00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,999 to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department 4 00:00:21,999 --> 00:00:26,160 for the first time after Stephen Paddock opened fire 5 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,480 on a large crowd of Vegas concertgoers... 6 00:00:29,999 --> 00:00:34,640 ...killing 58 people and wounding over 500. 7 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,200 In the days following the deadliest mass shooting 8 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,120 in U.S. history, 9 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,999 a sympathetic public looking for light in the darkness 10 00:00:43,999 --> 00:00:46,720 latched on to stories of heroism 11 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,680 from that tragic night. 12 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,000 Many saw LVMPD Sheriff Joe Lombardo 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,999 as a heroic figure. 14 00:00:52,999 --> 00:00:55,202 I wanna thank you for letting me be your sheriff, 15 00:00:55,436 --> 00:00:56,600 and Vegas Strong. 16 00:00:56,663 --> 00:00:59,760 (Ramsey) Sheriff Lombardo even had President Trump 17 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,600 kissing up to him 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,360 and celebrating LVMPD officers as heroes. 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,880 And then...things changed. 20 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,880 Sheriff Lombardo was caught lying 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,760 about Stephen Paddock's check-in dates. 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,427 (reporter) Was the official timeline changed-- 23 00:01:12,468 --> 00:01:14,091 Please stop asking your question. 24 00:01:14,132 --> 00:01:16,044 (Ramsey) After the sheriff changed the timeline 25 00:01:16,085 --> 00:01:17,044 for a third time, 26 00:01:17,085 --> 00:01:20,200 the LVMPD was sued by seven media companies 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,680 for failing to release public records 28 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,160 from the night of the shooting, 29 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:25,040 leaving some to wonder 30 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,240 if the sheriff was manipulating the facts 31 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,240 to minimize Mandalay Bay's legal liability 32 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,960 since their parent company, MGM, 33 00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:33,840 had given a lot of money 34 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,999 to Lombardo's reelection campaign. 35 00:01:35,999 --> 00:01:37,120 And when a reporter broke the news 36 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,520 that the LVMPD appeared to be trying to hide the fact 37 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,480 that an officer fired a gun in Stephen Paddock's room, 38 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,400 many were surprised. 39 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,320 I wasn't. 40 00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:49,240 I had a history with the LVMPD 41 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,480 and knew what this department was capable of. 42 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:53,999 My name is Ramsey Denison 43 00:01:53,999 --> 00:01:55,999 and I've spent most of my career 44 00:01:55,999 --> 00:01:57,800 editing television shows 45 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,200 about good cops 46 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,040 who catch bad criminals. 47 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,999 (music) 48 00:02:02,999 --> 00:02:05,520 Until my encounter with the LVMPD 49 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,200 I'd never seen police as anything but the good guys. 50 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:16,120 (music) 51 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,520 I just finished editing a really difficult television show, 52 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,120 so I made the four hour trip to Vegas to relax 53 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,480 and hang out with my friend Rhett. 54 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,960 (music) 55 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,880 He'd had a pretty crappy day... 56 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,680 (music) 57 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,560 ...so I took him out, cheered him up. 58 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,520 We had fun. 59 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,400 (distant siren) 60 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,960 Around 4 AM, we called it a night and left the club. 61 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,200 (Rhett) As we were walking through the parking lot, 62 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,999 there was a suspect in handcuffs, 63 00:02:47,999 --> 00:02:50,999 and the officer was screaming at him about his mother. 64 00:02:50,999 --> 00:02:52,640 "Did you know your mama raised an f-up? 65 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:54,320 Did you know your mama raised an f-up?" 66 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,280 I'm lookin' at Rhett, he's lookin' at me, 67 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,880 his mouth open just kinda wonderin' 68 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,640 what in the hell these police officers are doing. 69 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:05,480 I leaned over to Ramsey and I said, "Man, look, 70 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,560 all my years on the SWAT team, I never saw anything like this. 71 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,999 I don't understand what's going on here." 72 00:03:10,999 --> 00:03:12,440 I worked with the Las Vegas SWAT team 73 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,999 for seven years as a videographer, 74 00:03:13,999 --> 00:03:17,680 and I saw a lot of situations where people were arrested, 75 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,480 and I never saw a situation like this 76 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,840 where officers acted so unprofessional. 77 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,999 They had this guy bent over with the handcuffs, 78 00:03:24,999 --> 00:03:26,960 and they were squeezin' his handcuffs tighter, 79 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,999 and I could tell it was just to give this guy pain. 80 00:03:29,999 --> 00:03:31,760 (music) 81 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,960 (Ramsey) I saw four cops laughing at this guy 82 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,240 as he's screaming his head off being tortured. 83 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,200 (music) 84 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,680 I didn't know who this guy was, 85 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,831 I didn't know what he'd done to get arrested, 86 00:03:42,872 --> 00:03:44,080 but I knew there's nothin' right 87 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,920 about what the police were doing to him. 88 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,400 (music) 89 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,999 You could see that they were enjoying it. 90 00:03:50,999 --> 00:03:53,999 (music) 91 00:03:53,999 --> 00:03:55,520 (Rhett) I saw Ramsey pull out his phone, 92 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,999 he was pacing pretty fast back and forth 93 00:03:57,999 --> 00:03:59,920 'cause he didn't like what he saw, 94 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,280 and, uh, he called 9-1-1. 95 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,840 (music) 96 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:04,999 (operator) 9-1-1 emergency. 97 00:04:04,999 --> 00:04:07,360 (Ramsey) I want to report improper conduct 98 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,840 by a police officer. 99 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,999 (operator) Is it happening right now? 100 00:04:09,999 --> 00:04:12,040 (Ramsey) It's happening right now. 101 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,640 (operator) Okay, what is your name? 102 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,280 (Ramsey) My name is Ramsey Denison. 103 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,676 (operator) I will let the dispatcher know 104 00:04:16,717 --> 00:04:18,320 and have him make contact with you, okay? 105 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,080 -Okay. -All right, thank you. 106 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,200 Next thing you know, 107 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,440 I'm getting beaten, arrested, 108 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,999 and thrown in jail. 109 00:04:25,999 --> 00:04:31,000 (music) 110 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,800 (Rhett) And what's so disturbing to me 111 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,640 is here you have somebody 112 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,200 who's really just trying to do a good thing 113 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,480 going to jail for three days. 114 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:39,400 (music) 115 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,440 (Ramsey) After I was released from 116 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,160 the Clark County Detention Center, 117 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,440 I started to investigate. 118 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,480 In a town where you can get beaten, arrested, 119 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,160 and thrown in jail just for making a phone call 120 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,520 to report police brutality, 121 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,840 I couldn't help but wonder what else 122 00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:00,240 has the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department done? 123 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:08,240 (music) 124 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,960 (Philip) Trevon was a big teddy bear. 125 00:05:46,001 --> 00:05:50,348 He had, like, a smile ear to ear all the time. 126 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,160 Cared about his friends, cared about his family. 127 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,999 The store that we worked at was family. 128 00:05:55,999 --> 00:05:57,999 (Josh) He even would pull me in 129 00:05:57,999 --> 00:05:58,999 for the big bear hug 130 00:05:58,999 --> 00:06:01,280 either to start the day or before he left for the day, 131 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:03,680 or even if he saw I was having a rough day, 132 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,200 it was "Come here and give me the big hug," 133 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,680 and he wouldn't let me go until I had a smile on my face, 134 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,360 so that's just-- it's kind of who he was. 135 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,760 (music) 136 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,440 He was in love and excited to have a baby, 137 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,640 you know, like, that was apparent. 138 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,999 The whole staff knew that he was gonna have a kid, 139 00:06:18,999 --> 00:06:21,040 and we were all very excited for him. 140 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,840 Had an extra glow, and it seemed like 141 00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:24,680 it just added a little bit more purpose to why 142 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,840 he was makin' money and doin' what he did. 143 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:28,760 (Josh) I'd say probably about 144 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:29,800 six months into the pregnancy, 145 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,800 he really started to get focused on what he needed to do 146 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,480 to be able to provide for them. 147 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,800 He was usually a top ten in the store. 148 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:37,680 We had about 80 employees, 149 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,999 so he was always one of the top sellers. 150 00:06:39,999 --> 00:06:41,720 For Trey, you know, for a top performer, 151 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,999 they get 25 hours a week at nine dollars an hour. 152 00:06:44,999 --> 00:06:47,960 That's not a lot of money when you got a girlfriend at home 153 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,999 and a baby on the way. 154 00:06:49,999 --> 00:06:53,280 I think the desire to get out of where he was 155 00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:58,000 and to provide a safe and stable life for Sequoia and the baby 156 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,040 was the only reason he was selling marijuana. 157 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,999 (Andre) Officer Bryan Yant 158 00:07:04,999 --> 00:07:06,160 was searching Craigslist 159 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,999 for people selling drugs, 160 00:07:07,999 --> 00:07:10,480 and he found Trevon Cole. 161 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,999 They set up a buy with Trevon Cole 162 00:07:12,999 --> 00:07:13,999 where he sold the police 163 00:07:13,999 --> 00:07:16,400 a very small amount of marijuana. 164 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,160 That was all on tape. 165 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800 Instead of arresting him, 166 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,520 the decision was made to raid his apartment... 167 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,560 because the raid was gonna be televised. 168 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,999 The arrest could have been made with one, 169 00:07:30,999 --> 00:07:33,080 two, three, even four people 170 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,999 if you want to go on the maximum end. 171 00:07:34,999 --> 00:07:37,999 Here, this arrest involved ten people 172 00:07:37,999 --> 00:07:42,999 in body armor type suits going in with AR-15s. 173 00:07:42,999 --> 00:07:45,680 The police officers went inside 174 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,280 directly to the bedroom. 175 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,040 Trevon Cole was in his bathroom 176 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,080 dumping a bag of marijuana 177 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,520 when Bryan Yant kicked open the door 178 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,960 and shot him with an AR-15 in the head. 179 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,999 (music) 180 00:08:03,999 --> 00:08:07,960 Bryan Yant said the reason that he shot Trevon Cole 181 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,880 was because a "furtive movement" was made. 182 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,160 And what is a "furtive movement"? 183 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,120 It's a very vague term, isn't it? 184 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,360 And that's why they use it. 185 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,999 A furtive movement means a movement made 186 00:08:20,999 --> 00:08:25,840 that's gonna somehow endanger the police officer's life, 187 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,000 and clearly Trevon Cole's act 188 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,120 of looking up while dumping marijuana 189 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,720 did not meet the definition of a furtive movement. 190 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,999 There really is no accountability. 191 00:08:34,999 --> 00:08:37,960 They get to go on a paid vacation, you know, 192 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,640 for shooting somebody that didn't have a weapon, 193 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,999 and as long as they feared for their lives, it's okay. 194 00:08:44,999 --> 00:08:46,360 (Andre) At the time of the shooting, 195 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:47,960 Trevon Cole was living 196 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,720 with his high school sweetheart and fiancée Sequoia Pearce. 197 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,280 She was also nine months pregnant. 198 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,560 She was due to have their baby in just a few days. 199 00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:59,400 In fact, the shooting occurred on June 10th, 200 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,960 and on June 16th, she had her baby. 201 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,280 (music) 202 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,999 The shooting deprived Trevon's newborn baby 203 00:09:08,999 --> 00:09:10,600 of her dad for the rest of her life. 204 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,080 It deprived his high school sweetheart, 205 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,999 partner of a husband for the rest of her life. 206 00:09:16,999 --> 00:09:19,560 It deprived their entire family 207 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,520 of somebody who was widely acknowledged 208 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,999 to be an all-around great guy, big teddy bear. 209 00:09:26,999 --> 00:09:31,920 (music) 210 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,360 He made a mistake, 211 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,360 he sold marijuana, 212 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,680 and paid for that mistake with his life. 213 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:42,616 (music) 214 00:09:43,772 --> 00:09:46,506 And I knew that he was a good person. 215 00:09:47,022 --> 00:09:49,023 And I know where he is, 216 00:09:49,506 --> 00:09:51,159 and I'm okay with that now 217 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,360 because I know he's in a safe place. 218 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,999 (music) 219 00:09:55,999 --> 00:09:59,040 And I just want to thank God for the 21 years 220 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,320 that He allowed me to spend with such a beautiful person. 