A Metro Police car is stationed outside an apartment complex in east Las Vegas where a narcotics officer shot Trevon Cole while executing a search warrant June 11.
Officer-involved shooting
A man was shot to death Friday night while narcotics officers were executing a search warrant at an east Las Vegas apartment, Metro Police said.
Detectives with the department’s narcotics unit served a search warrant at about 9 p.m. at the Mirabella apartment complex in the 2800 block of East Bonanza Road, not far from Eastern Avenue.
Detectives knocked and announced their presence at the apartment, according to a report from Metro’s Robbery-Homicide Bureau, but after receiving no response, the detectives entered the apartment.
A pregnant woman was found hiding in a bedroom closet and was taken into custody, police said.
Detectives then tried to enter a bathroom where the suspect was hiding. Police said the man made a “furtive movement” toward a detective, who fired a single shot at the man.
The suspect died at the scene a short time later, police said.
"It was during the course of a warrant and as you all know, narcotics warrants are all high-risk warrants," Capt. Patrick Neville of Metro's Robbery-Homicide Bureau said Friday night.
Police have not said if the suspect was armed at the time of the shooting. The man appeared to be in his early 20s, police said, but his identity will be released later by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
The officer who fired the shot will be placed on administrative leave while the incident is under investigation, which is standard department policy, Neville said.
The identity of the detective will be released 48 hours after the shooting, per Metro policy.
Metro...One shot in true self defence on a narco warrant....Real cops not like HPD's cowboys or should I say thugs with badges, 6 cops fired gawd knows how many shots and they even negocaited for 45 minutes... not to mentioned how many cops were on scene?This is just a observation...
Henderson PD negotiated 45 long minutes pleading with the woman to come out of the car. She refused and decided to put the car in reverse in an attempt to flee. Never mind that there were officers behind the car or that these two thugs were armed and they had already stolen a car or that they already broke into someone's home. EVERYONE knows the Police are not just going to go away. I guess in your world it is OK to let these kind of animals just roam the streets. Use of a vehicle the way she used it is considered a deadly weapon, and oh by the way...the male passenger was not killed.
No weapon. The police bust in the door, with guns drawn to my lil sister and her now deceased boyfriend.(My sister is 8 1/2 months pregnant) Two weeks til the due date. But they bust in the door, irritated they didnt find any weapons or drugs, drag this young man in the restroom to interrogate him and 2 mns later my sister here a shot. They shoot him with a shotgun, no weapon. For what? My sister is a baby, this young man a baby now my sister is at his house telling his mom her son is dead and he is barely 21.. Damn, they going to be mad im telling the truth here.. Police are the biggest gangsters on the planet, so the above comments STFU, you dont know whats going on!!
after reading my post that is the most intelligent thing you had to say. Either your insecure or lack the compassion to say anything civilized, probably not in your character or lack of home training. (I see you spelled my name wrong when its right there in front of you..smdh say 6th gray education?) The story your commenting on has nothing to do with this one, learn message board etiquette

My comment was to the previous post above mine, in which MR906 refers to HPD. It is correct etiquette to comment on ANYTHING read on a PUBLIC BULLETIN BOARD! As far as the 6th grade education...In your own post 'after' should be capitalized, it is the beginning of a sentence. You wrote 'had to say' should be 'have to day' it is present tense. It is written 'either your insecurity' or 'you're insecure' or 'you are insecure' but not 'your insecure'. You do not need () for your sentence. The end of your last sentence should have a period.
In fact, you did not write a single sentence correctly.
People in glass houses...
Looks like the biggest streetgang in Vegas got another notch on their belts. Who wants to bet this killing will be ruled justifiable? Oh the stories Metro will have for this killing.
I know I have heard story after story of the abuse of Metro. It never stops!
It looks like we are going to have to come together as civilians to form some kind of formal protest with our elected officials to DEMAND answers to the violent abuse by Metro on the civilian population.
These guys need to learn the first order of business and that is to respect the rights of individuals.
