A few years ago, when Erik Scott found himself unemployed in the midst of Las Vegas' deepest recession, his father worried about where his son would find work.
But Erik just laughed. He never worried. The West Point graduate told his father he would get a haircut, buy a suit and look for a new job. "We always laughed about the Erik Scott luck," his father, Bill Scott, said Thursday. "It just always seemed to go his way until July 10, 2010. It went totally against him."
Bill Scott, a former Air Force colonel, and a journalist and author, said his son's death at the hands of three Las Vegas police officers in front of a Costco store Saturday would give voice to other citizens killed by police.

“Yeah, they are. I picked up one for $13 at Big Lots which I’m going to install on my front porch.”
Well the ones they use in business and actually expect to work are generally $100 to $1,000 each. The DVR systems used to managed and track all the cameras get quite pricey as well. Then there’s running cable and sometimes power through the big stores.
But hey, big lots has it all covered.
That appears to be the case in Clark County. From the article:
...Clark County's coroner inquest process should be reformed...only once in its 34-year history has an inquest jury not found an officer's actions justified or excusable.
Back in the mid-90's during the drawdown? Yes.
Your “guess” is based on nothing. There’s a word for that.
Someone needs to find out the identity of the Costco employee... So we can “make them famous”.
Valid point about his time served, caught my eye too. My son graduated from WP in “06” has served 4 yrs and has 4 more to go because he went to flight school.. I have heard of no one getting out early
But, early out, alone doesn’t prove erratic behavior.
Most of the people in our class were offered a release if we'd just sign a paper. Those who remained would have to compete for a limited number of available positions. Considering the a**hat in charge, most of us opted to sign the paper.
This same procedure was repeated with people on active duty. Remember what happened to Forrest Gumpf?
But since I'm a mere citizen with an unlimited supply of money and Cosco is a big corporation who has to show a profit, I'll have to agree that spending $100 or more for a security camera is just too expensive when you can just call in the cops to shoot an inconvenient customer. After all, he was only a cracker. < / sarcasm >
But this was in the mid-90's. Lots of folks were getting early outs. In the USAF, we had folks finish pilot training and then get out immediately.
Thank you for the clarification......
You’re welcome. These later news articles are trying very hard to defend the police while smearing an innocent man. The earlier ones were a little different.
To me, it seems that wearing bullet proof vest would go hand in hand with carrying a concealed weapon. One without the other seems somewhat illogical. IMHO.
Yes, I know.
I'm an evil racist.
I already know that.
The MSM tells me every single day.
They are hoping that this will simply fade. It won’t. Scotts father won’t let it.
Nor should he.
Nor should WE.
I don’t think freepers will but then we aren’t your average “sheeple”. Freepers have long memories.
Unless it exonerates the police, it won’t be released.
I agree that’s why I already said the cops should be tried for murder and the Costco employee as an accessory to murder.
Cameras are a lot less expensive than "slip and fall" lawsuits.
