The last anyone heard they are at a forensics lab in Calif.
It appears there was no sign, but I can’t really tell what exactly happened (I think I recall from another article that there was a security video but it wasn’t released, or it was ruined, or something?)
You know, it’d be a shame if these three officers were found hanging from a cactus somewhere out in the desert. Only sayin’, y’know?
Did ya get the part where I said playing devils advocate?
I agree. I am surprised that a WP grad, on private property, would not with courtesy comply with the responsible request of the property owner or his representative.
I would.
I am near radical 2nd Amendment advocate, even for felons who have done their time, but also a private property fiend. If you are on someone’s property, they are the king, and obey or leave, just as you would wish on your property.
That being said, there is no excuse for the poor police procedure and actions, giving him contradictory orders and then killing him.
No excuse for them not releasing the phone call and video tapes.
No excuse for them covering for each other such that only one officer in the entire city over 20 years has ever been found to act improperly (and he wasn't charged with a crime).
Is there no Internal Affairs office in Las Vegas, or are they all asleep at their desks? Not one corrupt officer in all of Las Vegas worthy of prosecution in decades?
Really?
In that same Metro Area, the police are noted for ‘getting their man’. Even if he’s not the one who committed a crime.
“It must have been a frightening tale: over a dozen police officers responded, along with a helicopter, ambulance, and competing incident command teams.”
With that much ‘investment’ of manpower and equipment, somebody had to die to justify the cost.
LEO = strictly enforced laws of the ruling class.
I do not trust the anti-second amendment/dope hunter types. Both are willing to knock your door down and stomp through your home like it is a war zone. If they make a mistake, they use lies and misinformation to thwart public outcry or accountability.
That was the last I heard also.....yet Mr. Owens and PJ Media seem to be oblivious to their existance or to the possibility of this evidence having been tampered with.
Perhaps if NO ONE reports on them, they will just cease to exist.
And yet the results of this display of naked incompetence and/or corruption has been a big “so what?” among our nations prosecutors and police departments. As well as a big dose of “they were probably guilty of something anyway, or involved in some way.” despite the forensic impossibility of such.
I really really hope Erik’s parents and his girlfriend get a HUGE chunk of money from COSTCO in the wrongful death lawsuit. The primary root cause was the Costco employee embellishing his call to the police, and strangely the internal Costco security cameras that would have shown what Erik was really doing and acting were “glitched”.
No, We do not know what the guard told police. All we know is what the police told police
Cops cause crimes.
In this case: MURDER of a good man in cold blood.
At least ONE of those three cops is no better, nor deserves less harsh a penalty, than the two beasts currently on trial in Connecticut.
Maybe that's because all these stories are one sided.
Where is the Justice Department. They should be all over this.
Think about it. Corrupto cops don’t want to put their own in the slammer. The inmates wont be to kind to mr. Trigger happy but he belongs behind bars. This really sucks hope there will be some justice for the killers
I agree with your. The actions of the LVPD are not indicative of police departments across the country.
After all, It's LAS VEGAS.
I still put half the blame on the COSTCO SECURITY GUARD. I think the POLICE do as well. Notice that her name, her statements, have not been released. Just like the recording of her 911 call.
The reason? We know, don't we?
COSTCO would lose a lot of business if the 911 call was released. It's always about the money. In Vegas, money trumps human life.