We are in the age of a police state. Just ask anyone what kind of attitude they get when simply pulled over by Metro on a routine traffic stop.
How embarrassing to have a police department so vile and disrespectful to the citizens of Las Vegas.
Not enough info from the article to make a judgement call on the actions of Metro.
Serving drug warrants is dangerous duty.
Let's wait for the facts to present themselves.
All Law Enforcement Officers in the valley that do street work subject themselves to the vagaries of chance when dealing with our population of weasels.... self-protection mode is a very powerful and necessary element of these bust-ins.
Crooks have a self-protection mode too.
Even damaged DNA is going to sense imminent danger and react to it.
I had Metro come to my house that i just moved in two months ago and asked for and ask for someone that used to live here . I treated them with respect and having nothing to hide. Guess what they respected me. So if you follow the Laws you most likely be alive tomorrow.
There is a difference between the AUTHORIZED use of deadly force, from the legal perspective - And the NESSISARY use of deadly force, from the 'no option' perspective.
Mature, professional law enforcement officers know the difference -- The young-gunslinger Cowboys do not"
Back in the locker room, they high-five each other and give the poor military imitation of a Hooah! Some plan a beer-fest during the 3 day mandatory suspsension - But as the Young-guns grow older -- they will silently question what options might have prevented that use of deadly force.
Obviously? no not necessarily, but I'm sure Metro's 100% record will prevail with the coroner's jury.
There are not enough details to make a educated guess on what really happened here.
If there is a Narco warrant involved, something was up.
Once the facts are out then all will know what really happened.
Tray0036, I am betting you where not at the scene so you have no more idea what really happened then anyone reading this article. If I was you I also would not be commenting on people's education after the posts you have made here.
Wow. There seems to be a plethora of spelling geniuses in here today.
Is Nevada on this list? hmmmmmm

"It was during the course of a warrant and as you all know, narcotics warrants are all high-risk warrants."
This "as you all know..." triggers the herd's lynch mob reflex. It only triggers my gag reflex.
tray036 -- good man for kicking over the rock these killers with our badges on 'em live under. Sanctioned killings like these need to be exposed and the killers prosecuted for their crimes.
This is nothing either unique to Vegas or isolated. It's happening everywhere as our police become more militarized and unchecked. Check out Radley Balko's excellent exposes on this, starting with "Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids in America" @ http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_... and "Drug War Police Tactics Endanger Innocent Citizens" @ http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_...
From these you'll see serving drug warrants is where a lot of innocents get killed -- and the powers that be are aggressive in endorsing even when the killers get the wrong address.

To RIPTREYV:
If your cousin was anything like you the baby is better off without his father. Your cousin had a baby on the way??? Why wasn't he married to the mother? A respectable young man would have done so.
My initial reaction was to be supportive of your cousin and his now fatherless child. However, after reading your post I empathize with the police.
Ummm thiss iss treyvon cousinn QUANESHA , I see hiss fiancee iss on here and I and I know we don't know each other but I really hope you let the familyyy see the babyy .
To greendino ,
Idgaf what you have to sayyy , you don't havee to deal with what our family and the mother of his child has to go thru , so just STFU , you know nothinq about him .
RiPtreyy
Apparently you do care what greendino has to say. Otherwise, you would not of commented on his post.
to greendino we was young but we planned to get married july 2011 after i lost my baby fat!!! im only 20 and he jus made 21 13days ago we planned to have a black and white affair...... he loved me dearly and NO he was not mean,cruel,rude, DISRESPECTFUL, none of that he was loved by everyone ppl who didnt even know him loved him.....but here we go again opinions r like a rear end WE ALL HAVE ONE....

Okayy thatss good , kuss we really wanna be apart of the babyy , me and trey grew up together ass kidss but yeaa I look forward to meetinq you at the funeral !!! Whatss you namee ?