221 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,999 (music) 222 00:10:04,999 --> 00:10:07,960 Until we meet again, sweetheart, I love you. 223 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:08,999 (Andre) A short time after 224 00:10:08,999 --> 00:10:10,999 the shooting of Trevon Cole, 225 00:10:10,999 --> 00:10:12,999 Sequoia Pearce moved in with her mom. 226 00:10:12,999 --> 00:10:16,360 Sequoia Pearce needed the comfort of her family 227 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,280 after this very traumatic event. 228 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,640 She didn't expect the police officers to come over 229 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,480 and search her apartment without a warrant. 230 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,800 I think they were trying to find anything and everything 231 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,840 that would somehow vilify Trevon Cole, 232 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,920 somehow make him look bad. 233 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,400 The first thing Metro did was start 234 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,080 the--the character assassination of Trey. 235 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,480 That's the first thing they did. 236 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:41,480 "Oh, he's a drug dealer, 237 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,384 he's a hardened criminal." 238 00:10:42,425 --> 00:10:44,720 He didn't have a lengthy criminal record. 239 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,760 He was a guy trying to make a few extra bucks 240 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,040 'cause he had a kid on the way. 241 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,600 (Andre) If the public believes 242 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,240 that a decent human being 243 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,080 was killed for the wrong reason, 244 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,200 the public's gonna be outraged, 245 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,520 so as a result, what the police do 246 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,560 is they try to dehumanize the victims, 247 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,560 essentially saying, "Well, maybe they deserved it. 248 00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:05,560 Maybe he should have been killed 249 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:07,840 because he was dealing marijuana." 250 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,040 (Josh) The idea of raiding 251 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,999 the guy's apartment 252 00:11:09,999 --> 00:11:10,999 in the middle of the night 253 00:11:10,999 --> 00:11:12,640 over less than an ounce 254 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,200 of marijuana, of a plant, 255 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,200 it's absolutely crazy to me 256 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,999 that he died for nothing. 257 00:11:17,999 --> 00:11:20,040 The whole Trevon Cole investigation 258 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,520 was basically planned 259 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,480 with the idea that it would be televised. 260 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,240 That's why the buy with the small amount of marijuana 261 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,999 was televised inside the car, 262 00:11:29,999 --> 00:11:31,960 and that's why they planned the raid 263 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,999 with the idea that television cameras would be there. 264 00:11:34,999 --> 00:11:38,920 This raid was a made-for-TV raid. 265 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,640 Langley Productions and John Langley 266 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,999 separately made $10,000 donations 267 00:11:44,999 --> 00:11:49,880 to the reelection campaign of Sheriff Doug Gillespie. 268 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,920 At the same time, Langley Productions 269 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,760 was granted authority to film various police activities 270 00:11:56,810 --> 00:11:59,091 by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. 271 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,185 They got lucky enough to actually film somebody 272 00:12:02,226 --> 00:12:03,669 sell some marijuana-- 273 00:12:03,747 --> 00:12:06,440 just a small amount, but they got it on film, 274 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,880 so now all they needed to do was wrap that segment up 275 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,680 and they could make really good TV 276 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:12,960 with a dramatic bust. 277 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,960 See, in reality, they could have got him 278 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:15,999 just walking into 7-Eleven, 279 00:12:15,999 --> 00:12:17,920 but that wouldn't make very good TV. 280 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,840 Instead what they did is they waited, 281 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,480 um, they waited till they could get a search warrant 282 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,800 for Trevon Cole. 283 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,440 The problem is, Trevon Cole, 284 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,840 his crimes weren't worthy 285 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,880 of a no-knock, high risk search warrant 286 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,400 late at night when everybody's sleeping, 287 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,999 busting down the door. 288 00:12:33,999 --> 00:12:35,999 (Andre) When they drafted the search warrant, 289 00:12:35,999 --> 00:12:37,480 they took a different Trevon Cole 290 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,040 with a different physical description, 291 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,040 a different age, 292 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,400 and a different criminal history 293 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,120 and inserted it in place of this Trevon Cole 294 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,360 that they were dealing with, 295 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,400 and based on the information that they used 296 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,200 from the other Trevon Cole, 297 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,415 got a search warrant. 298 00:12:52,830 --> 00:12:54,110 (Doug) We made mistakes, 299 00:12:54,337 --> 00:12:56,603 uh, that led up to that search warrant 300 00:12:56,644 --> 00:12:59,284 and the execution of that search warrant. 301 00:12:59,337 --> 00:13:00,457 (dark music) 302 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,960 (Rhett) He was actually a hundred pounds different, 303 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,160 not even the same height. 304 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,680 Different age completely. 305 00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:07,999 It wasn't the same Trevon Cole, 306 00:13:07,999 --> 00:13:09,960 and they knew this, they knew it very well, 307 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,560 but they went to the judge with a search warrant 308 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:14,800 for Trevon Cole, 309 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,200 and now they had their excuse 310 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,760 to do a high risk, no-knock search warrant 311 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,240 where they could make some great TV. 312 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,999 The raid was planned with the idea 313 00:13:23,999 --> 00:13:26,560 that television cameras would be there. 314 00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:27,800 At the very last minute, 315 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,640 another incident happened across town 316 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,240 where cameras went somewhere else, 317 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,360 but Metro still went forward with the raid. 318 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,120 (Stephen) So this officer, Bryan Yant, 319 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,400 this wasn't his first shooting on duty. 320 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,000 Wasn't even his second shooting on duty. 321 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,999 It was his third shooting on duty. 322 00:13:45,999 --> 00:13:47,999 (music) 323 00:13:47,999 --> 00:13:49,080 (Andre) One of the other shootings 324 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,240 that Bryan Yant was involved in 325 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,960 was a shooting involving Richard Travis Brown, 326 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,200 who was known as the "Candy Bar Robber." 327 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,200 Bryan Yant came upon a scene 328 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,160 where Richard Travis Brown was shoplifting, 329 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,080 chased him, and shot him in the back and killed him. 330 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,600 (music) 331 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,999 Bryan Yant still rakes in six figures, 332 00:14:09,999 --> 00:14:15,000 over a hundred thousand dollars a year from taxpayers 333 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,040 in law enforcement 334 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,960 while Bryan Yant cost the city of Las Vegas 335 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,520 $1.7 million. 336 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,720 That was the payout to the family of Trevon Cole. 337 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,600 They lied to even justify being there in the way that they were. 338 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,480 It's as clear as murder gets in my opinion. 339 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,640 (Stephen) Bryan Yant is the perfect example 340 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,080 of an officer that was not properly disciplined. 341 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,800 He should have been fired. 342 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,999 (somber music) 343 00:14:42,999 --> 00:14:44,600 (music) 344 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,999 Unfortunately, Bryan Yant now works for the Police Union. 345 00:14:48,999 --> 00:14:52,360 One of his jobs is to counsel police officers 346 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,400 on how to properly handle police shootings. 347 00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,240 It's like a giant middle finger to everybody good and decent 348 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,320 in the Las Vegas Valley. 349 00:15:02,585 --> 00:15:03,897 (Norm) The reason, in my opinion, 350 00:15:03,938 --> 00:15:05,977 that police officers are not prosecuted 351 00:15:06,202 --> 00:15:09,936 is because the investigation is not completely objective. 352 00:15:10,038 --> 00:15:12,240 Oftentimes the victim is vilified, 353 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,680 the dead person is-- his criminal history 354 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,440 is released to the media. 355 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,040 (music) 356 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,999 (Bill) And then they assassinate the character of the victim. 357 00:15:21,999 --> 00:15:25,480 That's a very effective psychology 358 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,280 used all over the United States, 359 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,200 and Metro has perfected it. 360 00:15:29,999 --> 00:15:30,920 After you kill somebody, 361 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,280 you find some way to disparage them. 362 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,280 You wipe out their character. 363 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,040 So my son was killed twice. 364 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,880 He was murdered by William Mosher's bullet, 365 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,800 and then his character was assassinated 366 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:46,720 in front of everybody. 367 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,640 They tried to turn him into some kind of a druggie. 368 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,160 Erik was a West Point graduate, class of '94. 369 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,999 He graduated in the top quarter of his class. 370 00:15:56,999 --> 00:16:00,999 He was a very effective, very popular platoon leader. 371 00:16:00,999 --> 00:16:04,800 A lot of laughing happened when Erik was around. 372 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,960 (dark music) 373 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,960 (music) 374 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,760 He and his girlfriend went into Costco 375 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,680 while they were in Las Vegas, 376 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,760 and Erik was legally carrying a firearm, 377 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,999 and he did that because his job often required 378 00:16:20,999 --> 00:16:24,999 quickly going into any area of Las Vegas, day or night, 379 00:16:24,999 --> 00:16:26,880 some good areas and not-so-good areas. 380 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,440 Been in there roughly an hour when somebody spotted the gun 381 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,880 when Erik squatted to see if three water bottles 382 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,960 would fit into a soft-sided cooler. 383 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:40,790 So Erik said that he was a legally licensed weapon carrier. 384 00:16:41,134 --> 00:16:42,999 (Shai) We just told him that our policy is 385 00:16:42,999 --> 00:16:44,999 we cannot allow firearms in the building. 386 00:16:44,999 --> 00:16:47,080 (Bill) So this undercover security guy, 387 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,600 Shai Lierley, called the cops. 388 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,446 He made it sound like Erik Scott was crazy. 389 00:16:52,744 --> 00:16:54,904 Dramatized the whole thing. 390 00:16:55,298 --> 00:16:56,851 (Bill) The cops that arrived 391 00:16:56,892 --> 00:17:00,798 at one time thought they had a crazy guy barricaded inside 392 00:17:00,839 --> 00:17:02,557 waving three guns around. 393 00:17:02,795 --> 00:17:05,384 Las Vegas Metro rolled in in force, 394 00:17:05,425 --> 00:17:09,465 15 cruisers, helicopter, command staff. 395 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,200 (William) The decision was made to evacuate the business. 396 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,480 -Who makes that decision? -Uh, that decision is made 397 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,920 by both the business and by the watch commander 398 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:18,960 at that particular time. 399 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,200 So Erik and his girlfriend 400 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,160 calmly walked out with the crowd. 401 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,840 (lawyer) Was Erik posing any threat 402 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,760 to you or anyone in Costco 403 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,440 walking out of the store? 404 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,200 -No, sir. -And then Shai Lierley, 405 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,200 who was on a cell phone talkin' to dispatch, 406 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,680 pointed to Erik and said, "That's him." 407 00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:36,445 (William) I told the suspect to show your hands, 408 00:17:36,445 --> 00:17:38,320 to get down on the ground, get down on the ground. 409 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,480 Before he could do anything, Mosher fired. 410 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,200 (somber music) 411 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,120 (music) 412 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,999 Mosher did exactly the wrong thing. 413 00:17:47,999 --> 00:17:50,000 Police policies and procedures 414 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,040 would never okay challenging a "suspect"-- 415 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,680 Erik was not suspected of anything-- 416 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,963 in the midst of a crowd of maybe a hundred people 417 00:18:01,004 --> 00:18:02,519 that were milling around there, 418 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,486 and then start firing in the middle of that crowd. 419 00:18:05,527 --> 00:18:07,627 But what I heard was the officer saying, 420 00:18:07,668 --> 00:18:10,072 "Drop it," bam, bam, bam. 421 00:18:10,389 --> 00:18:11,705 It was immediate. 422 00:18:11,811 --> 00:18:13,811 There was not a one-second interval 423 00:18:13,852 --> 00:18:16,291 between "drop it" and the three shots 424 00:18:16,332 --> 00:18:18,495 that were fired directly into Scott. 425 00:18:18,706 --> 00:18:22,448 He was stumbling backwards with his hands up... 426 00:18:23,199 --> 00:18:24,565 (music) 427 00:18:25,077 --> 00:18:26,478 ...empty. 428 00:18:26,571 --> 00:18:28,251 (music) 429 00:18:28,495 --> 00:18:30,227 His hands were empty 430 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,440 before the other officers began shooting. 431 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,800 (Bill) As he fell, two other cops 432 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,200 put five more rounds in Erik's back 433 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,040 after he was on the ground and dying. 434 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,960 (music) 435 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,999 Many witnesses say after the shooting, 436 00:18:45,999 --> 00:18:47,999 only one thing on the ground: 437 00:18:47,999 --> 00:18:49,040 the Blackberry. 