    The Journal's Opinion:
    Daily Editorials

    These editorials first appeared in the Albuquerque Journal. They were written by editorial page staff and are unsigned as they represent the opinion of the newspaper rather than the writers.

    Yes, Albuquerque police officers need to be able to manage crowds, control crime scenes and enforce the law. But that shouldn't involve arresting law-abiding citizens, clogging up the courts with frivolous citations and wasting time and countless tax dollars.   (Sunday, July 06, 2008)