Just shaking my head at some of the post. It looks as if some of you still live under a rock and its 2010. TO poster: vegaslee,Journey,bape702 are worthless scum, I will be in Vegas the next few days. Call my sister a shake up girl, while im in the same city. You worthless insensitive comments can be said behind a computer screen, I bet in a million years wouldn't say anything like that to someones face. I'm here to make a statement, prove a point, and I guess the republican in you had to come out. I am not writing a essay, or trying to get an A. I'm letting the people know what happen, to get bashed not the plan. You senior citizens need to get off the computer and go back to playing bingo.
sequioa, we been together since high school december 2010 would've make 5 yrs.... i look forward to meeting u too
Do you have anywayy I could get in contact with you , myspace ? Aim? Or a number ?
December 2010 would've made 5 years true high school sweethearts
i dont wanna post my info on here these ppl r cruel obviously
Well done metro, thank you for saving us money. Keep up the excellent work, we appreciate all you do.
For those who ridicule Metro, you're either in the system or your one of the ones that is a drain our society. In either case we don't care about you, you are part of the problem, not the solution. It is your mindsets and lifestyle choices that we don't have a problem with metro doing their job and doing it well. The better job Metro does, we have one less burden on society.
Dont do it. There is a few descent people here, but the rest what do you expect from Vegas when your allowed to drink in public? Besides they have no actual human contact other than the internet, so there lonely and try to inflict there pain onto others because of what there experiencing in there everyday life. God knows your heart, and 1 day you will eat your words
To my cousinn r.I.p
Im stuck in a place I thought i`ll never be , where my heart is just ache`n and it won't stop , I know your in a better place but why did you have to leave us now??? , it just isn't right im cryinq and im cryinq , what could I do ??? How do you grow up with somebody then the next thinq you know their qonee , your lifee wass to short onlyy 21 yrs old , im askn myself why you tre why you ,,, just know your gonee but never forgotten , you`ll alwayss be missed cousinn , I love you tre !!!!
How is it well done? A single shot. Not a shootout, not a bank robbery, no high speed chase, none of that.@its2hot, you must live on a farm. You probably dont even have a job, talking about taxes and burden.. Go back to your rock, and go back to bed I'm sure it's activity time at the center.. Beat it
Lmao, drinking in public has nothing to do with lifestyle choices. Drink away if they so choose, they make the choice, they suffer the consequences, not my problem. They want to be a drunk, be a drunk, they want to worthless members of society, go ahead. They want to live in the gutter, sure why not, welcome to America; people choose to lives, it is the consequences that people need to be experience without excuses being made or others being blamed, they made the choice, NOW LIVE WITH IT!
Doing drugs, being pregnant, wife, and a warrant being served, geez, another liberal making excuses for their choices and still blaming others for their shortcomings they created in their life. News Flash -- DRUGS is a choice, being a bad person is a CHOICE, getting pregnant and having baby and with allegations of drugs being involved, go figure. METRO did their job and did it well. Thank you Metro, another drain on society removed, taxpayers realized instant savings, and now maybe the baby will a chance in life and become a productive member of society.
Comment removed by moderator. Name calling.
You have a black heart, god see's your ugliness, I know for a fact if you actually believe half the crap you wrote god has some serious trial and tribulations for you, because people are people they are allowed to make there own choices and do as they please. To rush to judgment, and pass judgment on ANYONE . All your friends are jumping of the MGM, you should too, you probably dont have many. Ignorant statement, sound like is coming from a bitter Republican.. Get over it Obama is in office! No one deserves there life to be ended so abruptly, and tragic.. You insensitive coward
To trequioa & RiPtreyy
Loss of a family member is difficult regardless of the circumstances. You guys need to be with a Rev. or Priest or some professional. Is the internet all you have? Personally, I would be with family and building that inner circle to begin the grieving process. The internet will be here tomorrow.
tray0036
How did you turn a killing into a Republican/Democrat, Obama is in office get over it, issue. I'm a democrat and I find it offensive. This situation has absolutely nothing to do with the Republicans or Democrats. Stay with the facts.