438 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,680 Erik never touched his gun, 439 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,200 but when Erik's body went into the ambulance, 440 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,999 the only gun that he carried was still in his holster. 441 00:18:55,999 --> 00:18:57,560 Witnesses saw it, we know that. 442 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,240 But in order for the narrative to work, 443 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,240 which is Erik pulled a gun and we had to shoot him, 444 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,440 I believe that they took that gun out of the ambulance 445 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,680 and put it back on the ground 446 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,520 before the homicide detectives got there. 447 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,640 (music) 448 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,080 So when they got there and take pictures and everything, 449 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,999 the gun was on the ground right next to the Blackberry. 450 00:19:18,999 --> 00:19:20,200 But one problem: 451 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,520 The AMR ambulance people, in their report, said, 452 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,080 "Found gun on the body." 453 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,800 (dark music) 454 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,640 So all of a sudden, Las Vegas Metro had a problem. 455 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,400 How can you have a gun on the ground at Costco 456 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,999 as supposed proof that Erik had drawn it 457 00:19:38,999 --> 00:19:40,880 and justified Mosher killing him, 458 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,999 and yet the EMTs found a gun on the body in the ambulance? 459 00:19:45,999 --> 00:19:47,999 But Erik only had one gun. 460 00:19:47,999 --> 00:19:49,000 He never carried two. 461 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,200 We gotta have a second gun. 462 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,520 (music) 463 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,440 They had Erik's wallet. 464 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,360 They saw in the wallet that he had several guns, 465 00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:58,920 so that's why they enlisted the aid 466 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,186 of the Public Administrator. 467 00:20:00,227 --> 00:20:01,061 Why? 468 00:20:01,155 --> 00:20:02,880 Because they had no grounds 469 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,360 to go get a warrant from a judge, 470 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,600 so they had to break into his condo. 471 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,840 They called my son Kevin three times. 472 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,840 (Steve) Yeah, Kevin, this is Steve Grodin 473 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,680 from the Public Administrator's office 474 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,280 up here in Nevada. 475 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,840 I spoke with you a little earlier 476 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,240 when the coroner's investigator, uh, spoke with you. 477 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Uh, I need to get in touch with you right away 478 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,000 regarding your brother's property. 479 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,320 (Bill) They used the ploy, quasi-legal, 480 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,040 of the Public Administrator that says 481 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,280 when somebody has been killed 482 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,160 and there's nobody to protect the place-- 483 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,480 which was wrong right away, 484 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,520 because the girlfriend was living with him, she was there. 485 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,560 Kevin, my other son, had already told 'em 486 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,999 that you are not allowed to go in that condo, 487 00:20:44,999 --> 00:20:46,999 but they did anyway. They broke in. 488 00:20:46,999 --> 00:20:49,960 (Steve) Uh, I've contacted a locksmith because we have no key 489 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,000 to get into your brother's apartment at this time 490 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,800 so I can go in there and secure what weapons 491 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,200 and variables that are still in the apartment. 492 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,999 (Bill) The little Ruger, little Ruger LCP, 493 00:21:00,999 --> 00:21:02,999 that became the so-called second gun-- 494 00:21:02,999 --> 00:21:05,360 it's very small, about palm size-- 495 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:09,960 they claimed that he had it in his front right pocket. 496 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,920 He didn't, he couldn't, 497 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,520 because that big wallet was in there. 498 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,999 There's no way he could have it in there. 499 00:21:14,999 --> 00:21:17,400 But that's the only way the narrative played, 500 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,600 and that was their cover for having one on the ground, 501 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,999 as if Erik had pulled it. 502 00:21:24,999 --> 00:21:25,840 (music) 503 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,400 Costco has cameras everywhere. 504 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,160 They feed several DVRs that record everything 505 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,840 that happens in the store, outside the store. 506 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,440 I believe the video would have shown 507 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,760 that Erik was literally murdered 508 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,200 for absolutely no reason. 509 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,999 Would have been lots of liability for Costco, 510 00:21:41,999 --> 00:21:45,320 tons of liability for Las Vegas Metro. 511 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,240 That had to disappear, and it did. 512 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,400 Doug Gillespie was in the middle 513 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,000 of a very tight sheriff's reelection race at the time. 514 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,999 There had been several other shootings just before that-- 515 00:21:55,999 --> 00:21:57,480 the Trevon Cole shooting 516 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,440 roughly three weeks before Erik was killed. 517 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,680 And that was very controversial too. 518 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,999 Another cop did a very, very stupid thing 519 00:22:05,999 --> 00:22:08,440 and killed a young man for no reason. 520 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,800 Well, Gillespie was under fire from that 521 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,920 and other shootings. 522 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,400 He didn't need this one too. 523 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,280 The Erik Scott case was going to be the one 524 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,440 that put him underwater. 525 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,760 His numbers, his poll numbers 526 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,440 were going in the tank at the time. 527 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,720 They could not afford to have cops murdering people 528 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,160 in front of Costco at high noon, basically. 529 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,120 So for the narrative to work, 530 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,080 Erik had to pull this gun. 531 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,999 Well, let's check the video, see exactly what happened. 532 00:22:36,999 --> 00:22:40,760 Well, amazingly, that DVR eventually wound up 533 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,280 in Los Angeles at the Secret Service facility. 534 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,120 Their forensics experts went through it 535 00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:50,360 and claimed that they could recover 96% of the data 536 00:22:50,360 --> 00:22:52,000 that was on that hard disk. 537 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,800 Only 4% were considered unrecoverable 538 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,920 due to physical damage to the platters 539 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,480 in that hard disk. 540 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,080 Just happened to be the 4% covered the time 541 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,640 that Erik was in Costco and being killed outside. 542 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,000 (music) 543 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,200 We have four cops within Las Vegas Metro 544 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,560 that have said that they or somebody they talked to 545 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:21,999 in the first person saw the video of Erik being shot. 546 00:23:21,999 --> 00:23:24,920 (Stephen) They shot him when he was standing, 547 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,080 they shot him when he was on his knees, 548 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,800 and they shot him even when he was on the ground. 549 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,840 Since then, one of those cops was caught selling a weapon 550 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,800 to a felon 551 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,760 and is no longer with the LVMPD. 552 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:38,880 (Bill) Probably the toughest thing 553 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,999 to deal with is the injustice. 554 00:23:40,999 --> 00:23:42,999 Two of the officers that killed Erik 555 00:23:42,999 --> 00:23:44,240 were honored by the Police Union 556 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,520 for their role in the Costco shooting, 557 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,999 and Police Union director Chris Collins 558 00:23:48,999 --> 00:23:50,358 called their actions "heroic." 559 00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:52,919 The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department 560 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,725 has a lot of experience in killing Las Vegas citizens 561 00:23:56,766 --> 00:23:57,606 and tourists. 562 00:23:57,694 --> 00:23:59,360 When they kill somebody, 563 00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:02,116 they need to make it look as good as they can 564 00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:03,988 when they can do that. 565 00:24:04,439 --> 00:24:07,319 And one of their most common customs, 566 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:08,680 practices, and procedures 567 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:10,905 is to make the victim who is now dead 568 00:24:11,261 --> 00:24:13,882 look as bad as they can to the public 569 00:24:13,991 --> 00:24:15,711 to justify their actions. 570 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,100 They tried to make him out to look like a druggie, 571 00:24:19,141 --> 00:24:21,733 uh, when he was basically at Costco 572 00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:23,120 and had a customer service issue 573 00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:24,999 like a lot of people who go to Costco. 574 00:24:24,999 --> 00:24:27,760 (Bill) He was taking prescription pain medication. 575 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,999 He had 40% of his L5 vertebra broken off 576 00:24:31,999 --> 00:24:33,040 jumpin' out of airplanes 577 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,999 when he got his Jump Wings in the army. 578 00:24:34,999 --> 00:24:36,840 And he was down to three pills a day, 579 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:38,080 which Erik was very proud of. He said, 580 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,600 "I want to be off this stuff by the end of the year." 581 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,999 But the cops and the DA turned that into something horrible, 582 00:24:44,999 --> 00:24:47,520 and they said he was acting crazy in Costco 583 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,131 because he was on this heavy duty pain medication. 584 00:24:51,172 --> 00:24:52,241 Not true. 585 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,560 I know airline pilots, I know lawyers, 586 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,280 I know firemen, I know cops 587 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,999 who are taking exactly the same pain medication 588 00:24:59,999 --> 00:25:03,160 and they function just fine, as did Erik. 589 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,480 But it doesn't matter. 590 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,560 If you can disparage 591 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,640 the person and his character, 592 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,440 there is this subtle psychology 593 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,800 that the American people have soaked up, and that is, 594 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,480 well, if the cops did something bad to this person, 595 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,400 then the guy must have deserved it, right, 596 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,120 because he was a bad person. 597 00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:22,160 And the cops imply, 598 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,999 "Aren't you glad we took this person off the street?" 599 00:25:26,100 --> 00:25:28,600 Las Vegas Metro is really good 600 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,160 at disparaging the people that they kill using the media. 601 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,999 They're even more skilled at keeping the crimes 602 00:25:34,999 --> 00:25:37,840 of their own top brass out of the headlines, 603 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,999 like when the sheriff, Doug Gillespie, 604 00:25:39,999 --> 00:25:42,680 had an issue at his house one night, 605 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,240 and the cops rolled in. 606 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,271 People say it was domestic violence. 607 00:25:46,312 --> 00:25:48,169 People say when officers arrived, 608 00:25:48,210 --> 00:25:49,250 he wouldn't let 'em in. 609 00:25:49,818 --> 00:25:51,720 People say that the record in the computer 610 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,099 was altered or destroyed or deleted. 611 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,920 That is a call that did come out of the sheriff's house, 612 00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:59,960 and the event was changed. 613 00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:02,240 It was changed from an original domestic violence call, 614 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,999 and six hours later it was reported as a burglary alarm. 615 00:26:05,999 --> 00:26:07,999 Where's the integrity? Where's the integrity 616 00:26:07,999 --> 00:26:10,000 for everybody who responded to that call? 617 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,920 It wasn't one person, it wasn't two people, 618 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,280 it was a lot of people. 619 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,440 And if it wasn't a domestic violence call, 620 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,160 then why in the world did the domestic violence lieutenant 621 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,440 get called out on his day off to show up? 622 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,960 I'm just using a little bit of common sense here. 623 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,960 (Bill) There was a very good reporter in town at the time, 624 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,800 and he ferreted that story out, and he was writing it, 625 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,440 and then instantly, he left town. 626 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,200 And that seems to happen to a lot of reporters. 627 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,440 (somber music) 628 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,480 Who do they answer to? 629 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,999 The billionaires who run the Strip. 630 00:26:42,999 --> 00:26:44,720 (music) 631 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,520 You just don't hear about bad cops there, 632 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,320 because the Las Vegas Visitors and Convention Bureau 633 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,280 spends well over $300 million a year advertising, 634 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,999 "Come to Vegas and have a good time." 635 00:26:55,999 --> 00:26:57,120 (music) 636 00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:01,640 The whole idea is keep the money flowing. 637 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,999 How many news organizations across the nation 638 00:27:03,999 --> 00:27:08,400 are gonna risk losing a few million bucks of advertising 639 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,840 to run a bad story 640 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,640 showing how the cops covered up 641 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,999 a white, redheaded kid? 642 00:27:13,999 --> 00:27:15,640 They don't count. 643 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,440 Gillespie said, after Erik was killed, 644 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,000 to a roomful of his own cops, 645 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,640 "I'm not losin' much sleep over the Erik Scott shooting. 646 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,920 I don't want you guys thinking 'Shoot, don't shoot' out there. 647 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,760 I want you to do whatever you have to and go home at night." 