I have voiced that opinion, that it is possible that we will once again intern a group of people. Every now and then, someone who just happens to be Muslim cooks off and people are killed or injured. In time, one or more might figure out how to kill tens of thousands if not millions, and the round up will begin.

From the tape I put together a transcript

>>Sergent England: Sir, what did I do to deserve handcuffs?

Metro Officer: Well, it’s law enforcement’s view you used foul language and because we want to. I told you to give me your boarding pass.

Sergent England: I tried to give you my boarding pass, sir.

Metro Officer: You tried to be a jerk.

Beating begins.<<

I wish we hd access to everything but we don’t. But listening to that exchange, and assuming that’s how it went down, this became a “contempt of cop” incident. As the other poster noted - “Respect my authoritah.”

And that fat cop who mimicked the soldier falling screwed up big time. If he doesn’t relaize how unprofessional and clownish it made him and LVPD look, he’s going to find out soon!

I have noticed that a lot of you are asking what we can do to relieve these vile officers of their duty for beating/tasing and laughing and mimicking him...below is what we can do! we would be so grateful for you help!

Julianna England x0x

Hello family and friends~
This is an update to let you know that we still need your help to make Sgt. England’s story go national to put the needed pressure on Las Vegas Metro Police Dept. to fire these officers that beat, tased and laughed and mimicked him. Listed below are the email contacts for the National networks, talk shows and online reports. Below that is a letter to copy and paste to all of them asking the to tell Sgt. England’s Story! If you could simply personalize the letter with your name, then go to each of these sites, we could generate enough interest to get them to tell his story. I know its a little bit of work, however it is also the right thing to do! If the tables were turned WE would do this for you in a heartbeat! Please let me know if you have any questions!

We love you guys!
Julianna England

England’s story has made it to ABC-KTNV Las Vegas, liveleak.com, youtube.com, its ALL over Myspace, military blogs EVERYWHERE, military.com and has even made it to the front page of Senator Fred Thompson’s Official Myspace page at www.myspace.com/officialthompson2008! All you have to do is do a Google search and it comes up on tons of sites all over the internet and it is spreading! 1000’s of people from all over the world, even outraged soldiers in Iraq, are emailing and calling the Las Vegas Metro Police Dept., demanding that these officers’ be fired, 1000’s from all over the world, are emailing and calling Sgt. England and KTNV-ABC Vegas with outrage over what happened to Sgt. England! These LVMPD officers are still on the job collecting paychecks at our expense while Sgt. England’s unit deploys to Iraq with out him due to the injuries he sustained in this beating and tasing by the officer’s. He is now undeployable, making it a total loss for his unit, Sgt. England is a combat medic and saves lives! If you would please tell Sgt. England’s story! This is an outrage to all of us as American’s that these Las Vegas Metro Police officers’ have gotten away with beating, tasing and laughing and mimicking a highly respected United States Army Soldier whom has served our Country with honor! It is a story that needs to be told Details of the Newscast videos are below, along with the video links and contact info! We hope that you will do the right thing and tell Sgt. England’s Story!

OK, I have perhaps the most privative web site on earth up at http://www.boycottlasvegas.com/

Hosting is cheap and already paid for. Anybody with money to contribute should contact the Englands, not me.

But I could really use web design help and somebody who knows their way around Myspace.

I have also reserved BoycottLasVegas.Blogspot.com and WWW.Myspace.com/BoycottLasVegas

Please feel free to Freepmail me or I’ve set up an email at IWantToHelp@boycottlasvegas.com

Oh, and please try not to laugh. I know very little about web design and have no artistic talent.

Julianna, if you read this, first, God bless you and your husband. I’m sorry the site doesn’t look better. If there is anything that you don’t like about the content just let me know.

Me too. Reno’s a friendlier town anyway. We should all boycott Las Vegas. A national boycott of Vegas would ensure that those @hole cops were fired.

The prisoners they take in Iraq get treated better than this.

Have these bums been arrested yet?
