Gunned Down in Vegas: What Really Happened to Erik Scott?
As a long time Las Vegas Resident (over 12 years) I’ve come to fear any and all police persons in the Las Vegas Area. There have been numerous encounters publicized in the news about “mishaps” involving persons going about their daily lives and ending up dead. Phrases like “lunged at the officers” and “furtive movements” are commonplace in the police statements, and always ending in the death of a person. The other point neglected in all of these stories is that the inquests – conducted after the shootings, are done by POLICE OFFICERS. All the “members” of the inquest board are Las Vegas Police officers, and as long as I can remember, no police involved in any shooting have been found to have fired their weapons in error. Isn’t having the police conducting inquests on the police like using convicts as guards?