Dont wish death lil sis, we are better than that. God will touch him.. But I will shoot his ignorant comments down all day
@robert2
Look my cousinn just got killed over some bs and its people on the intrenet trynaa judge him and disrespect him when they don't know anythinq about himm , imma gonna defend my cousin to the fullest because I know what type of man he wass , yess the internet will be here tomorrow and a year from but if you were in our shoesss you will be doinq the same , we want people to know the real story what really happenedd ,,, our familyy iss in pain and we want justice , his name need to be clearedd !!!
His views had to come from the right. To say that a human life is worthless, a scumbag obviously his thinking is his/she is better than the next man/person when in actuality we put our pants legs on the same way. To pass judgment on anyone, especially someone you dont know makes you look foolish. Truth be told republicans dont care for other people, there rather selfish and cruel. No one matters but them and there own=Fact. So I do have a lil validity to where the OPINION came from. If your offended your one of the same
Comment removed by moderator. Off topic.
Ohhh my goddd I wishh you people would just stop talkin about my cousinn , if you aren't familyy , the mother of his child , friends or closee to it then just STFU !!!!!
See I told you!! But I'm going to be an adult an apologize to @robert2 simply cause I dont want to offend anyone.
@its2hot are you mad no one came to visit you today? Was your oatmeal cold? awww.. Can someone go play checkers with its2hot if not he is going to be in a crabby mood all day.. Poor baby, stop drooling on the cpu and go take walk, you need some fresh air with all that hot air you blowing
What I was wondering?????What was the past of this guy?Was he a drug dealer or part of the narco trade in any way shape or form??
tray0036
"Truth be told republicans dont care for other people, there rather selfish and cruel. No one matters but them and there own=Fact."
Wow! Your statement that republicans don't care for other people is utterly ridiculous and baseless. In my opinion they are wrong on some issues very important to me, but they are not cruel. If this is how you see life, then I feel for you because you are out of balance. Extremists on the left or right are part of the fringe element of our society. Your comments put you in that company.
Lmao, apologize away; I'm surly not going to apologize for metro doing their job. I pay taxes and Metro did the job my taxes pay them to do. I just wish they'd do their job more often and stop arresting the same ones over and over and over again, there is a point in time when reasserting these people shouldn't be an option, the cost to house them and take care of them verses other options, not a hard choice from my perspective.
I seriously cannot believe what I am reading on this board. I have never seen anything like this in my years of coming to this site. From reading the above posts from the family members, I can am now getting a very clear picture of what type of people we are dealing with.
If my family member was killed, the last thing I would have time for would be to make posts on the internet. I cannot even understand the above posts because of all the misspelling, bad grammar, double "s", and overall lack of any type of intelligence.
Did any of the posts say this suspect was not dealing drugs? No, they keep repeating "he got killed over some bs". Maybe dealing drugs is B.S. to you, but it is not B.S. to me and the rest of the law abiding citizens. It is a crime. If you think it is okay, you are a criminal.
Why would you want to be the wife of someone like that? By the time I was 22, I has served five years in the Marine Corps, was a combat veteran, owned a house, had a great credit score, had a great job, and finished college. That is where you should be a 22. Not dealing drugs.
Apology was offending any1 it was not intended for, So if your offended than your not being real with your self and not paying any attention to the world around you. To be so close minded I feel for you, especially your family. @its2hot you need a major slap in the face your face. I pay taxes and its not to harm the weak and defenseless. It's to protect and serve, not hold out executions. You can defend each other all day long, but you know who you are in your heart. You know your a bad person and your selfish thinking allows you to think about anyone else other than yourself. It's sad, I really feel bad for your families! I'm far from an extremist, that's actually funny. Dont ever close your mind, you can miss some of the best lessons you will ever learn once you do that.
omq im tired of you people , I wish all of you would just STFU ,
RiPtreyy
It is your right to defend your cousin. Maybe defending him is some type of therapy for you, I don't know. Me..I would be with my family. There is no way you can answer all the posts that will generated through the upcoming weeks. Your biggest battle right now is the fact that there are no facts presented by Metro.
