the [Costco security] guard had told police that Erik Scott was armed with a gun, was acting aggressively and erratically, and that he may have been under the influence of drugs

Where is this established as fact. As far as I can tell, it is an assumption or speculation based on what was dispatched and the massive police response. We know what the police dispatch and audio traffic was. We have no proof of what the security guard or other costgo employee actually said. I wouldn't make such an assumption until it was proved as fact.

I went to Vegas with some friends seven or eight years ago. All of them are very accomplished, responsible guys in thier forties. Several of them had an encounter with the Las Vegas PD. Although I was not with them at the time, I am told that the officers were irrational, aggressive, rude, direspectful, and hostile. My heart weeps for the young man victimized by the Las Vegas PD. I hope the lawsuit which will surely follow results in an adeqautely large award against the City of Las Vegas that it will motivate the city to control its officers.

The radio traffic has been released, and it's in the dispatcher statements.
