   ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. –  Hundreds of protesters marched past riot   
   police in Albuquerque on Sunday, days after a YouTube video   
   emerged threatening retaliation for a recent deadly police   
   shooting.   
      
   The video, which bore the logo of the computer hacking   
   collective Anonymous, warned of a cyberattack on city websites   
   and called for the protest march.   
      
   Albuquerque police said their site had been breached early   
   Sunday afternoon and remained down hours later.   
      
   Investigators had not uncovered the source of the hack, police   
   spokesman Simon Drobik said.   
      
   "We can confirm that the website disruption is due to a   
   cyberattack," he said. The site was not "connected to any   
   critical services" and IT personnel are working on the problem,   
   Drobik said.   
      
   The demonstrators, meanwhile, arrived at Civic Plaza holding   
   signs protesting recent police shootings, and activists called   
   on various city officials to resign.   
      
   The protest began Sunday afternoon and continued into the early   
   evening as demonstrators marched around the city.   
      
   By about 6 p.m. Mountain time, a few hundred demonstrators had   
   gathered downtown near police headquarters where they confronted   
   about three dozen officers in riot gear.   
      
   Authorities announced over a loudspeaker that the protest was an   
   unlawful assembly. Demonstrators, meanwhile, chanted, "no   
   justice, no peace!"   
      
   Alexander Siderits, 23, said he was protesting because he was   
   "fed up" with how police treat citizens. "It has reached a   
   boiling point," he said, "and people just can't take it anymore."   
      
   Albuquerque police have been involved in 37 shootings, 23 of   
   them fatal since 2010. Critics say that's far too many for a   
   department serving a city of about 555,000.   
      
   The U.S. Justice Department has been investigating the   
   department for more than a year, looking into complaints of   
   civil rights violations and allegations of excessive use of   
   force.   
      
   Last week, Albuquerque police fatally shot a man at a public   
   housing complex. Authorities said he shot at officers before   
   they returned fire.   
      
   In the shooting on March 16 that led to the YouTube posting   
   Tuesday, a homeless man was killed in the foothills of the   
   Sandia Mountains on the east side of Albuquerque. The shooting   
   was captured on video and followed a long standoff.   
      
   Anonymous, a loosely organized worldwide hacking group, has been   
   blamed for breaking into confidential information and defacing   
   websites.   
      
   The FBI has opened an investigation into the shooting.