RIPtreyy,tray0036...I take your responses as a yes to my question on what he did for a living?
Fact #1, No drugs were found anywhere around. As for 1 we know how the media portrays everyone out to be a bad guy when it come to police being involved. If you had read my original post it gave all the details.. I'm in L.A, I'm supposed to be on set at 3, I have to pay taxes. Life is choices and not everyone life is storybook, it takes time to get there, you take baby steps, you grow in life. If we knew life at 1years old it would be no point to go on, you live and you learn we all make mistakes at some point in our life.. I dont know why im going back in forth with a bunch of "bad people", I hope our paths cross again and hopefully god would have touched you by then, I hope something tragic happens to your family, and I will be the 1st 1 there to say god dont like ugly, UGLIES..damn pink toes, cant stand them
Lmao -- drug dealing no good for nothing people. Again Metro -- Excellent job and keep up the good work, we appreciate it every time you remove another one. Take more off the streets of North Vegas; you have a few more thousand to go until that community ever wants to see signs of normalcy.
And your probably divorced now because your true colors were shown. To not show any compassion for another person life, no matter what the circumstances shows the character of the type of people we are dealing with. It's a sad day in america. I'm glad I dont live in Vegas, but I guess if I couldn't afford to live in Los Angeles, id probably crawl under a rock and move to the desert i mean Vegas.. LAtimes here I come
That explains your thread, you live in L.A California. A true liberal trying to say something intelligent or with any substance, speaking to a liberal is like speaking to a door knob, they just can't seem to understand anything, and their leaders haven't provided them any direction or told them what to say yet.
Thank you trayoo36...But you still havn't answered the question.Thank you. If you don't know the answer just say so it's ok,But as far as no drugs found at the scene well none of us were there..P.S If you could respond in correct english that would be great too...
From what I know my cousinn wass not a drug dealer and I refuse to let you people bad talk my cousin that's rest in peace , he was a good man went to college to play football ,,,, now tell me if `if` he wass a drug dealer does that give metro the right to shot and kill a man no I don't thinkk soo , but yet again theyy found nothing in the house no drugs nor guns , so what was the point in shooting him ????
It's going to be funny when the city get's sued and all you guys tax money will go to raising my niece, you will have something else to complain about.. Now I'm LMAO... No gun, No drugs, no resisting arrest just a over zealous cop, with a itchy finger.. They had no reason to take him out the living room, and physically take him to another part of the house to ask some questions. He had no weapon, no DRUGS! Why shoot? Besides I never heard of the police doing a drug raid at 9pm, it's to dangerous of a time to do so if that's what they were really doing. Most raids are conducted in the A.M hours. 95% of them are done this way
Tray...oh wow, I did not know you were there to see if they found drugs, saw him not resisting arrest, and then saw an over zealous cop shoot yoru cousin. I was under the impression you were out of state, not actually in the apartment. That changes things. Everyone needs to leave Tray alone because he saw what happened and knows his cousin did nothing wrong. He also is an expert on the way the cops in Las Vegas operate and conduct raids, so please do not argue with him. It is rare to have an expert on police tactics on this board.
Just for info though, I have never heard of anyone getting money from the Las Vegas Police. Henderson gives out money, but not the Las Vegas Police. Good luck with that.
Because they can and they did. Again good job! Nevadan's appreciated all of Nevada law enforcement agencies.
What a concept, when California cops can perform their job just as good and Nevada law enforcement agencies, California would be a nice place visit and California wouldn't not broke. Until then, California is littered with liberal free loaders that sucked their state dry. California sucks!
If you read it and commented on it, it had to be correct english right? Otherwise you would not have commented let alone understand me. You will read this post and comment again. Then I answered your question with me saying no drugs were at the scene, nor WEAPONS!!! You just wanted me to talk to you, awhh you so special.. I'll make sure I wait for you when you get off your special bus, wear your hat with the propellers on it so I know its you :)
Icare2009:
It looks like they got all the folks from the senior citizen center to comment. Gotta love the community support
Comment removed by moderator. Off topic.
