Metro covered up the Scott killing. I’d like to see a crack in the blue shield that would expose the fraud.
This could work either way for the Scott family. It could be the crack that opens the entire crooked dam up or it could be leverage to see that he keeps his rookie mouth shut.
Time will tell. Whatever happens this was such a blatantly bad shoot that the LV Metro PD is going to pay a huge civil judgement.
“The last witness to testify at the coroners inquest was Barbara Fee, who was waiting in line with her granddaughter when they were told to evacuate the store.
Her granddaughter pointed out that there was an officer with a gun by the door.
Fee said she heard the officer yelling at Scott to get down, but he didn’t.
She saw Scott reach for something on his side and then bring his right hand up and point something directly at the officer.
Fee said she couldn’t tell what was in Scott’s hand, but his hand was pointed, “directly at the cop.”
The officer fired, and she looked away while pushing her granddaughter behind her, Fee said.
When she looked back, she saw Scott face-down on the ground and a black object on the ground.
Fee said she was worried Scott was going to shoot the officer.
“I was hoping he wasn’t going to shoot the cop, but with a gesture like that I thought somebody was going to get shot,” she said.
She told police after the shooting that she didn’t think the officer had any option to shoot Scott.
“Thank God the officer was faster,” she said in her statement to police.”

This woman, and all the costco people who said he was acting erratic, and throwing things around off the shelves, ripping open boxes,,,
Oh, and his girlfriend who accompanied him didnt bother to come testify.
Supporting CCW does not mean that he was some harmless guy. An otherwise nice guy can have some episode causing mental confusion, erratic behavior etc. The FR cop hating brigade aside,, a lot of non cop people in that store were freaked out fightened of him. That happens for a reason. And vegas is not like Manhattan where everyone faints dead away at the sight of a gun.
This case isn’t the “cause” that some people wish it was. Being a wonderful honorable soldier once, doesn’t mean that person remains decent, sane, or in other good health forever.
Why should Nevada public employee unions have to worry about behaving ethically? They own the leader of the US Senate.
May justice for the Scott family finally be served in this case, and may everyone involved in the killing of an innocent man in the end receive exactly what they deserve.
It sounds like Las Vegas cops rival New Orleans cops in the corruption/incompetence arena.
There are too many instances of LE getting a slap on the wrist when they need to charged and jailed and lose all pensions and benefits. Their only job is to protect the public, not intimidate and use overwhelming force. They need to be made more respectful of the public instead of given a license to run ram shod.
If you are a ccw holder this case had better make you wary and worried, because LE turned an innocent law abider and situation into a license to murder.
Yep, you need those unions to coordinate a coverup.
Wow, they're like the mob. They should fire every officer on the scene and their superiors.
