After shooting a man in very dubious circumstances, they continued to shoot him in the back as he lay face-down on the ground.
The cops immediately confiscated all of the security camera footage and then pronounced the footage from several cameras as being unusable.
The man they murdered was a West Point graduate, who had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Erik Scott, the man who was slaughtered by the Las Vegas police, was a pharmaceutical company sales rep. Because the Las Vegas cops are feeling heat over murdering a professional-class white dude, they have resulted to trying to smear his character to justify their heinous act of carnage.
One can only hope that after the Las Vegas cops get done whitewashing their crimes, that they will feel some Federal heat in the same way that the New Orleans cops are now experiencing.
And a seven or eight figure civil verdict would be nice, as well.

Holy fuckamoly...I am linking to this woman.
A couple of details that you may not know. First, this incident happened in a "nice" yuppie neighborhood where even now there are half million dollar mansions near by, and where shootings "don't happen." It was within line of sight of a huge luxury resort casino (that happens to contain two of my favorite restaurants), and it wouldn't shock me if the casino parking lot cameras got pictures of both Mr. Scott's and the police's cars arriving. The latest in today's paper was that neither the Scott family lawyers nor the ACLU are being allowed to see any evidence prior to the coroner's inquest. I don't know jack about how the coroner's office works, but it seems to me they could have gotten started sooner than 2 months after the "incident." Not even the Mayor likes this situation, and he used to be a mob lawyer.
The local paper appears to be in on the hatchet job, accusing him of having been accused of domestic violence, but it sounds like bitter grapes from an ex-wife to me.
No offense meant to you, Bridget, but I passed through your fair city once. Stayed overnight. I read the local morning paper; having birds crap on it would be superfluous.
No offense taken! The R-J is not what anybody would call award winning journalism. If it weren't for the fact that it's cheaper to let them toss the darn thing at my door every morning than to just buy the Sunday paper each week, I wouldn't have a subscription.
Oh yeah, and today's "Living" section they included this "balanced" commentary. Yeah, really appropriate to talk about a man being shot to death in front of a store right above Dear Abby.