648 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,040 (music) 649 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,240 A big hole has been ripped in my heart that'll never be filled. 650 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,280 Time smoothes the jagged edges, 651 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,240 but it never makes the hurt go away. 652 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,880 And so many of these cops that are out there now saying, 653 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,040 "Do whatever you have to do, but go home at night," 654 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:58,200 if they had even an inkling of how much damage they cause... 655 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,440 The cops are never around to see how it affects 656 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,480 many, many families. 657 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:11,480 (music) 658 00:28:15,867 --> 00:28:17,441 (Rondha) When he was with his friends, 659 00:28:17,721 --> 00:28:18,801 he went by Lance. 660 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,320 That was his nickname, was Lance down in the hood. 661 00:28:23,999 --> 00:28:25,440 (sighs) 662 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,000 (music) 663 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,240 I met Stan August 27th of 2000. 664 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,080 (music) 665 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:33,999 We started playing foosball. 666 00:28:33,999 --> 00:28:34,999 (laughs) 667 00:28:34,999 --> 00:28:35,840 He took me to dinner. 668 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,999 But we were together every day since then. 669 00:28:37,999 --> 00:28:41,240 We called ourselves two orphans against the world. 670 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,960 (music) 671 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,680 He's probably the only man I could ever love. 672 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,000 (music) 673 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,999 The life he gave me... 674 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,000 He tried to make everything perfect for me, 675 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,120 regardless. 676 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,480 He thought I had to have the best of everything. 677 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,160 You know, and he made sure that I had it too. 678 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,360 (music) 679 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,200 (Stanley) Young war hero, yeah. 680 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,880 And you know it. 681 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,480 I'm a war hero. 682 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,999 Y'all wish y'all was a war hero too. 683 00:29:09,999 --> 00:29:10,999 Look at them medals back there. 684 00:29:10,999 --> 00:29:13,920 Don't even act like you can't see 'em 'cause you do. 685 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,280 Yeah, you see those medals. 686 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,999 (Rondha) He went into the war in '89 at the age of 19. 687 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,520 And his job basically in the war 688 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,920 was to clean up the dead bodies. 689 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,280 (gunfire) 690 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,920 He had to go out there when the bombs went off, 691 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,160 which they used depleted uranium, 692 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,999 and basically what depleted uranium does, 693 00:29:32,999 --> 00:29:35,560 it fuses and it melts everything together 694 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,200 except for metal. 695 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,800 For a 19, 20-year-old kid to go out there 696 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,999 and have to see babies and moms melted together, 697 00:29:42,999 --> 00:29:45,080 that's nothin' for anybody to see. 698 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,360 He come back, he developed cancer 699 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,040 from the depleted uranium. 700 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,120 He had lost the muscle movement on the side of his face 701 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,360 so everybody thought that he was kind of, like, different, 702 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,120 but he never looked at himself like different. 703 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,880 He understood what he had wrong with him and everything, 704 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:01,880 so he just kept on movin' and groovin' 705 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,600 like there was just nothin' wrong with him, 706 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:04,600 which to me it wasn't. 707 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,280 It was just something that happened in the service, 708 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,999 and he just learned to deal with it. 709 00:30:08,999 --> 00:30:11,720 (Rondha) His face kinda got a little bit messed up 710 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,320 because they took the nerves out of his right side. 711 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:15,480 He told me, he goes, "I don't know how 712 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,440 you can love somebody as ugly as me." 713 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,000 I don't look at that, I said, "I look at 714 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,320 the man who's inside." 715 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,800 I look at the heart that he had. 716 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,200 His heart was so big. 717 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,400 I gave him Shalifi when he was six weeks old. 718 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,040 He was in my backpack, I had come home from work. 719 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,040 That dog stuck his head out. 720 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,160 He looked at that dog and he screamed like a little girl, 721 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,800 and they were best friends since then. 722 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,000 (music) 723 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,080 (Stanley) Get it, get it, son, get it! 724 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,400 (music) 725 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,999 Get it, son! 726 00:30:45,999 --> 00:30:46,920 (music) 727 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,240 -Come on, son. -People live here. 728 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,120 (Stanley) Wife's walkin' the monster. 729 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,920 As you can see, she's being dragged down the street. 730 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:56,999 (William) He started losing weight 731 00:30:56,999 --> 00:30:59,840 and he started gettin' more worried 732 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:03,360 when the VA started messin' with his medication and his money 733 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,080 because he had no other way to live. 734 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,999 He was dependent on the medicine that the VA 735 00:31:06,999 --> 00:31:08,560 was givin' him for his cancer. 736 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,880 And then once they start takin' stuff from him, 737 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,400 he started gettin', you know, a little upset. 738 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,880 "I went to the Army, I did what they asked me, 739 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,600 I come home sick, and they just don't want 740 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,999 to do anything for me, 741 00:31:19,999 --> 00:31:21,999 so it seemed like I just went to the Army 742 00:31:21,999 --> 00:31:23,520 to help them out, but when I came home, 743 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,480 they would rather me just be on the street as a homeless man." 744 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,040 (Cal) He was suffering from post-traumatic stress. 745 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,440 He was off of his medication 746 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,720 because the Veterans Administration 747 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,480 wasn't treating him properly, 748 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,560 so he was having difficulties. 749 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,394 (Kelly) And it also affected his memory. 750 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,196 So he got confused about the place he had moved into, 751 00:31:43,237 --> 00:31:45,160 and he went into the wrong apartment complex. 752 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,999 (William) Rondha and Stan had just moved to those apartments. 753 00:31:47,999 --> 00:31:49,999 All the buildings looked just alike, 754 00:31:49,999 --> 00:31:51,999 but at the time, he was off his meds. 755 00:31:51,999 --> 00:31:54,400 The door looked just like his apartment door did, 756 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,680 so he thought he was at home. 757 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,520 All he wanted to do was get back home. 758 00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,520 (Kelly) And somebody saw him try to open the door 759 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,320 and they thought he was trying to break in 760 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,507 and they called the police. 761 00:32:04,062 --> 00:32:05,920 (Jesus) First call that I hear comes out 762 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,040 is of a black male in a white Cadillac 763 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,496 trying to break into a condo. 764 00:32:10,597 --> 00:32:12,181 (William) He got back in the car and he was just 765 00:32:12,222 --> 00:32:14,807 driving around the complex trying to find his apartment. 766 00:32:14,999 --> 00:32:17,920 (Kelly) After the police had shown up, he came back, 767 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,440 and they saw him so they went and they blocked his car in. 768 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,999 (Jesus) When I pulled in, 769 00:32:23,999 --> 00:32:25,080 there was really not 770 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,320 a whole lot of action goin' on. 771 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,920 He was kind of relaxed. 772 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,960 You know, I think he was on-- laying on his seat, 773 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,120 laying on the floorboard. 774 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,560 Officers try to approach the vehicle. 775 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,760 The person in the vehicle doesn't respond. 776 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,360 And everybody got their guns drawn, 777 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,999 so he was kinda scared. 778 00:32:38,999 --> 00:32:40,400 He hunkered down in the car. 779 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,880 And basically he's having a panic attack, 780 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,200 and he's not coherent enough to even realize 781 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,360 that he's in the middle of a police standoff. 782 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,800 He's basically just trying to drive his car away. 783 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,240 But they had the car blocked in to the point where 784 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,280 his tires are spinning and smoke coming off the tires, 785 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,999 and the car is not going anywhere, 786 00:32:57,999 --> 00:32:59,960 so there's no way he could have got away. 787 00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:02,800 A sergeant and a lieutenant arrived, and they had a plan 788 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,960 to blow out the back window with a low-lethal shotgun, 789 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,360 which is a bean bag that would hopefully break the window, 790 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,999 and then they'd put in pepper spray 791 00:33:09,999 --> 00:33:11,840 and see if they can make him get out. 792 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:12,680 I was lethal coverage 793 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,520 in case he came out shooting. 794 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:15,999 (tires spinning) 795 00:33:15,999 --> 00:33:17,240 I hear a gun shot. 796 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,440 I return fire to eliminate the threat. 797 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,999 (gunfire) 798 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,800 And then the car stopped, everything got real silent, 799 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,320 everything just stopped. 800 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,999 (music) 801 00:33:33,999 --> 00:33:35,680 As soon as it happened, I was pissed. I'm like, 802 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,360 "This guy made me fuckin' shoot him 803 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:38,960 because he shot at us." 804 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,720 I thought he shot at us. 805 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,400 And then I remember it was... 806 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,200 Noel Lefebvre walks up to me and tells me, 807 00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,240 "Hey, they didn't find a gun. 808 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,200 That gunshot you heard was Grego-Smith 809 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,999 shootin' the bean bag at the car." 810 00:33:54,999 --> 00:33:58,999 If I would have heard, "Hey, we're re-implementing the plan. 811 00:33:58,999 --> 00:34:01,760 We're gonna fire the bean bag round," 812 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,960 I would have known that gun shot I heard 813 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,200 was a bean bag from another officer, 814 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,999 and wouldn't have opened fire. 815 00:34:08,999 --> 00:34:10,999 But the radio system didn't work. 816 00:34:10,999 --> 00:34:13,999 I'm sittin' there lookin' at the TV, 817 00:34:13,999 --> 00:34:15,920 and I saw our car on TV. 818 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:22,760 (music) 819 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,600 I saw that damn car on TV. 820 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,120 (music) 821 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,600 And I called Metro, 822 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,720 and I said, "I think that's my husband." 823 00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:32,440 (Stephen) Sheriff Gillespie went to the media 824 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,840 and told the press that Stanley Gibson 825 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,960 was using his car as a battering ram 826 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,400 and police officers had to protect themselves. 827 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,640 It was a total lie. 828 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,400 What Sheriff Gillespie didn't know 829 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,320 was that somebody from the apartment complex 830 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,920 was filming the entire thing. 831 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,080 The video was broadcast on local news, 832 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,999 and it showed Stanley Gibson 833 00:34:53,999 --> 00:34:57,360 surrounded by empty police cruisers. 834 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,360 Police officers were at a safe distance away 835 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,680 when Jesus Arevalo fired seven shots. 836 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,160 (gunfire) 837 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,440 (William) Man, you guys murdered this guy. 838 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,760 You slaughtered him in the streets. 839 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,920 I've seen gang shootings go lighter than this, 840 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,600 and this is an officer of the law. 841 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,999 You took this helpless man's life for nothing. 842 00:35:19,999 --> 00:35:22,800 I still can't figure out what would make the police 843 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,040 do something to this-- this sick guy, you know? 844 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,760 Here, probably the best action would have been just to wait. 845 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,999 He was pinned in, there was no need to do what they did. 846 00:35:31,999 --> 00:35:33,880 Some of the things that occurred in this case 847 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,800 were just unbelievable. He used his own weapon. 848 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,975 (William) Brings out his personal AR-15 849 00:35:39,016 --> 00:35:39,999 that he had tricked out. 850 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,280 I didn't know officers could bring their own weapons to work. 851 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,999 -Why would you? -Officer Jesus Arevalo's wife 852 00:35:44,999 --> 00:35:47,280 called a local radio show host 853 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,880 and made statements on tape 854 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,800 that Jesus Arevalo wanted to shoot somebody 855 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,999 so that he could get paid time off. 856 00:35:54,999 --> 00:35:58,200 (Catherine) I mean, just literally looked at me and went, 857 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,680 "So am I a bad person for not feeling guilty 858 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,680 about killing that nigger?" 