HUNTINGTON BEACH Spectators at Sunday's U.S. Open of Surfing might see this message flying over the ocean: "Vegas police cover up? R.I.P. Erik B. Scott.com."
Here's what it means:
Family and friends have paid for a plane to fly a banner near the municipal pier in an attempt to gain national attention for Scott's death and in hopes of getting answers to some questions.
Scott, a West Point graduate with an MBA from Duke, was killed in an officer-involved shooting at a Las Vegas Costco on July 10, and family and friends say they have little information about what actually occurred.

Copicide....
Play the surveillence tapes. If the tapes are “gone,” then the cops are bad. Otherwise, watch the tapes.
Today, I don’t believe the cops at all, yesterday was a different thing... Seems that our government officials - all stripes, are way too corrupt to believe at face value.
Yep, that is the way I thin it works and cops should understand this too:
1. If you shoot someone and they have a mile long rapsheet, then the burden of proof that you acted badly is on the accusers.
2. If you should someone and they have a West Point degree and a Duke graduate degree, you must show that they acted badly.
I think they better have a tape that shows this guy pointing a gun at them NOT zipped up in a zipper holster. If they can not produce such a tape, someone needs to go to prison.
Wow I need to proof better:
1. “thin” in the first sentence should be think
2. “should” in point 2 should be shoot.
Sounds like someone who still believes that justice as it was explained to us in high school. Have you missed all the planted evidence by police (even FBI), the prosecutors pushing cases because it helps their careers and judges that go along with it for their careers. Probably not...still reading the MSM.
Please read more adverse media...it will help explain things. You don’t have to believe them, just don take the rest at face value.
After all, with all the false evidence, lying by police officers, and other things that have been uncovered lately, you ought to at least have some suspicions.
That’s one remedy
It was reported just after the shooting that the entire event was captured on the store video. The cops declined to comment then the story went quite, nothing more was reported.
I believe the tapes have been sent out of state to a facility for forensic review. The Scott family and firends wnat to view those tapes.
As I have detailed on other threads about the Scott shooting, we need not tar all police with a broad brush, but the police department in this case (LV Metro PD) has a history of cover-ups and pre-emptive payments to victims and their next of kin in cases like this.
Without making any generalization about cops in general across the US (and there are MANY troubling cases across the country to which we can all point) we can say with justification and evidence that the LVMPD is corrupt.
All of Las Vegas local government is suspect. Again, as I have said on other Scott threads, how “clean” can the city government be if the mayor is a mob lawyer? Not a make-believe, Hollywoodesque mob lawyer, but the real deal, a guy who has represented for-real mob killers in court.
I am glad to see that the Scott family is making sure that LVMPD isn’t going to be able to brush this off so easily.
Yes, I use to think as you do.
Maybe you have missed the FBI planting evidence in over 100 cases (and of course caused mis-trials). Maybe you have not understood that prosecutors get their reputation by convictions (innocent or guilty). Maybe you don’t think that the police stop people and give tickets whether they are speeding or not (for the money).
Maybe you are still living in a world of make believe (that I use to live in).
Hell, maybe you even believe in Right and Wrong!
Where’s CSI -LV when you need them?
“Lucy, I thin you’re up to something!”
Exactly and that is a apt picture of Desi.

I haven’t missed those issues. I know of them.
But applying a nation-wide generalization to a specific instance doesn’t get you very far in court.
Applying the history of LVMPD to this case, however, gets a lot further.
