Return to “CHL holder killed by police in Las Vegas at a Costco”
But in this case they were judge and jury over their own actions:03Lightningrocks wrote:Something is seriously wrong when our police departments think they are the ultimate power.
...a Henderson police sergeant involved in the traffic stop was disciplined but remains employed by the department....

The freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are so important that no country could be considered free without them.
Today in a unexpected move. Costco's lawyers tried to ban peaceful protest and picketing on public property in front of one of its stores (you guess which one). A motion was brought before a Las Vegas judge to do just that. The motion also named one hundred people by name who were to be specifically banned. The list was not made public but was thought to be made up of facebook friends of Erik Scott's memorial page.
The judge rejected Costco's motion outright (even though again it was a one sided argument again, maybe they were feeling cocky after their apparent victory this week and thought all judges would just lay down)
So I applaud this judge in Las Vegas.
And begin to wonder about the sanity of the executive management at Costco. This sort of path, where you try and silence the American public from free expression, will eventually back fire in a big way.
God bless America