859 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,920 (dark music) 860 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,720 (William) I don't believe it was a mistake. 861 00:36:09,720 --> 00:36:11,560 I believe he came to kill somebody 862 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,155 and get time off with pay, and it worked. 863 00:36:14,608 --> 00:36:15,960 In my early career, it was like, 864 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,897 you get six weeks off if you shoot some fucker, 865 00:36:18,631 --> 00:36:20,240 and it's good if you do it by Christmas, 866 00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:21,840 you get six weeks off at Christmas. 867 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,520 (Catherine) He was bragging about, you know, 868 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,120 "That's pretty good gettin' off 869 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,000 seven shots in two seconds." 870 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,000 I can't even imagine how his poor wife feels. 871 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,200 (somber music) 872 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:42,200 (music) 873 00:36:51,999 --> 00:36:54,960 (Rondha) I come up here and I try to connect. 874 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:56,160 (music) 875 00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,200 Try to make sense. 876 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,120 They always say, you know, 877 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,999 if you get robbed, you know, 878 00:37:01,999 --> 00:37:04,280 you call the local police, you call them, 879 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,000 they'll come help you. 880 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,360 You know, my question is, 881 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,040 who do you call when Metro robs you? 882 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,000 (music) 883 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,999 (Cal) She went through loss of her husband, 884 00:37:14,999 --> 00:37:16,560 and then as a result of that, 885 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,640 the Veterans Administration 886 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:19,800 wouldn't take care of her. 887 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,160 She lost her home, 888 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,840 she lost everything that she had. 889 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,320 (Rondha) For two and a half years, 890 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,999 every single door in this city 891 00:37:26,999 --> 00:37:28,480 was slammed in my face. 892 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,178 I could not get no help from anywhere. 893 00:37:30,326 --> 00:37:31,640 Jesus had everything handed to him. 894 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,256 He was still gettin' a paycheck every week. 895 00:37:33,537 --> 00:37:35,280 He was still gettin' his stuff covered, 896 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,360 still gettin' everything paid. 897 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,999 (Stephen) Officer Jesus Arevalo 898 00:37:37,999 --> 00:37:39,999 was on administrative leave 899 00:37:39,999 --> 00:37:41,320 for 22 months. 900 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,752 He made over $200,000 901 00:37:43,793 --> 00:37:45,065 to stay home. 902 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,440 While he was on paid administrative leave, 903 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,800 he spent his time riding around on a motorcycle 904 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,400 trying to act like this fake badass, 905 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,640 flipping people off and trying to cause problems. 906 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,520 (Jesus) They made me to be the poster child for bad cops. 907 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,560 "Oh, it's Arevalo's fault. 908 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,840 We can make it look like 909 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,520 Arevalo's a bad officer. 910 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:04,560 We can make it look like 911 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,160 Officer Arevalo's decision-making is bad, 912 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:08,999 and we won't even talk about the radio system 913 00:38:08,999 --> 00:38:10,960 because, oh, we don't want the public to know 914 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,999 we paid over $40 million for this radio system, 915 00:38:13,999 --> 00:38:15,000 and it failed that night. 916 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,506 And that failure got somebody killed." 917 00:38:16,678 --> 00:38:18,160 (Rhett) It was important for the public 918 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,999 not to understand that the radio failed, 919 00:38:20,999 --> 00:38:23,120 because Assistant Sheriff Joe Lombardo, 920 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,686 who was in charge of the technical services at Metro, 921 00:38:26,014 --> 00:38:27,256 was Gillespie's boy. 922 00:38:27,297 --> 00:38:28,737 He was the one that was 923 00:38:28,778 --> 00:38:30,038 climbing the ranks fast 924 00:38:30,079 --> 00:38:32,319 and was tapped out to be the next sheriff. 925 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,200 If the public knew that the technical services division 926 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,200 that Joe Lombardo was in charge of 927 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,999 had just blown over $40 million 928 00:38:38,999 --> 00:38:42,320 that the public paid for for a radio system that didn't work, 929 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,999 that might affect his chances of being the next sheriff. 930 00:38:45,999 --> 00:38:48,200 The headlines are gonna say one of two things. 931 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,320 They're either gonna say a radio failed 932 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,120 that the public had just paid $40 million-plus for, 933 00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,880 and somebody died innocently because of that, 934 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,720 or they're gonna spin it the other way and say 935 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:02,320 this is a bad officer who killed somebody, 936 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,520 and we need to get rid of him. 937 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,480 The finding rendered during the critical incident review process 938 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:12,917 led the board to recommend he, officer Jesus Arevalo, 939 00:39:12,958 --> 00:39:14,253 be terminated. 940 00:39:15,193 --> 00:39:17,592 After a thorough review by myself, 941 00:39:17,633 --> 00:39:21,314 I have approved that board's recommendation. 942 00:39:21,578 --> 00:39:24,897 (Rhett) Sure enough, after Doug Gillespie fired Jesus Arevalo, 943 00:39:24,938 --> 00:39:27,899 Joe Lombardo announced he's running for sheriff. 944 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,160 I think Jesus Arevalo was simply made a scapegoat 945 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,999 to cover up the fact that this radio purchase was horrible. 946 00:39:35,999 --> 00:39:38,999 Jesus Arevalo hasn't did a day in jail, 947 00:39:38,999 --> 00:39:40,520 will never do a day in jail. 948 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,320 Not only will he never be punished for this crime, 949 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,840 they're giving him a very big lump sum 950 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,800 for disability every month. 951 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,160 You get disability 'cause you killed somebody? 952 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,160 -That's bullshit. -That, to me, 953 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:57,360 was a slap in the face. 954 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,280 You know, to serve and protect, you know, 955 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,280 they serve and protect their own. 956 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,480 (somber music) 957 00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,400 (music) 958 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,680 "She should be happy now. She's got all that money." 959 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,480 She didn't want the money. 960 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,760 She wanted her husband. 961 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,840 She had her husband until that day. 962 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,920 People tell me, "Well, you need money to survive." 963 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,240 Well, yeah, you need money to survive, 964 00:40:19,240 --> 00:40:22,680 but you also need a partner in your life to help you survive. 965 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,480 You need somebody in your life... 966 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:26,640 that's always there for you, 967 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,920 that doesn't care about 968 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,560 how you look in the morning. 969 00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,840 You need somebody that truly loves you for you. 970 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,280 (music) 971 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,999 And I had that. 972 00:40:35,999 --> 00:40:39,880 I had that until Jesus decided to change all that. 973 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,680 (William) She's still dealing with all the pain and anguish 974 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,600 of how her husband was murdered in the streets, 975 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,999 and, you know, it's a pretty big house, 976 00:40:47,999 --> 00:40:50,760 but it's a big, lonely house. 977 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,400 The money doesn't mean nothin' to her. 978 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:53,400 I'm sure she would give it back 979 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,600 just to see her husband one more time. 980 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:57,720 Alive. 981 00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:59,999 (Kelly) I knew Stanley Gibson in high school, 982 00:40:59,999 --> 00:41:02,560 and I hadn't seen him in a long time, 983 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,240 and the first time I saw him in decades 984 00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:07,520 was when I saw the report 985 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,999 that he'd been murdered by the police on TV. 986 00:41:09,999 --> 00:41:13,752 And that's what inspired me to get involved in activism. 987 00:41:13,793 --> 00:41:15,273 (music) 988 00:41:15,533 --> 00:41:17,200 The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department 989 00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,999 actually formed a task force to investigate, charge, 990 00:41:20,999 --> 00:41:25,160 and arrest us for writing on the sidewalk with chalk. 991 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,040 (Jennifer) I heard about it, and I was flabbergasted, 992 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,283 because how could someone be put in jail for using chalk? 993 00:41:32,573 --> 00:41:34,453 (Kelly) We had two charges for graffiti, 994 00:41:34,612 --> 00:41:36,572 and we had two charges of conspiracy 995 00:41:36,613 --> 00:41:38,213 because, you know, we sat down and planned 996 00:41:38,254 --> 00:41:39,720 to write stuff on the sidewalk. 997 00:41:40,617 --> 00:41:42,777 We were facing four years. 998 00:41:43,043 --> 00:41:44,478 (Jennifer) We live in Sin City. 999 00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:47,400 Any sick, twisted desire you want 1000 00:41:47,441 --> 00:41:48,958 you can have come true in this city. 1001 00:41:48,999 --> 00:41:52,760 We have the highest rate of sex trafficking among children, 1002 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,999 and they're using their time and effort 1003 00:41:54,999 --> 00:41:57,560 to go after guys with chalk? 1004 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,320 (Kelly) They tried to say it took $1500 1005 00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:01,080 to wash the chalk off the sidewalk. 1006 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,280 (Jennifer) Because they used a graffiti abatement team 1007 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,400 when me as a mom and anybody who knows 1008 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:11,640 you can get chalk cleaned up with water and a broom. 1009 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,560 So I organized a protest. 1010 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,000 We wanted to show them how ridiculous they looked, 1011 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,000 and we brought water and we had all the media there 1012 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,800 and we all chalked on the ground, 1013 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,160 and then washed it all away with water and a broom 1014 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:26,999 like they could have used. 1015 00:42:26,999 --> 00:42:34,440 (music) 1016 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,999 (Kelly) District Attorney Steve Wolfson said that he takes 1017 00:42:36,999 --> 00:42:38,880 people writing with chalk very seriously, 1018 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,457 but obviously he doesn't take cops murdering people 1019 00:42:41,498 --> 00:42:42,426 very seriously. 1020 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:48,552 The three most publicized shootings in the past decade 1021 00:42:48,646 --> 00:42:49,949 in Las Vegas-- 1022 00:42:49,999 --> 00:42:53,488 Trevon Cole, Stanley Gibson, and Erik Scott-- 1023 00:42:53,604 --> 00:42:56,359 all three shootings could have been avoided 1024 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,120 if the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department 1025 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,560 had deescalated the situation instead of escalating. 1026 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,999 (music) 1027 00:43:07,999 --> 00:43:11,760 You would have three very important lives saved 1028 00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:15,000 and three families whole. 1029 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:23,000 (music) 1030 00:43:27,999 --> 00:43:29,440 (Rhett) So even after Rondha got her money, 1031 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,440 she continued to speak out about the lack of accountability 1032 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:33,999 and problems with the department, 1033 00:43:33,999 --> 00:43:37,640 and finally the community was listening. 1034 00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,200 The community was getting just as fed up as she was 1035 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:41,280 about the senseless shootings 1036 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:45,040 and problems with the department lack of accountability. 1037 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,160 So it probably wasn't a good time 1038 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,999 for the sheriff to introduce the more cops tax, 1039 00:43:48,999 --> 00:43:50,400 which was the sheriff's plan 1040 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,880 to increase the sales tax 1041 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,999 to get more cops on the street. 1042 00:43:53,999 --> 00:43:54,999 (music) 1043 00:43:54,999 --> 00:43:57,400 (Kelly) Personally, I haven't seen any evidence 1044 00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,040 that there's a shortage of cops. 1045 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,280 They had enough cops to conduct a two-month investigation 1046 00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,160 of some people writing on sidewalks with chalk. 1047 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,360 They have enough cops to have undercover cops 1048 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:08,680 going up and down the Strip 1049 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:10,999 to make sure that somebody isn't selling water 1050 00:44:10,999 --> 00:44:13,040 because they're competing with casinos. 1051 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,280 The fact that it was called "unprecedented" 1052 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:16,999 when the Use of Force Board recommended 1053 00:44:16,999 --> 00:44:19,200 that somebody be fired for shooting somebody 1054 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,760 because they thought his hat was a gun is disgraceful. 1055 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,760 The fact that Sheriff Gillespie over here 1056 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,999 refused that recommendation is beyond disrespectful, 1057 00:44:27,999 --> 00:44:30,320 it's an insult to this community. 1058 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:31,920 (judge) Motion fails. 1059 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,520 (cheers and applause) 1060 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,400 After the more cops tax failed in the legislature, 1061 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:38,999 County Commissioner Steve Sisolak 1062 00:44:38,999 --> 00:44:42,720 accused Sheriff Gillespie of not playing by the rules 1063 00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:43,999 in an arbitration agreement, 1064 00:44:43,999 --> 00:44:47,000 and Sheriff Gillespie just came unglued. 1065 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,040 It was temper tantrum time. 1066 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,440 I'm offended by what an individual said 1067 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:53,960 not only about me 1068 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,360 but as well as my organization, 1069 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,999 what I believe to be the finest police department in America. 