A cowardly Las Vegas cop who admitted that he froze in a hallway while responding to the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history has been fired, department officials said.

Officer Cordell Hendrex — who was caught on body camera footage waiting in a hallway one floor below a mass shooter at the Mandalay Bay hotel for nearly five minutes on Oct. 1, 2007 – was fired March 20, a Metropolitan Police Department spokesman told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Department officials declined further comment on Hendrex’s employment, but a police union president confirmed to the newspaper that the nearly 10-year veteran had been terminated due to his actions while responding to the attack that killed 58 people.

Okay, so this cop was fired by Las Vegas. How long before he is quietly picked up by another department?

And that does happen. Smaller departments will often pick up a tarnished cop - who can hit the streets tomorrow - instead of paying to put a new recruit through the academy.

They mean October 1, 2017, not October 1, 2007.

“And still we have no determination of what that was all about”

But we do have anti-gun protests and lawsuits against gun manufacturers from that incident.

After this amount of time, any “determination” that might be forthcoming will be nothing but bullshit anyway.

Fed, state and local Law Enforcement are NOT to be trusted....and not just about THIS incident.

Is this the standard for all police officers? Or just white male officers? I would like to hear this from police officers.

A slaughter of mostly young conservative-leaning white people. Cui bono?
