"Krolicki, a Republican whose name was discussed as a possible candidate against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, has called the charges politically motivated. Reid and Masto, both Democrats, have vehemently rejected those allegations."

How could anyone think that Reid would be involved in something like this to remove one of the strongest opponents he could face next Novemeber?

Armory, I disagree with your statement about military funerals. When was the last time you saw a veteran receive honors like this? I am a veteran and can claim burial rights in a national cemetary, but I highly doubt that I will receive a procession down the Strip.

For myself, I am not upset that this officer and former jarhead (I say that with all respect being ex-Navy myself) is being honored, that is his due. What I am objecting to is how this is more of a circus parade than anything else. I would be very surprised if his family has requested or desires this. In fact, they have probably not been consulted and if they were they would say please forego most of this. But Metro feels a need to show off.

The organization that is supposed to help the families of injured and fallen officers has said they are low on funds. Metro should have the decency to have a restrained ceremony and donate the rest of what this costs to that fund for the family. THAT would be truly honoring one of their own.

This officer is certainly deserving of being honored, but this is over the top. They have opened up an account for people to help out the family, yet I would wager far more is being spent on this procession that what the family will receive. Am I missing something here?

Medical care is a basic human right? How about a job so you can pay for food and shelter? Aren't those far more basic? I doubt very much that I can quit my job and demand that the government, at any level, provide all those things for me.

Oh wait, the government demands that I, a working person, provide these things for anyone else who claims they can not be productive.

Again, a senseless accident. But judging from the description given by vesper one has to wonder just how fast the van was going. Photos of the area would be helpful, too. Is there a blind curve there?

This kind of accident is almost always preventable by BOTH parties exercising due care.

I doubt the budget has anything left in it to benefit a truly deserving officer after the million dollar funerals for the other so-called heroes who have died this year.

RIP jarhead, Semper Fi!

The bailout for mortgage companies was the WORST thing that could have happened. Thanks to that, prices are still artificially high. Banks can afford to hang on to properties and just let them trickle into the market instead of the flood and subsequent adjustment that would occur.

It does help a little that banks now have to keep the properties maintained and pay the HOA fees, but prices are not where they are supposed to be. Let the market take care of it self!

So what if people invested and lost their shirts in a bubble? That's not the taxpayer's (my) problem!

If you really want to hear Culinary squeal like a stuck pig, demand e-verify be enforced retroactively on every one of the union's members.

There is no doubt that there is much to question about Stations, but if this isn't the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is.

This story is just horrible!

Why is there a search, did the man run away? Why the lockdown, was he armed?

Come on Sun, give some facts here instead of this inflamatory nonsense. Are you trying to provoke anger and dissent towards Metro with this?

"Could it be an isolated incident?"

Is Metro a highly trained, professional organization with an exemplory public image?