Yup...
Cops don't just go around knocking on doors looking for suspects. They had to have good reason to enter. That area of town is a very high crime area that most of us wouldn't even drive through. Nobody defending the suspect wants to mention anything about his past or if he has a record. If he didn't, It would have been made clear by now. Did he have a job? Until more facts come out, I have to side with Metro on this one.
But bakersfield, didn't you see what tray wrote? His cousin was dragged into a bathroom and shot in the back with a shotgun. Tray said they did this because the cops could not find any drugs or guns in the house. Apparently, tray saw the whole thing from L.A. And now tray is going to sue the police.
Tray,
When you get off the redeye bus from LA we will all recognize you - stupidity and ignorance are fairly evident to the majority of people. You are the classic example of the uneducated spewing hate and condemnation at anyone in your path. The loss of a family member is a horrible experience, however you have chosen to use it as a means of showing your racism, hatred, and general lack of any form of intelligence.
this is the younger brother of the victims in this case. my sister was in the room when everything happened so to all you ill-informed cruel people listen up. my brother was not a drug dealer he does not have a criminal background has never been arrested for drug related charges and most importantly was not a bad person. Trey was a college football player, recently received his AA degree, and was in the process of getting into UNLV. Trey had a lot of friends and was greatly loved by most everyone he came in contact with. many different people came to visit his new apartment which he legitimately paid for by working and paying taxes like everyone else. so before you judge anyone walk a mile in their shoes. I am truly hurt by the cruelty of some people if the shoe was on the other foot some of you would want some sympathy for the fatherless baby for the distraught mother for the rattled wife to be and the grieving family, but i guess we can't expect people who haven't known the the persons life and struggle. if any of you who has ridiculed these human beings have any decency left in you you would show some sort of respect for the deceased and the heartbroken family.
my blood sister is sitting here crying her heart out because the love of her life is gone All of you are being ridiculous
dhvincent1:
No one does that type of stuff but you. We are adults and it takes a child like you to make up such a claim.. SMDH at your stupidity! I guess public school failed another one. @its2hot, lunch time over? I bet your family dont even like you, why dont you start telling us about your childhood? Like when you were molested as a child? Or the only contact anyone would want to have with you is if you were paying for company and even then they probably wanted to give you your money back in order to get away from your obscured ways and thoughts.. Stop feeding into them they just want to upset you!! I expose "these type people" every day, let me take this.. Next
Newman2:
#1 I dont do buses!! #2. When the 1st shots are fired, I fire back harder. Now on to you, the majority here there is maybe 15 people tops on this post, not really what I call a majority of people. If your views are obscured they are dont be mad your hearing the truth and dont like it, you ever heard the saying the truth hurts? So yeah your hurt, and no1 else would listen to you so you want to make a point? Got it, not a very good 1 but got it.. Tell daddy yo problems, im listening! Maybe ill take you out for ice cream later if you be a "good lil boy"..
You people are rediculouss , you have noo sympathy for our familyyy !!! Its a shame on how people could be soo rudee , but imma just put it in god hands because I believe that every last one of you guys that's disrespecting the dead he's gonna handle it , bad will come your wayyy .... I never knew human beings could be so evil to not have sympathy on a family that just lost a loved one , a loved one that was not gang related , drug related NOR gun affliated !!! Metro took my cousin life for no reason , just because they knew they could how sad is that ... you people need to just get a life man let my cousin rest in peace plz !!!
