in Las Cruces.   
      
   Chan and 29-year-old Jeremy Martin had stopped in Las Cruces for   
   the night after transporting a prisoner to Arizona. Police say   
   the two got into a fight after drinking at a nearby bar.   
      
   Back at the hotel, it escalated, and that’s when they say Chan   
   opened fire on Martin, killing him. Police say he admitted to   
   the shooting afterwards.   
      
   No one has said what the argument was about.   
      
   Martin’s widow lives in Santa Fe.   
      
   Chan is required to stay in Dona Ana County, where the shooting   
   took place, but he’s not required to where a GPS device.   
      
   There’s no trial date yet for Chan, who was fired shortly after   
   the murder.

   The Land of Enchantment. A poor state known to many Americans as   
   Taos, Santa Fe and Los Alamos (the nuclear laboratory); most   
   don’t know it has one of the highest drug rates in the country.   
   Drug use tends to lead to criminal behavior such as robbery,   
   assault, rape, burglary, and murder, says the National Council   
   on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. New Mexico’s violent   
   crime rate is fourth worst in the country; the burglary rate is   
   second worst. Former New Mexico legislator Dennis Kentigh wrote   
   in the Albuquerque Journal, “We dare not pretend this does not   
   have an effect on our economy or our overall quality of life,”   
   when speaking about the devastating crime rates in the state.

   Look at the bright side. Maybe he will flee and leave his family   
   in the lurch. I do indeed also think that he is responsible for   
   killing the Tasmanian Devil in the zoo. Bastard, you killed   
   Kenny !

   The irony is that they have to live and work with these anger   
   management challenged colleagues that they protect and cover for   
   until they kill one of them.

   How many times in the United States has an individual that is   
   NOT a member of law enforcement that has murdered an officer by   
   shooting him in the back been given a bail of $600,000 or bail   
   at all in this situation? Another one of the disparities in our   
   justice system that makes the public say............hmmmmm.

   The authorities in Las Cruces (and/or the media) are putting a   
   lot of emphasis on the fact that these guys were drinking.   
      
   Drinking impairs judgement. Drinking creates a false sense of   
   bravery. But chasing a guy down the hall (especially when you   
   are a trained professional) goes way beyond alcohol impaired   
   judgement or bravery.   
      
   There has to be other factors that would make the man think that   
   was a viable thing to do.

   You're not going to like what I am thinking.   
      
   I am thinking that the "above reproach" "untouchable" cultural   
   attitude that is prevalent in law enforcement culture combines   
   with a little mental health failure resulting in these   
   irrational violent outbursts.   
      
   The attitude is dangerous with out mental health breakdown. But   
   with it even the cops are at risk.

   BS!!!!!!!!!!!! Felony charges get hit with pre-trial crap, meet   
   with probation/parole weekly/daily, drug alcohol testing, fees,   
   ankle bracelets, house arrest. Yeah right. Special treatment for   
   a cop murderer?

   That's not necessarily true, many first time offenders or "non   
   violent" offenders aren't required to have a bracelet. However,   
   with the severity and obviously violent nature of this crime, he   
   should be treated like any other felon would be.
