Seeking Costco Surveillance Video of Erik Scott Shooting

We've confirmed that the so-called "missing" Costco security-system video of my son's fatal shooting in 2010 has been seen by numerous Las Vegas police officers, and definitely exists at Costco's headquarters. 

This new Facebook page gives honest, conscientious employees an avenue to get a copy of that video data to me. Please help spread the word about this critical portal. Thanks!

LAW ENFORCEMENT IS FIFTY YEARS BEHIND AVIATION

Throughout 2014, American police officers have killed an average of three people every day. Bloody Blue Badges have taken the lives of 1,051 citizens this year...so far. Since 9/11, cops have killed more than twice as many people as al Qaeda murdered on that modern day of infamy.

If the aviation industry—airlines, military, business flying and general aviation combined—racked up more than 1,000 fatalities every year, no intelligent human being would ever climb aboard an airplane. So, why haven't federal, state and local elected officials taken aggressive steps to curtail police killings? By borrowing a few proven processes from aviation, courageous politicians could bring law enforcement into the 21st Century. Here's how:

FERGUSON II: Cops Killed Credibility

RESTORE HONOR Series

The 5th commentary in a "Restore Honor" series is now available at:

Police Unions' Arrogance Breeds Violence

It exposes how St. Louis-area police unions' single-minded campaign to exonerate Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Michael Brown in August, could fuel another round of deadly violence in Ferguson, Missouri.

Federal, state and local officials are gravely concerned that a new outbreak of violence could spread to other cities that also have suffered from egregious shootings by killer-cops. If that happens, arrogant police union leaders must share responsibility for any deaths and destruction of property.
