is this jacob yes hi jacob this is
officer skeens with the albuquerque
police department can you tell me what's
going on tonight
uh yes
okay so um earlier this evening i
gave an interview to krqe 13
and in that interview as a state senator
um stated my firm position and belief
that this super spreader event
that happened at the capitol today was a
riot
and it was incredibly irresponsible
given that
we are in a surge right now
and um this evening after that ran at 10
o'clock i received
one two three very very angry phone
calls
from people i don't know but i have the
numbers
saved and the voicemails they left
they're all men white white men
the last voicemail that was left
uh officer oh
guys opening my phone
okay um this is
this is uh i have the phone number and
the message is the message is
transcribed to my service and it says
jacob candelaria i was a democrat before
you were born
you don't even know what it means to be
an american you're one stupid
[ __ ]
and we're going to get you out one way
or another [ __ ] you
hello yeah i'm here okay so it's that
last
piece that's really terrifying in light
of
what has happened to
um other public officials in this
environment
right now um and so my husband and i are
here at our apartment
um pretty terrifying
i called the gov's office to try and get
the state police
in the hopes that there's some sort of
like
some sort of thing that's like you know
i'm a volunteer for this job guys
like you know at the end of the day like
who do i call when
something happens you know
um it's really unclear and it's
it's pretty scary we don't have any
weapons on a gun here you know
any real means of protecting ourselves
um so i'm just really scared
right now officer to be really honest
with you okay
and i just want to ask you sir your
address is the 3608 ledera drive correct
okay um so basically i'm gonna just give
you
uh some ideas of what we can do okay
okay um so
to kind of preface this um
i can't really do anything off a vague
statement with the phone call okay so as
far as like criminal charges
with just that there's not much i can do
i
100 understand that but with that being
said um
first of all if anything happens like
any you see any weird car hanging
outside your apartment
um anytime you get these strange phone
calls if you want to call us
feel free to i promise it's not a waste
of our time or anything like that okay
if you see strange people hanging around
your apartment that you don't recognize
being in the apartment um call us you
know people hang around your work
anything like that
now with that being said the other thing
i can do is i can set up a periodic
watch at your apartment
and basically what that means is um
every so many hours
uh through graveyard so until about
eight a.m
officers will come by and check your
apartment now to extend that
what you have to do is go to the police
substation and request a prolonged
periodic watch okay
officer who do i go to uh the substation
the police substation the civilians
working at the substation
will be able to extend the periodic
watch for you i unfortunately can only
do it for the 24 hours okay
all right thank you very much okay so is
there anything else i can help you with
sir
no i i appreciate that do you have any
other sense officer
when the first sort of like periodic
pass by maybe
this evening um if i put it in i'll put
it in as soon as i got the phone with
you
and the call will be issued in the
northwest area command of the city
as soon as i put it in and basically
that first one it'll just be whenever we
have time to get to it an officer will
head over there
just drive through the area and check
out make sure everything's okay
um thank you so much i do want you to
know though that we are pretty busy
tonight so it might be a while
before an officer can get over there um
but i assure you they will get over
there a few times okay
thank you very much of course is there
anything else i can do for you sir
i just officer let me just just because
i'm just trying to keep everything
straight of what's going on tonight
um what was your name again sir officer
skeens
s-k-e-e-n-s
[Music]
of course you too sir have a good night
bye
all right we have a state police officer
here now
all right so call the governor or
whoever but
the governor should have gotten on the
[ __ ] phone and called the state
police chief
at two in the morning and you tell the
governor that that anything short of
that is ridiculous and that is what i
have told the press
and if they have a problem with that