1070 00:44:58,999 --> 00:45:01,600 It's very dangerous having someone like Doug Gillespie 1071 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,280 at the helm, because the leaders underneath 1072 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,413 will take on that bullying persona. 1073 00:45:06,537 --> 00:45:08,694 The fish does rot from the head, 1074 00:45:08,735 --> 00:45:12,209 and Gillespie is about as rotten as they get. 1075 00:45:12,250 --> 00:45:13,958 I've seen him throw a tantrum 1076 00:45:13,999 --> 00:45:16,733 and call the minority community cockroaches. 1077 00:45:16,774 --> 00:45:18,459 The tone of the entire department 1078 00:45:18,500 --> 00:45:20,131 is set by the leadership 1079 00:45:20,208 --> 00:45:21,958 at the highest levels, 1080 00:45:22,155 --> 00:45:25,295 and we have a sheriff that's essentially above the law. 1081 00:45:25,436 --> 00:45:27,038 Even right below him, Ted Moody, 1082 00:45:27,079 --> 00:45:29,538 had a domestic violence call to his house. 1083 00:45:30,020 --> 00:45:31,850 Third in command, Joe Lombardo, 1084 00:45:31,891 --> 00:45:33,691 in charge of a communication system. 1085 00:45:33,732 --> 00:45:36,850 $40 million later, it doesn't work. 1086 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,014 Fourth in command, Undersheriff Kevin McMahill. 1087 00:45:40,498 --> 00:45:42,280 According to court documents, 1088 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,756 he was part of a team that caught a woman with drugs, 1089 00:45:45,999 --> 00:45:49,897 and they promised her that if she would show them her vagina, 1090 00:45:50,132 --> 00:45:51,491 they would let her off. 1091 00:45:51,999 --> 00:45:54,889 He cost taxpayers thousands of dollars, 1092 00:45:55,334 --> 00:45:56,695 and he resigned. 1093 00:45:56,844 --> 00:45:58,364 But they let him back. 1094 00:45:58,405 --> 00:45:59,709 I used to say that there was 1095 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,655 a massive breakdown on leadership 1096 00:46:01,696 --> 00:46:02,850 starting at the top, 1097 00:46:03,131 --> 00:46:04,499 but how do you have a breakdown 1098 00:46:04,540 --> 00:46:06,179 if the integrity was never there? 1099 00:46:06,331 --> 00:46:08,850 And these are the people that are supposed to be 1100 00:46:08,891 --> 00:46:11,030 holding other officers accountable. 1101 00:46:11,615 --> 00:46:12,958 (Norm) When you have the confidence 1102 00:46:12,999 --> 00:46:14,520 that you can do just about anything 1103 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,120 and your partners are gonna look the other way 1104 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,409 or not speak up about it and cover for you, 1105 00:46:18,728 --> 00:46:20,208 you can create a monster. 1106 00:46:20,388 --> 00:46:23,188 Every bad cop that kills somebody, 1107 00:46:23,229 --> 00:46:25,399 and then the good ones have to help cover it up 1108 00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:28,690 because of the blue wall of silence nonsense, 1109 00:46:28,731 --> 00:46:30,251 what does it do to them? 1110 00:46:30,434 --> 00:46:32,274 What does it do to their psyche? 1111 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,520 What does it do to their level of cynicism 1112 00:46:34,561 --> 00:46:37,502 about their own field, about their own colleagues? 1113 00:46:38,238 --> 00:46:39,565 And the good officers, 1114 00:46:39,746 --> 00:46:41,151 they don't even want to be a part of it. 1115 00:46:41,418 --> 00:46:42,958 Morale right now is not good. 1116 00:46:42,999 --> 00:46:45,958 You know, there is a feeling around the department 1117 00:46:45,999 --> 00:46:48,620 that our current sheriff doesn't care about us. 1118 00:46:49,268 --> 00:46:51,079 He's autocratic, talks down to folks. 1119 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,026 It's either his way or the highway. 1120 00:46:53,159 --> 00:46:54,409 That's just not conducive 1121 00:46:54,450 --> 00:46:56,557 to the people business that we're in. 1122 00:46:56,598 --> 00:46:58,213 We're here to serve the people, 1123 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,160 and everything we do 1124 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,280 revolves on how we treat the community. 1125 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,120 There's a huge schism within the department out there 1126 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,794 between the good ones that are trying to do their job 1127 00:47:09,013 --> 00:47:10,160 and these bad ones. 1128 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,200 Unfortunately, the leadership falls in the bad side, 1129 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,999 and at the academy today, 1130 00:47:15,999 --> 00:47:19,560 good cops tell me they are training the new cops, 1131 00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,800 the cadets, who are gonna be rookies soon, 1132 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:23,999 that we are at war with the community. 1133 00:47:23,999 --> 00:47:26,240 (Rhett) The department wasn't always this broken. 1134 00:47:26,240 --> 00:47:28,040 We've had good sheriffs in the past. 1135 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,520 Sheriff Jerry Keller, for instance, 1136 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,999 the father of "Partners with the Community" slogan. 1137 00:47:32,999 --> 00:47:33,999 He was a great sheriff, 1138 00:47:33,999 --> 00:47:36,999 and he wanted everybody in the police department 1139 00:47:36,999 --> 00:47:38,999 to understand that they were to be 1140 00:47:38,999 --> 00:47:41,560 "Partners with the Community." 1141 00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,680 I think that's something that's been lost 1142 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,440 in today's department. 1143 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,080 (soft music) 1144 00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,480 I grew up in a law enforcement home. 1145 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,520 My stepfather, whom I love very much, 1146 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,840 was highway patrol. 1147 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,120 Some of my best friends to this day are cops. 1148 00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,040 I served seven years on the SWAT team 1149 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,120 as a videographer. 1150 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,680 So, I'm about as far away 1151 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,120 from what you'd call a cop hater 1152 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,400 as you could possibly be. 1153 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:08,120 And I think Ramsey having the experience that he had 1154 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:09,720 isn't quite feeling the same. 1155 00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:12,240 I think it's important that I show him some cops 1156 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:13,708 that I know he'll respect. 1157 00:48:13,749 --> 00:48:15,208 (Ramsey) Rhett's told me a lot about you, 1158 00:48:15,249 --> 00:48:17,320 he says you guys worked on the, uh, SWAT team. 1159 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,880 (Larry) We did, yeah, we spent a lot of time together. 1160 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,372 Known each other for a number of years now. 1161 00:48:21,526 --> 00:48:23,079 (Rhett) It was kind of an unprecedented thing. 1162 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,160 It was something that Larry started within the department 1163 00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,040 to bring on volunteers to photo 1164 00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,880 and video these SWAT incidents. 1165 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,360 (Larry) And you find that things do change. 1166 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,760 Little things like language that is being used is, uh, 1167 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:39,320 suddenly better than perhaps it would be 1168 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,360 without being recorded. 1169 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,760 And so there were no disadvantages to this 1170 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:44,800 because we were doing the right thing. 1171 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,760 The advent of cameras, that's law enforcement's friend, 1172 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:51,400 and then that helps us to weed out those individuals 1173 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,440 who have no business within law enforcement. 1174 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,160 (Ramsey) I never really thought bad cops were out there 1175 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,240 until I saw it ten feet in front of my eyes. 1176 00:48:59,240 --> 00:49:01,960 Rhett and I actually saw somebody 1177 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:06,280 being basically beaten up and tortured by the cops. 1178 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,080 I was shocked at what I was seeing, 1179 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,120 Rhett was shocked at what he was seeing. 1180 00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:14,160 I actually called 9-1-1 and reported this. 1181 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,520 And a couple minutes later, I'm getting beaten up, 1182 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:21,800 arrested, and thrown in jail by those same cops. 1183 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:23,000 (dark music) 1184 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,920 And then I was shocked at how they took that 1185 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,040 and they turned it around on me 1186 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,080 to justify what they'd done. 1187 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,520 (music) 1188 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,600 It is incredible to read a police report 1189 00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,480 filled with absolute complete lies. 1190 00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:40,720 I'm not sure what your arrest was, 1191 00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:42,880 but I'm sure it was something along the lines 1192 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,320 of obstructing and resisting. 1193 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:46,360 It said "resisting arrest." 1194 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,240 He saw me on the phone and said, "What are you doing?" 1195 00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:50,707 I said, "Well, I saw what you're doing, 1196 00:49:50,748 --> 00:49:52,280 there's nothing right about what you're doing, 1197 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,320 so I called 9-1-1 and told them about it." 1198 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:57,320 And he said, "You better get the hell out of here 1199 00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:58,480 or I'm gonna have you arrested." 1200 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,680 And as Rhett and I are walking away, 1201 00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,480 I said, "Arrested for what?" 1202 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:04,999 And the next second I'm on the ground 1203 00:50:04,999 --> 00:50:08,280 with a guy sticking his boot on my head, literally, 1204 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:09,920 like you just look at my mugshot 1205 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,160 and there's a--a print from a boot on my head. 1206 00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,960 Of course, I go to jail for three days, 1207 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,400 only time I've ever been to jail in my life. 1208 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,000 And I got out and the first thing I did 1209 00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:18,840 was get on that phone. 1210 00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,960 I called up Internal Affairs and reported this. 1211 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,720 They opened up an investigation. 1212 00:50:23,720 --> 00:50:26,480 I called up the club and asked for the video. 1213 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:27,760 And you know what they said to me? 1214 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,280 They said, "The cameras weren't recording that night. 1215 00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:32,785 We don't always run those cameras." 1216 00:50:32,826 --> 00:50:34,465 That video... 1217 00:50:34,506 --> 00:50:35,824 (music) 1218 00:50:35,865 --> 00:50:37,265 ...never surfaced. 1219 00:50:37,306 --> 00:50:39,706 It went and disappeared. 1220 00:50:40,019 --> 00:50:41,840 (Larry) It is your friend 1221 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,080 when you are doing things that are proper. 1222 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,120 When you are not, it becomes an enemy. 1223 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,280 (soft music) 1224 00:50:50,338 --> 00:50:53,120 One night I was filming them arresting a woman. 1225 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,600 -Don't touch me! -And as I was doing that, 1226 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,600 one of them came over to me and told me 1227 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,640 that I was not allowed to film. 1228 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:00,760 (officer #1) Move on. 1229 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:01,860 (Kelly) I'm not moving on. 1230 00:51:01,901 --> 00:51:03,000 I told him he was wrong, 1231 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,720 that I am allowed to film in public 1232 00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:06,400 and that that's part of the First Amendment. 1233 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,600 -You want to go to jail? -For what? 1234 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:09,999 -Obstructing? -He insisted 1235 00:51:09,999 --> 00:51:11,040 that I was not allowed to film. 1236 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,080 -You want to go to jail? -Recording is not obstructive. 1237 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,240 -Obstruct-- -I'm not obstructing anything. 1238 00:51:15,240 --> 00:51:17,600 -Let's go. -Fuck that, dude. 1239 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,524 Will you stop? 1240 00:51:19,565 --> 00:51:20,508 Stop! 1241 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,080 -I'm not doing anything. -You need to stop right now. 1242 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,000 (female bystander) He's just recording. That's not okay! 1243 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,960 He did not do nothing wrong. That's not fair! 1244 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:28,999 They threw me in the street 1245 00:51:28,999 --> 00:51:31,560 and then charged me for being in the street. 1246 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,200 (female bystander) Get off of him, get off of him! 1247 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,880 (Kelly) I'm not doing anything, I was recording in public. 1248 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:38,880 It was ridiculous. 1249 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,680 But the LVMPD is really good at being ridiculous. 1250 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,999 (Ramsey) And really bad at holding officers accountable. 1251 00:51:45,999 --> 00:51:48,000 -Are you an idiot? -No, I'm not. 1252 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,999 (Ramsey) Internal Affairs opened an investigation 1253 00:51:50,999 --> 00:51:53,720 into the incident and punished the officer 1254 00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:56,520 by giving him a stern talking to. 1255 00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,560 (officer #1) I told your dumb ass to move. 1256 00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:01,080 (Kelly) I got arrested, I was thrown in jail, 1257 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,400 I was assaulted, had some injuries, 1258 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,760 and this cop basically just had his supervisor 1259 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,400 sit him down and have a talk with him. 1260 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:11,000 And that lack of accountability 1261 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,120 is what really encourages them 1262 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:14,999 to go out and do the abuses that they do. 1263 00:52:14,999 --> 00:52:17,360 That's why it's important that we videotape them 1264 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:21,999 because that puts pressure on them not to act that way. 1265 00:52:21,999 --> 00:52:23,551 (music) 1266 00:52:23,739 --> 00:52:25,400 Good officers actually like cameras 1267 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,999 because they realize cameras can be a protector 1268 00:52:27,999 --> 00:52:29,206 against false accusations. 1269 00:52:29,247 --> 00:52:31,480 That's one of the reasons I was actually brought on 1270 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:32,400 to the SWAT team. 1271 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:36,200 It actually served as a protection to them. 1272 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,160 I was just in awe as I watched Larry work, 1273 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,880 as I watched the compassion that he had 1274 00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:44,999 on these horrific hostage barricade situations 1275 00:52:44,999 --> 00:52:48,080 where there's a person with a gun, you know, 1276 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:49,360 willing to kill anybody, 1277 00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,520 and countless number of times 1278 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:53,999 I saw those situations turn out well 1279 00:52:53,999 --> 00:52:55,999 where the hostages were saved. 1280 00:52:55,999 --> 00:52:58,999 (somber music) 1281 00:52:58,999 --> 00:53:00,640 After he was a SWAT commander, 1282 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:01,880 he was promoted to captain 1283 00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,960 and assigned to the Bolden Area Command, 1284 00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:05,920 that's located in one of the poorest, 1285 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,240 most crime-ridden areas of Las Vegas. 