Metro Responds to Soldier beaten at McCarran Airport

The Dep. Chief of the Las Vegas Police responds to the allegations made by SGT Mark England.
LVMPD has access to witness statements made by their own officers and TSA Officers, however the public does not.

Case Status: Both Metro and England had their cases against the other dismissed
The cop who "laughed" was determined not to be involved. The TSA made no physical contact with England at any time and are not involved in any case.

Based on those statements, Deputy Chief Suey claims that Sgt. England was not calm and was yelling and screaming throughout the process. She says that the SGT used profane language as well.

Where the situation escalates is when the Metro cop asks for the SGT's boarding pass. The SGT pulls out a dollar bill.
Both Metro and the SGT agree that the SGT asked the Metro cop to pick up the dollar bill.
Where they deviate is that Deputy Chief Suey claims that the SGT was irate and angry while the SGT claims he spoke in a calm voice and was polite.

Metro claims reason the beating took place (this does not show in this video) was because the SGT backed away when the Metro cop attempted to handcuff.

In the video the Dep. Chief explains the taser was drawn because the SGT did not comply with the order to get on the floor, because after the beating, "he still wansn't complying."

The taser was shot five times, with three times hitting the SGT.

Suey ends with a highly opinionated closing. She explains seven metro officers are in Iraq. She presumes to speak for them by saying the behaviour of the SGT is not behaviour that a US soldier should be displaying. She claims that the SGT is using the Army Uniform as a soapboax.

Great Affinity apologises if this description shows bias against the SGT, however because this video is all about Metro, its description also is all about Metro.

You ever here of PTSD you fucking cock suckers

[greataff]

@MrBrandonjk They pick the side the Media told them to pick and like marionettes they puppet what the Media wants them to Believe. People never consider that some people may have Bias (this reporter especially.)

I never jumped to a conclusions, but I had the benefit of actually being there and have spoke with the ticket checkers, the TSA and the Metro Cops themselves. But even without this, a tiny poke into Ben Deci's career would show he hates the airport.

Give me a fucking break. Thus cunt is just that, a cunt. The cops should have shown PROFESSIONALISM and laughed off the demands from Sgt. England. Those cops had no RIGHT doing what they did. I really believe now most cops (80%) of them are cops because they are losers within themselves. Meaning

[greataff]

@WilliamHCarney The unlawful arrest was a bad idea, and had the soldier complied with it we wouldn't be having this conversation. However, the video shows him backing away from someone trying to cuff him. It is at this point the soldier starts losing credibility. The damn cop beats him with a stick and he still doesn't get on the ground until the tasering cop forces him there.

The Courts threw out lawsuits from both sides, and I can't agree with them more: they're all at fault

[recon24d]

hey chief are you going to give your deployed officers a complementary ass beating when they come home from overseas too? or is that only our of town service members that get the nightstick welcome home party? i sure wish scumbags would just go back to throwing dog shit at us at airports at least that doesnt break ribs

[mikecorbeil]

@greataff The cop was trying to cuff Mark England for no valid reason and he served in what, 3 war zones, for the USA. That might cause a person to hesistant about being cuffed for no valid reason. A bottle of pop soda is not just cause for arresting someone, imo. Also imo, he did nothing really wrong and I don't agree that his case against police brutality and injustice should be thrown out of court. Instead, the case surely should be thoroughly investigated.

One pop soda!

So because he did not fall to the ground after being violently struck Sgt. England was not compliant?

[BigMoInAZ]

That Dep Police Chief is so full of shit it isn't even funny! I have family members in the police force who have also served in Iraq and they would be the first to tell that dumb bitch to go fuck herself if she thinks her officers were justified in their actions! Those fat joebagofdonuts at McCarren are mouth breathers who shouldn't even be wearing a uniform much less call themselves peace officers! Would love nothing better than to tag team with Mark in a mano e mano payback of justice!

@greataff So apparently hating the airport is worthy of getting your ribs broken. Do you realize how extreme a situation has to happen for me to be able to taze someone and break his ribs without getting charged with a crime? Most likely even if someone was mugging me I couldn't get away without going to trial for what this cop did. And they say, because he swore at them and yelled at them, they can break his ribs?

[WilliamHCarney]

@greataff Fuck those cops. If I were that soilder. I'd hunt those motherfuckers down with EXTREME PREJUDICE and enforce my own law. Las Vegas Cops DO NOT exercise good judgement at all. Pretty soon, people will start getting revenge and a badge won't save no one. I know unequivocally without a doubt, if I'm not treated by the Clark County justice system. I'm going to react like my man in the movie Law Abiding Citizen. Now, my favorite movie.

@XxANZMFxSTUDIOSxX As a veteran myself I have nothing but respect for those who give up their freedom to serve in the armed forces. However I also feel that they have a duty to project a good image of those who do. Making soldiers look like powder kegs who will yell at elderly TSA agents and disobey cops does not project a good image.

However, the report did not show this, typical "unbiased" media

@greataff If you're going to beat the asses of the Military, you may as well have other members of the Military keeping everyone down.