if u all want to know google the name Trevon Cole because you all are confused
Rest in Peace Trey , this hurts so bad to know how excited you were to have your 1st child . Your birthday just passed a few weeks ago and you didnt get to enjoy 21 at all . Its sad to know that you will not be here to see your baby born and its even more disgusting to know how much of a good person you were and how sick minded twisted people can just lie and try to cover up what actually went on . Im pretty sure they made all this B.S. up so it can be seen in the public eye that "they did their job" when in reality this bastards KNEW NO WEAPON was in sight . I hate that I cant say what I really want to , but you know me well & you know what im thinking ... I love you though bro and God bless your Family , were out here in Los Angeles and Inglewood devastated man its still hard to swallow but I love you and watch over me
Lol, Love it when you little ones try to use something to empower your marbles. It must be hard to look in the mirror and like what is seen, what a sad state of affairs America has turned into these days. Thank god some people understand the differences between good and evil. Metro is good, drug dealers and their ways are evil and it's a great day when good meets evil. We call, that instant justice and we the taxpayers realize instant savings.
Just go back to your dungeon and fulfill your wildest fantasies, someone will be there to help you relieve you of your misery you've brought upon yourself; his name is BMG in your terms.
Hopefully, LA cops can do their jobs just as well as Nevada cops perform their duties and take the necessary steps to relieve the undue burden drug dealers and gang bangers pose on their communities. What a concept, we' could have the streets cleaned up in no time at all.
Rotflmao
But officer, I didn't do it, they made me do it. The other person told me to be true therefore it had to be true.
And the poor little me, poor me - poor me, I grew up poor, the working class didn't give it to me so I took it from them. Had they only given me more then they wouldn't have made me do this. It wasn't my gun, colt owned it.
We've heard it all from your types, quit making excuses and accept the fact that you have nothing good to offer America and you're a drain on our Americans society. Had the liberal ways worked in the past and we realized positive results then just maybe when your flap your lips we'd believe you. Unfortunately too many lies along with all the negative results has proven to most of America that the generation who has lived on the liberal system has yielded no results and it's time for them to suffer the earned consequences of their choices. We don't care.
its2hot:
I really dont want to believe your this way. I dont understand how anyone can be so evil? SMH, but what I do know is your getting a major hard on over people actually responding to you. If you did not have 18th century views, maybe you would have a friend or too. I'll show her how to spend your tax money when the truth comes out
Now Im LMAO............ Ill be back later, work time!! Maybe ill spring for you a trip to the Museum of Tolerance!! It's never to late to learn a thing or 2.
If you're NOT a thug, just stick your hands up or lie sprawled on the floor so you're obviously no threat to the officers.
If you're a thug, I hope you get shot because most of you glorify the thug life and have no desire to try to change things when given the opportunity. You're like the cockroaches of society and should be stamped out.
I feel bad if this guy is an innocent victim, but be smart around cops!
Who cares? just because the cop says something doesn't mean it is true. When Rush Limbaugh was being investigated for doctor shopping and having his servant get pills for him, did the usual gaggle of dittoheads, say "go go cops?"
What about Ollie North and Scooter Libby? What about Ensign? I guess they are or were all guilty because the cops got a warrant?
This is why the "oath takers " should all be fired from the force. Also talk radio fans should be excluded from all jurys.
Cold thing about it is he was my family member in law and he was in his own bed and was shot unarmed. The boy was doing well and living a descent life to the best of his ability. If he was doing anything wrong it was not enough for any one to take his life. When it hits your families than you see how it feels. Bottom line he has a baby due any day now and he will never see his child. On top of it he was his moms only child. He was murdered plain and simple.
Hey mred, you forgot about the guy who didn't have a sexual affair with Monica Lewinski. Don't try to make it out like either side is honest. Being a liar is human trait, not a political one you moron.
@johnmanrules
Moron? Why is Mred a moron? Are you that much of a dimwit that you cannot decipher MrEd's simple rebuttal to the skewed criticism?
MrEd makes a valid point. These trolls spew their typical bigoted rants every time there is a similar story.
Just look at its2hot -- This numskull goes on a tantrum about cops doing what his taxes pay them to do even though this article SPECIFICALLY states that the officers were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation that the killing of this young man was justified.
