| 28 people have been shot to death by Albuquerque police over the last five years
After a fitful few hours of sleep, Kari Brandenburg reads a note every morning on a bulletin board in her closet, written to herself: "Being a hero is enduring for one moment more."
The sentiment has become a source of inspiration for Brandenburg, Albuquerque's chief prosecutor, and a signal of how deep the rift has grown between the Bernalillo County district attorney's office and the police in this city.
For months, the region's two top law enforcement agencies have been locked in a conflict over last year's fatal police shooting of a mentally ill homeless man — a case the officers said was self-defense, but which Brandenburg alleged was murder.