1286 00:53:08,240 --> 00:53:12,000 Probably the toughest place to be a captain in this town. 1287 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,000 (music) 1288 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,520 (Larry) It was very common 1289 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,440 that someone commits a crime 1290 00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,999 right in broad daylight in front of many people. 1291 00:53:19,999 --> 00:53:22,960 The officers come in to investigate that, 1292 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,000 and suddenly nobody saw anything. 1293 00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:27,280 Now, what causes that? 1294 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,999 It's simply a disrespect for law enforcement. 1295 00:53:31,999 --> 00:53:33,840 Crime was very high. 1296 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,000 And when I speak of crime, 1297 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:36,800 I'm talking about robbery, 1298 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,760 assaults with a deadly weapon, 1299 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,360 rape, murder. 1300 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:44,240 What I had the advantage of, 1301 00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:46,040 is 25 years before 1302 00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:48,999 working in that community as an officer. 1303 00:53:48,999 --> 00:53:52,640 What I saw was is that we were doing the same thing 1304 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:54,612 over and over and over again 1305 00:53:54,936 --> 00:53:56,235 and we got the same results. 1306 00:53:56,276 --> 00:53:57,891 (Ramsey) And what was it that you guys were doing 1307 00:53:57,932 --> 00:54:00,240 -over and over again? -Trying to arrest our way 1308 00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:02,680 out of the problems that we had. 1309 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,120 We failed to connect with the community 1310 00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:07,480 on any sustained way. 1311 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,000 So, we changed that. 1312 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,600 The idea was 180 officers going into the field 1313 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,800 would go out and make two contacts a day 1314 00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,880 with anyone of any age, 1315 00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,999 of any status in the community, 1316 00:54:20,999 --> 00:54:23,760 and simply introduce themselves, 1317 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:26,240 doing that two times a day, 1318 00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:28,760 180 officers. 1319 00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:29,999 Over a week, 1320 00:54:29,999 --> 00:54:31,960 over a month, 1321 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,800 over a year, 1322 00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:35,920 what does that do? 1323 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,000 I remember going to a barbershop 1324 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,999 and walking into the barbershop 1325 00:54:40,999 --> 00:54:43,360 and having the barbers and the clients, 1326 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:46,600 I was in uniform, look at me like, 1327 00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,999 "What are you doing here?" 1328 00:54:48,999 --> 00:54:50,680 And I was going to meet the owner 1329 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,120 of the barbershop who had an issue. 1330 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:54,880 (Mack) Had somebody in the parking lot 1331 00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,320 that I didn't want to have, 1332 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,999 and I called and he responded. 1333 00:54:58,999 --> 00:54:59,800 And, uh, after that, 1334 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,360 he gave me his card and everything, 1335 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:05,999 and we just, from that, gradually become good friends. 1336 00:55:05,999 --> 00:55:08,320 By the time three years were up, 1337 00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:10,160 I was shaking hands and high-fiving 1338 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,240 the barbers that were in the shop. 1339 00:55:13,240 --> 00:55:15,320 He kind of wanted to know 1340 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,999 the shop owners and different people, 1341 00:55:17,999 --> 00:55:19,760 so if something was going on 1342 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:20,999 they know who to contact. 1343 00:55:20,999 --> 00:55:22,999 They tried to build a relationship 1344 00:55:22,999 --> 00:55:24,720 with all the business owners 1345 00:55:24,761 --> 00:55:26,284 up and down Martin Luther King. 1346 00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:28,880 I worked for Larry Burns at the Bolden Area Command 1347 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,680 for three years, he was my captain, 1348 00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,440 and we really wanted to change the perception 1349 00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:35,217 of the police in that community, 1350 00:55:35,258 --> 00:55:36,202 and we did that. 1351 00:55:36,243 --> 00:55:38,077 We reached out to church leaders, 1352 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,640 to community organizations, to schools. 1353 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,160 (Larry) When you feed those children, 1354 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:43,320 when you have a little barbecue 1355 00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:44,880 and you give them the only food 1356 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:46,280 they've had for that day, 1357 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,920 that information spreads like wild fire. 1358 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,360 (Ramsey) What you're talking about is policing with respect, 1359 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:52,960 policing with compassion. 1360 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:53,920 And I've talked to people 1361 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:55,999 that think that makes you a softie. 1362 00:55:55,999 --> 00:55:57,560 Larry Burns is a softie. 1363 00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,640 13 years, uh, in SWAT, 1364 00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,120 seven years as a tactical commander. 1365 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:04,280 Anything but soft. 1366 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,320 But my experience had taught me 1367 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:07,920 that toughness is required 1368 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:09,999 a very small portion of the time. 1369 00:56:09,999 --> 00:56:13,840 But compassion is what really changes a community. 1370 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,999 And the answer was love. 1371 00:56:16,999 --> 00:56:19,600 The answer was to care about others 1372 00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:21,999 the way you care about your own. 1373 00:56:22,780 --> 00:56:24,710 (Kevin) The first time I met Larry Burns, 1374 00:56:24,751 --> 00:56:26,430 he busted me selling drugs 1375 00:56:26,757 --> 00:56:28,920 in addition to a gun I had on me. 1376 00:56:29,484 --> 00:56:32,999 And I was a young bad kid that didn't have no respect 1377 00:56:32,999 --> 00:56:36,000 for even Larry Burns at the time. 1378 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,999 I was arrested 47 times before I was 19 years old. 1379 00:56:40,999 --> 00:56:43,280 I was a hardcore gang member. 1380 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,000 So when I met him, it was just pretty much, 1381 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,160 "You're one of them and I'm over here 1382 00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:50,800 trying to keep doing the crime 1383 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:52,720 and you gotta catch me." 1384 00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:55,240 So that's how I met Larry. 1385 00:56:55,911 --> 00:56:58,295 He put the bad cop thing down. 1386 00:56:58,374 --> 00:56:59,522 We saw them as bad, 1387 00:56:59,559 --> 00:57:02,519 and he would make it personal every time. 1388 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:03,999 It wasn't, "Get on the car!" 1389 00:57:03,999 --> 00:57:05,382 It was like, "Can I talk to you for a minute? 1390 00:57:05,976 --> 00:57:07,279 You gotta stop it. 1391 00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,311 You gotta stop it and I'll tell you why you gotta stop it. 1392 00:57:09,352 --> 00:57:10,491 You're better than this. 1393 00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:15,560 I mean, you stood out here hours at a time selling drugs. 1394 00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:18,080 It's easier to go get a job and make money, 1395 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,240 and it's your money." 1396 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,120 That's what Larry Burns was about. 1397 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,040 He was about trying to change what-- 1398 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,960 the bad in you and make it good. 1399 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:28,760 He didn't give up on you. 1400 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,400 (music) 1401 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:31,600 When I got shot at the City Hall, 1402 00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,000 he was the only officer to come and say, 1403 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,999 "You almost could have died." 1404 00:57:36,999 --> 00:57:40,600 I remember him coming to the hospital, 1405 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,880 "Kevin, you're gonna lose your life if you don't-- 1406 00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,200 you got a child." 1407 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,480 (music) 1408 00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,640 But I was charged with racketeering and murder, 1409 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:49,360 and I had a 22-count indictment. 1410 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:51,999 And that's the last thing society remembered. 1411 00:57:51,999 --> 00:57:54,920 Kevin Lay was convicted of first degree murder, 1412 00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:58,120 he was one vote away from being on Death Row, 1413 00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:59,800 and he's gone. 1414 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,560 While I was in prison, I had committed to myself 1415 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:04,600 that I had to do something 1416 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,964 about this so-called legacy I left out here. 1417 00:58:08,005 --> 00:58:09,080 'Cause when I came home, 1418 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,480 the gang unit and the task force 1419 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,920 was there watching me like a hawk. 1420 00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:14,920 Larry Burns took a chance and said, 1421 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,999 "You're gonna get it right this time." 1422 00:58:16,999 --> 00:58:17,999 (music) 1423 00:58:17,999 --> 00:58:22,280 I started as a regular laborer at a construction company 1424 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,680 and now I'm the superintendent. 1425 00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,960 He just saw something good in me 1426 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,400 that later was revealed 1427 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,160 through some of the things we do now. 1428 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,560 He had influence and I did too, 1429 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:34,999 and with it together 1430 00:58:34,999 --> 00:58:37,999 we knew we could do great things together. 1431 00:58:37,999 --> 00:58:41,920 "Hey, Kevin, there's a situation 1432 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,040 where we know this guy has a gun 1433 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,480 and we can't get it off the streets. 1434 00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,280 I'm not asking you to tell on him, 1435 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,240 I'm not asking you to do anything like that, 1436 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,120 but we need this gun off the street. 1437 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,360 This guy is dangerous." 1438 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:55,760 "I agree, Larry. 1439 00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,120 I agree what you're saying. 1440 00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,160 And if I can use my influence, I'll get it." 1441 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:03,560 I got the machine gun and I let Larry know, 1442 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,999 "The machine gun is behind the store. 1443 00:59:06,999 --> 00:59:07,800 It's all yours. 1444 00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,320 We got that gun off the street." 1445 00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,139 "Whose gun?" 1446 00:59:12,180 --> 00:59:13,279 "That's a different story, 1447 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,960 that's none of-- I can't give you that. 1448 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:18,400 You wanted the gun, the gun is gone." 1449 00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,040 The respect is incredible. 1450 00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,520 When you bring a community together, 1451 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,120 people see that, 1452 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:25,320 they feel that, 1453 00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:26,960 and it changes attitudes. 1454 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:28,520 And the citizens knew 1455 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,320 they could contact us, 1456 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,040 tell us what they knew. 1457 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:35,720 Now you've got a coalition of good, 1458 00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:36,999 and good things are happening. 1459 00:59:36,999 --> 00:59:41,160 Homicides, robberies, assaults all went down 1460 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:42,999 some 60% initially, 1461 00:59:42,999 --> 00:59:45,560 and it continued from there. 1462 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:46,920 (music) 1463 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:48,520 (Rhett) Even though Larry's area, 1464 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:49,480 the Bolden Area Command, 1465 00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:50,999 was the only area in town 1466 00:59:50,999 --> 00:59:52,999 where crime was actually going down, 1467 00:59:52,999 --> 00:59:55,600 some of the members of Doug Gillespie's executive staff 1468 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,560 felt that Larry's methods were too soft on crime, 1469 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:02,000 that they needed to send in saturation teams 1470 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,560 and beef up police presence. 1471 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,999 (Larry) Saturation teams are groups of officers 1472 01:00:05,999 --> 01:00:08,480 that are gathered together to go in a high-crime area, 1473 01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,040 it's a zero tolerance approach to a neighborhood 1474 01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,080 to reduce crime, and it does, 1475 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,960 while the saturation team is in place. 1476 01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:18,080 The moment that they leave, 1477 01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:19,680 you have two things that occur: 1478 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,000 an increase in crime, again, 1479 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,920 and you have a decrease 1480 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,999 in public relations with the police. 1481 01:00:25,999 --> 01:00:29,999 So, I would not allow them access to my area command. 1482 01:00:29,999 --> 01:00:33,999 That caused a great deal of consternation 1483 01:00:33,999 --> 01:00:36,720 at the top of the organization. 1484 01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,400 (Silk) These saturation teams in my area 1485 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,720 have been crazy off-the-hook. 1486 01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,120 It's rarely that I go out and do not see 1487 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:45,520 at least two cop cars. 1488 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,640 Three or four cop cars sometimes. 1489 01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:50,800 Saturation teams are just looking for stuff to happen. 1490 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,920 When we pulled up to Sahara and Valley View, 1491 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,160 we noticed some cops on the side of us looking at us. 1492 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,600 It's two black men riding in a nice Lexus, 1493 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,080 of course something had to be wrong with that. 1494 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:02,320 (music) 1495 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,760 Before we get to the next light, we get pulled over. 1496 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:07,800 Questioned why we were pulled over and they said for speeding. 