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.

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

Yeah,

An anti-cop video makes it to MSM.

Bump stocks head toward a lawsuit.

Interesting, I heard that the woman is suing 8 gun manufacturers.

Where is the list of manufacturers of the shooter’s guns?

Are there still 8 in the US?

What about the cop wearing the body camera that was with him?

That would be Brian Williams, journalist.

And overweight

Interestingly, Hendrex's wife, Jennifer Howk Hendrex, posted to Facebook on October 2, calling her husband a hero in several Facebook posts following the massacre.

She even writes her hero husband "ran to gunfire" even though her husband admits quite frankly to being a coward through his own words written in his own police report.

 

On October 19, 2017 Jennifer Howk Hendrex, along with another LVMPD officer's wife, posted a video to youtube titled 'Podcast: Episode 4' where the two police wives discuss what their husbands did during the Las Vegas shooting.

In the video, Jennifer talks about her husband "Cory."

"All we know is their truth."

But Jennifer has since removed her Facebook posts about her husband being a hero, along with Episode 4 from her YouTube channel Yarning with the Hadlock Girls.

Donuts and steroids are a bad combination.

Thick is stout or fat.

Wasted is skinny, undernourished.

Thick-waisted is what you are talking about.

Well, the most plausible explanation was the assassination attempt on a Saud prince.

I know for sure their official story was a load of garbage.