Don't be so damn foolish. These trolls have an agenda, they are not engaged in a dialogue.
They are here only to spew their bigoted ideology without any regard to reason or analytical thinking.
These trolls aren't here to engage in dialogue. They are here to express their demented unsubstantiated grievances.

Lying is a human trait.
Ahh...The "furtive gesture" defense. Successful in about 98 per cent of cases. Used primarily by police when the deceased is discovered to be without a weapon, and there are too many witnesses to plant one. "He said he was going to kill me and he reached toward his waistband - I thought he was going for a weapon to make good on his threat."
Perfect defense for homeowners, also, who rightfully shoot an intruder, whether armed or not.
And, no refuted testimony at the coroner's inquest.

You are right. I don't need to see if someone is armed if they come in my house. I can slay them because they are committing a felony.
NRS 200.160 Additional cases of justifiable homicide. Homicide is also justifiable when committed:
1. In the lawful defense of the slayer, or his or her husband, wife, parent, child, brother or sister, or of any other person in his or her presence or company, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished; or
2. In the actual resistance of an attempt to commit a felony upon the slayer, in his or her presence, or upon or in a dwelling, or other place of abode in which the slayer is.
[1911 C&P 133; A 1931, 160; 1931 NCL 10080]--(NRS A 1993, 932)
We all know the rules. If the police say "let me see your hands" then there should be only one thing on your mind.
First and foremost Las Vegas has experienced another tragic incident which has culminated in the loss of a precious human life. My condolence to the families involved.We seem to forget the importance of human life and dignity. The sad truth is that everyone in this incident loses, even the thoughtless and uncompassionate who choose to act as judge and jury. As a retired police officer from a MUCH more progressive community-friendly state I can say that police everywhere SHOULD do their job effectively. The issue is not doing one's job but HOW one does one's job. The fact is that ALL United States police officers are sworn to uphold the laws of the municipality that they serve, as well as the U.S. Constitution and must answer to those that they serve. The community has the right to demand that this be done in an appropriate way. The U.S.Constitution contains the Bill of Rights. We all have rights to human dignity. The old statement that "one is innocent until proven guilty" applies to each and every one of us. I would suggest that the citizenry of this community take some time and study the above mentioned documents and meditate on the importance of them. Then I would suggest that instead of racing to judge the 'other guy' in either case, that of the young man who died tragically or the police officers doing their job, we attempt to problem-solve. Our community would benefit greatly and we would all be winners. Post Script: If you wish to comment on my spelling, grammar etc. it will not upset me, I appreciate constructive criticism because it may actually help me grow.
Neverscared..good post.
...Geeesh...
Why even make a comment on this article, obviously Metro HAD TO get a judges signature to run this warrant, number one,..
number two, I'm quite sure to EXCECUTE this warrant there had to be at least several JUST CAUSES to excecute the warrant... ie maybe more than one call to the cops for suspicious activities at that address.., so the judges can wouldn't be hanging out when it came down to LEGALITIES IN COURT, especially around ELECTION TIME...
Figure it out, some of the posts here are so distracting...especially killerbs....
Well David1961 I can tell you that even the police make mistakes. The fact is that not all information received by the police is good information. For example,the informant may not be reliable, subject of the investigation may have moved, the warrant may contain the wrong address,etc.,etc.etc. Law enforcement is more complicated than what you see on television because it involves real life situations that are not planned or scripted. As a retired police officer-turned-TV crime show critic(self-appointed), I am constantly amazed at the depictions of how our legal system works. If it were only that easy, being a cop would be like the easiest job on earth, with the crime rate down and the rate of convictions up and we would all be safe from harm. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! We should live a little, love alot, learn how to respect ourselves and others, and stop playing judge. In the real world, even judges are expected to set aside their personal beliefs and abide by the U.S.Constitution and the laws and statutes in their jurisdiction while serving. Again I must stress the frailty of human life. Post Script:Thanks MR906 I try to deal in reality impartially with love for everyone.
