New Mexico city will seek to adopt racial bias training for police and may require officers to intervene in possible excessive force episodes following the choking death of a Latino man.
The deal between the city of Las Cruces and a lawyer for the family of Antonio Valenzuela was part of the relatives' push to reform Las Cruces police following their wrongful death lawsuit in the case.
“We are confident that we have made it cost-prohibitive for the Las Cruces Police Department to continue wrongfully killing its citizens,” Sam Bregman, the family's attorney, said. Valenzuela, 40, had a warrant out for his arrest because of a parole violation and fought with officers who tried to detain him after he fled from a traffic stop in February.
