An Iraqi War veteran says Metro officers beat him at McCarran International Airport. Action News has video of the alleged beating two months ago. National guard Sergeant Mark England says the officers beat him with a nightstick and shot him with a taser after an argument with TSA agents at the airport. The Metro officers involved are still working and Metro says based on the video Action News showed them they believe the officer didn't do anything wrong.

Status of Case as of 13 SEP 2007

Both LVMPD Officers are still working active , armed duty at the airport, neither faced direct criminal, civil or administrative action.
The third Metro Officer laughing in the second video is listed as a witness since he did not get himself involved. Sadly it's legal to have a cruel line of mentality.

Neither Metro nor SGT England have successfully been able to bring a lawsuit against the other.

*LVMPD found itself "exonerated"
*The Clark County Citizen's Review board found in favour of Metro.
*Attorney Cal Potter is representing Sgt. Mark England in the lawsuit against Metro
The LVMPD Officer named as the cause are Jennings and Clark who beat and tased the Sgt. respectively.
*The District Attorney's Office says that LVMPD does not have enough evidence to pursue charges of violation of airport rules (more specifically: interference with security procedures) and resisting arrest.
*OCT 13 Exclusive information obtained - Cal Potter is no longer the attorney for Mark England
