Gunned Down in Vegas: What Really Happened to Erik Scott?
This is truly tragic beyond words. There is no way to express the unbelievable horror that this family and, more particularly, the girlfriend of this man have experienced and will live with forever. Mistakes, very serious mistakes, were made by Costco employees and Costco management. If the facts as presented are acurate, the employee “spinup” set the tone for the eventual death of an innocent man. The LV police department, on the other hand, is virtually without excuse. Regardless of their education level or ethnicity, their professionalism was completely absent at this point and an innocent man died horribly.
Without excoriating all policemen and police departments, virtually everyone would agree that the “thin blue line” has some particularly thin points as it works to serve and protect. In this case, that line turned from blue to red.
