God Bless you Stanley Cooper. You served and protected the citizens of this community for decades. You paid the ultimate price to protect many people that day. You are a hero. Rest in peace.

Lenny_V asked what the hell is a Marshal. They have no jurisdiction. I guess you haven't lived in Nevada long. It's still the wild west here and yes Marshals do have jurisdiction. In fact, I found out that the Marshals from the Las Vegas Municipal Court, those in the article, are post certified, Catagory I Peace Officers. To bring that down to your understanding, that means they have the same authority and are the same level of training and catagory as Metro officers and can go anywhere in Nevada to find you. Hope your tickets are paid.

It's really a shame that in this country our society assumes that if you are poor and homeless you must be a criminal. If you are lucky enough to have medical coverage; lucky you. But as a nation we need to start helping others. We have a responsibility as citizens to give back to our community and help others. As a people we are getting very spoiled with the thinking that I've got mine so, you that don't go away. Very often I hear this type of service is very good, but not in my neighborhood. I don't want these people in my neighborhood. I even hear I don't want a church in my neighborhood because I don't want the traffic it brings. So, where would you have these things. As citizens we have a building that happens to be on the edge of a park. Medical care for those who have none. Do the math, you aren't talking about that many people on a daily basis. Brother, help your brother. Help your neighbor. You never know when the tables may turn and you may be next.

Gee, I didn't know that Summerlin is a City with it's own council. Don't want to be associated with Las Vegas? Reminds me back when Green Valley felt the same way about Henderson when it was known as Hooterville.

I find it interesting with the local so called press when a survey shows that something in Nevada ranks at the bottom of the list, it's terrible and should be fixed and government doesn't know what it is doing. When a survey shows something in Nevada ranks at the top of a list (rare) or near to it, it's terrible and government employees are to blame. If the survey shows something in Nevada ranks in the middle, certainly improvement is necessary because government employees certainly are lazy. Private sector is the answer to everything in the eyes of the local press. Right now I don't think the private sector has anything to be proud of given the current mess. Government employees in Nevada are awesome. We do it better with fewer workers. What is it that says Nevada public employee pay and benefits are too high and should be cut. Compared to the private sector? I think that the press, the Chamber and private sector business should look to the low pay and substandard benefits they provide the private secotr employee rather than drag down those public employees who are fairly paid and compensated (teachers being the exception). Maybe the two local papers could even look at improving their own business compared to other papers in this country.
