The attorney representing the family of a woman gunned down by Henderson police during a traffic stop says the coroner's inquest which cleared police may help the family's case. Attorney Marc Saggese says the inquest transcripts provide a wealth of information from the officers who testified during the two-day process.
We have long wanted to talk with Henderson police but they refuse to address the incident on Face to Face. Former Chief Richard Perkins, saying it was against the advice of his attorney, has spoken with other media about the shooting. But when it comes to appearing on Face to Face, Perkins has heeded counsel's advice.
At a news conference shortly after the shooting I asked Perkins why police closed the air space above the scene to media helicopters. Perkins said it was a call made by someone on the scene and noted it probably bore no relevance to the case. Later Perkins referred to a "checklist" which included the airspace provision and noted the "checklist" may be in need of revision.
Was it revised? Did the police, as promised, review any of the procedures which resulted in just one of nine officers firing a lethal weapon? What have the police done to combat what even Mayor Jim Gibson notes is a sense among citizens that they could be shot?
The police refuse to say. Perhaps a federal court will compel them to answer.
The woman who was "gunned down" (gee, no bias there on your part) got what she deserved. She had no business being at the scene in the first place, let alone with a knife. If her dimwit husband had just shut his mouth and signed the ticket, none of this would have happened.
Funny, TGIN, the police are refusing to release copious text messages from Morrison the killer to his girlfriend after the murder. Wonder why? You know, when a person trained in "Center mass killing" thinks that a 100 lb woman is a threat to his life, you just have to wonder how he ever served in the military-Maybe he was a mess cook? The worst thing was the trial inquest, when his fellow officers, including the politically connected former chief, lied through their teeth to protect him, when they all knew he was really a violent psychopath. Homies don't "snitch", neither do cops. Whitewash is more than a paint.....
Stay on 'em, Dana -- you are the only voice of this dead victim!
TGinVegas -- You remember this comment next time you're in Henderson and see those red & blue lights in your mirrors.

How can anyone with a heart say such a cruel thing that this lady deserved to die. You should be ashamed of yourself...OH wait, could it be you are the Nazi cop that shot her. KillerB is so correct....WATCH out it can happen to you and maybe someone out their may have a few kind words for you. God does not like Ugly and in my book, you are as ugly as they get. Shame on you
There is an obvious cover-up for this murdering Henderson police scumbag. If there is any justice left in this country, the Feds will step in and throw a bunch of so-called cops in jail.
Good grief! Another frivolous lawsuit by an ambulance-chasing trial lawyer with clients who haven't a leg to stand on.
Nice to see the anti-police crowd in full gear.
Agant49, I know that's your I.Q. but Nazi's, really? Go back wherever you came from, you call people ugly and have no problem calling them Nazi's but if someone calls you out, you act the world should stop turning.
Man I hope Dozier gets what is coming to him.

and maybe one day your dream of getting a real life will come true. And I am back.