1497 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,430 And who speeds in front of a cop? 1498 01:01:09,471 --> 01:01:10,944 I was just sitting there minding my own business 1499 01:01:10,985 --> 01:01:12,320 in the passenger seat, I was sitting there, 1500 01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:13,655 and the officer looks over at me and says, 1501 01:01:13,696 --> 01:01:14,835 "Do you have your ID?" I said, "Yes." 1502 01:01:14,876 --> 01:01:16,540 He said, "May I see it?" I say, "No, you may not." 1503 01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,680 If you're in the passenger seat in a car 1504 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:24,560 and you're doing nothing, 1505 01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:25,999 you do not have to present an ID. 1506 01:01:25,999 --> 01:01:28,571 So, they got mad about that because I knew about that 1507 01:01:28,612 --> 01:01:29,657 and wouldn't give my ID. 1508 01:01:49,876 --> 01:01:51,532 I think four or five more cops pull up. 1509 01:01:51,841 --> 01:01:52,915 They all get out the car. 1510 01:01:52,956 --> 01:01:54,055 Order me out the car. 1511 01:02:25,158 --> 01:02:26,580 This was rolling the whole time. 1512 01:02:26,882 --> 01:02:27,958 They didn't know that. 1513 01:02:27,999 --> 01:02:30,291 All right, let's get your legs underneath you. 1514 01:02:35,748 --> 01:02:37,588 They searched my car for marijuana, 1515 01:02:37,629 --> 01:02:39,486 which I'm a union heavy equipment operator 1516 01:02:39,527 --> 01:02:40,783 for Local 12 Operators Union, 1517 01:02:40,824 --> 01:02:41,893 I do not smoke weed. 1518 01:02:41,934 --> 01:02:43,072 We have a random drug test. 1519 01:02:47,500 --> 01:02:49,182 And one officer said, "I smell weed. 1520 01:02:49,509 --> 01:02:50,619 There's weed in here. 1521 01:02:51,094 --> 01:02:51,894 Where's the weed? 1522 01:02:52,355 --> 01:02:54,338 Help me find the weed, we gotta find the weed." 1523 01:03:13,587 --> 01:03:15,010 You even hear the jackass say it. 1524 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:17,885 "Do what you gotta do 'cause we've gotta find something." 1525 01:03:17,926 --> 01:03:19,366 'Cause they're not finding nothing in my car. 1526 01:03:19,479 --> 01:03:22,494 "Do what you gotta do 'cause you have to find-- 1527 01:03:22,535 --> 01:03:23,807 we have to find something." 1528 01:03:33,999 --> 01:03:35,932 They know they just pulled us over for no reason, 1529 01:03:36,058 --> 01:03:37,399 and they gotta find something. 1530 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,080 And when they don't, they make up a bogus charge 1531 01:03:40,121 --> 01:03:41,841 about obstructing an officer 1532 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:43,999 and take me to jail and have me strip-searched 1533 01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,838 and charged for just exercising my constitutional rights 1534 01:03:47,999 --> 01:03:49,705 to saying, "I don't want to give you ID 1535 01:03:49,746 --> 01:03:50,963 'cause I've done nothing wrong." 1536 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,518 It's like a kick in the face. 1537 01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,560 You strive, you work hard, you pay your bills, 1538 01:03:56,601 --> 01:03:58,291 you move up, you know, you study 1539 01:03:58,683 --> 01:04:00,094 to do better stuff for your family. 1540 01:04:00,135 --> 01:04:02,877 And then these cops come and take it all away from you 1541 01:04:02,918 --> 01:04:04,608 for being a black man in a Lexus. 1542 01:04:05,908 --> 01:04:07,666 So we get the body cam footage 1543 01:04:07,707 --> 01:04:09,187 back from Silk's case. 1544 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,705 Now the police officer said that he was speeding, 1545 01:04:11,746 --> 01:04:14,186 going 55 miles per hour, in the report, 1546 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,600 and not only does it show on the body cam 1547 01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:21,520 that they were under 45 miles per hour, the speed limit, 1548 01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,720 but as they approached the car, they tell the driver, 1549 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,840 "Oh, we were pacing you, you were flying." 1550 01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,760 (officer #2) You were flying back there on Sahara, 1551 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:31,160 you were going at least 60. 1552 01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:32,760 -...speed limit? -Yeah. 1553 01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:33,880 Then a few seconds later, 1554 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,200 "Oh, you were going 65 miles per hour." 1555 01:04:36,200 --> 01:04:39,680 (officer #2) Yeah, you were going at least 65. 1556 01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,560 And then when the officer shows up, 1557 01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,999 "Oh, they were going 55." 1558 01:04:44,999 --> 01:04:46,600 So which is it? 1559 01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:48,999 (music) 1560 01:04:48,999 --> 01:04:53,280 (Cal) Unfortunately, Las Vegas has a very, very sad history 1561 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,680 in terms of race. 1562 01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:57,160 My client was an African American 1563 01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,999 who had been booked into the Clark County Detention Center 1564 01:05:00,999 --> 01:05:05,130 as Bill with the n-word as his middle name. 1565 01:05:05,341 --> 01:05:06,560 The judge was incensed 1566 01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:09,760 because when the case came in for the arraignment, 1567 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,120 he originally called him by this name 1568 01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,440 that an officer thought was appropriate 1569 01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:15,683 to book him under. 1570 01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,400 I'm terrified to be around those cops, you know, 1571 01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:19,760 if they pull me over I'm like, 1572 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,208 "I could be the next one," you know? 1573 01:05:22,249 --> 01:05:23,600 Even though I might not have did nothing, 1574 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:25,999 they might have stopped me for a broken tail light. 1575 01:05:25,999 --> 01:05:28,480 Next day, you know, whatever they tell the press 1576 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:29,440 is what I did. 1577 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:31,440 And I might didn't do nothing but reach in my pocket 1578 01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,200 for my driver's license and they shoot me up 1579 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:35,520 and then, you know, I'm the next guy that, 1580 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,680 "Oh, he reached for something." 1581 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,080 It's hard to be black out here right now. 1582 01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:41,800 (music) 1583 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,600 The guy that got shot at the 7-Eleven, 1584 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,480 he was actually a coworker of my brother's. 1585 01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,520 They used to cook together at Union Plaza. 1586 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,840 He was actually cooking until he got shot. 1587 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,800 And he said when he went in the store, 1588 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,480 he just grabbed something to snack on. 1589 01:05:54,652 --> 01:05:56,033 He said when the police opened the door, 1590 01:05:56,074 --> 01:05:58,689 told him to, "Freeze, freeze," he panicked. 1591 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:02,840 (music) 1592 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:04,480 The next thing you know, he's shot. 1593 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:05,560 (gunshot) 1594 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,920 (music) 1595 01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,200 (Rhett) They shot the wrong guy. 1596 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:13,200 Antoine Hodges was not the homicide suspect 1597 01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:14,800 that they were looking for. 1598 01:06:14,841 --> 01:06:15,999 After he was on the ground, 1599 01:06:15,999 --> 01:06:17,960 they put a knee in his back, handcuffed him, 1600 01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,040 and then had an officer go in front of the public 1601 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,999 and justify to the public why they shot him 1602 01:06:22,999 --> 01:06:24,526 even though he was the wrong guy. 1603 01:06:24,567 --> 01:06:26,120 As, again, the clerk stated he heard 1604 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,120 Officer Evans yell out several times 1605 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,520 for Hodges to show him his hands. 1606 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:33,400 The clerk stated that Hodges still didn't comply 1607 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,480 and he stepped backward further into the store, 1608 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,840 stepping slightly behind a merchandise rack. 1609 01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:40,999 (Norm) And the police department 1610 01:06:40,999 --> 01:06:42,198 tried to put a positive spin on it 1611 01:06:42,239 --> 01:06:44,879 by saying, "See, his arm went behind his back. 1612 01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:48,080 The officer has a split-second to make that decision, 1613 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:49,640 and he chose to fire." 1614 01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:50,999 (gunshot) 1615 01:06:50,999 --> 01:06:53,560 (music) 1616 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:55,840 You get a breaking point, you know, 1617 01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:57,360 there's a critical mass. 1618 01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,560 (music) 1619 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:00,520 So much violence, 1620 01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,320 so many questionable shootings, 1621 01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,040 so little of accountability to the public 1622 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:06,999 has reached a breaking point. 1623 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,999 The only hope right now to really rapidly repair that 1624 01:07:10,999 --> 01:07:13,360 is to have a new sheriff. 1625 01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,840 November is the time to elect a new sheriff 1626 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,400 and give him a chance to change Metro for the better. 1627 01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:27,400 (music) 1628 01:07:29,999 --> 01:07:32,398 (Rhett) There was a group of officers in the department 1629 01:07:32,439 --> 01:07:33,440 that wanted change, 1630 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,433 and they knew that if Joe Lombardo was elected sheriff 1631 01:07:36,474 --> 01:07:37,720 there wouldn't really be change 1632 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,080 because he's basically a clone of Doug Gillespie. 1633 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,280 So they decided to go out and recruit Larry Burns 1634 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,600 to run against Joe Lombardo. 1635 01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:47,320 (music) 1636 01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,920 That group that encouraged me to run for sheriff, 1637 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,760 that had the greatest impact on me, 1638 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:54,999 because what they saw in me 1639 01:07:54,999 --> 01:07:57,560 or what they saw in what we were doing is that, 1640 01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:01,640 "Captain, if you can do what you are in the process of doing 1641 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,360 here at Bolden Area Command, 1642 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:06,160 this one little sliver of this county, 1643 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,320 how great would it be if you could do it 1644 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,760 for the entire county?" 1645 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,160 We don't need more arrests 1646 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,440 to make this a safer community. 1647 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,160 We need better relationships. 1648 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,999 We can restore the kind of faith in this community 1649 01:08:18,999 --> 01:08:22,480 so that everyone who sees something says something, 1650 01:08:22,480 --> 01:08:25,360 everyone who hears something says something. 1651 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,000 And I promise you as sheriff I will listen, 1652 01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:31,680 I will reboot the Metropolitan Police Department 1653 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,200 on the first day that I walk into that office. 1654 01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:36,640 (cheering, applause) 1655 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,116 (dramatic music) 1656 01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:41,000 (Troy) Everybody is 100% backing Larry. 1657 01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,999 Everybody I've talked to, it's department-wide, 1658 01:08:43,999 --> 01:08:44,999 and everybody's saying, like, 1659 01:08:44,999 --> 01:08:47,214 there's no way--no way they're gonna let him lose. 1660 01:08:47,255 --> 01:08:48,560 Everybody's standing behind him. 1661 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,800 This is the best candidate since Jerry Keller. 1662 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:53,520 One of the greatest sheriffs that ever was 1663 01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:56,600 in the history of Las Vegas Metropolitan Department, 1664 01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,800 please welcome Jerry Keller to the stage. 1665 01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:02,520 (cheering, applause) 1666 01:09:10,647 --> 01:09:13,647 I've known Larry for all of his 28 years. 1667 01:09:13,688 --> 01:09:15,522 He was a leader when he was a police officer, 1668 01:09:15,563 --> 01:09:16,506 an informal leader, 1669 01:09:16,547 --> 01:09:18,107 he was a leader when he was a sergeant, 1670 01:09:18,194 --> 01:09:19,958 he was a SWAT commander for seven years 1671 01:09:19,999 --> 01:09:23,315 and led numerous operations that saved lives. 1672 01:09:23,356 --> 01:09:24,600 And now he's been the captain 1673 01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:26,720 of Bolden Area Command for three years, 1674 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:28,205 where for the first time in recorded history 1675 01:09:28,246 --> 01:09:29,480 crime has gone down, 1676 01:09:29,480 --> 01:09:31,200 violent crime has gone down. 1677 01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:34,160 (cheering, applause) 1678 01:09:35,480 --> 01:09:37,640 The new sheriff of Clark County, 1679 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:38,840 Larry Burns. 1680 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:41,320 (cheering, applause) 1681 01:09:44,491 --> 01:09:45,999 In this election, you know, 1682 01:09:45,999 --> 01:09:47,999 Gillespie anointed Joe Lombardo, 1683 01:09:47,999 --> 01:09:50,600 and I think he was really surprised that the, uh, 1684 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,520 police unions didn't support Joe Lombardo, 1685 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:54,800 they support Larry Burns. 1686 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:55,999 When I was a police officer 1687 01:09:55,999 --> 01:09:57,040 and I worked anywhere near 1688 01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:58,360 or around Joe Lombardo, 1689 01:09:58,360 --> 01:09:59,400 it was very easy to see 1690 01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:00,999 that he was the type of officer 1691 01:10:00,999 --> 01:10:01,920 that was condescending, 1692 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,960 was rude and disrespectful to other police officers, 1693 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:07,480 and that's the last thing that we need as a sheriff. 1694 01:10:07,480 --> 01:10:10,480 I worry that if Joe Lombardo is elected sheriff, 1695 01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:12,999 how many good police officers that have the tenure 1696 01:10:12,999 --> 01:10:15,320 and have the ability to retire are gonna retire? 1697 01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:19,240 I'll tell you right now, if Joe Lombardo gets elected sheriff, 1698 01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:20,999 Laurie Bisch is retiring. 1699 01:10:20,999 --> 01:10:21,800 (music) 1700 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:23,999 Joe's done a lot of damage to our police department. 1701 01:10:23,999 --> 01:10:26,999 He was in charge of a $40 million radio system 1702 01:10:26,999 --> 01:10:27,920 that is no longer working. 1703 01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:30,920 And now Motorola's coming in and taking over 1704 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:32,800 and implementing a new radio system, 1705 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:34,080 and I just find it really interesting 1706 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,320 that Motorola's a big contributor 1707 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:37,999 to Joe Lombardo's campaign. 1708 01:10:37,999 --> 01:10:39,999 The establishment usually goes with 1709 01:10:39,999 --> 01:10:42,640 whoever the anointed sheriff's candidate is, 1710 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,320 whoever the current sheriff anoints, 1711 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:45,480 and when I mean establishment 1712 01:10:45,480 --> 01:10:48,200 I'm talking about big casino money. 1713 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,080 Crime is bad for business in Las Vegas. 1714 01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,200 In fact, pretty much anything negative in the headlines 1715 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:54,320 is bad for business. 1716 01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:55,480 So if you have a sheriff 1717 01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:56,480 that can kind of spin things 1718 01:10:56,480 --> 01:10:58,240 the way that they need to be spun, 1719 01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,000 then you can keep that negativity and crime 1720 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,600 out of the headlines and keep the registers ringing. 1721 01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,000 (Kelly) They cover up a lot of stuff because they don't want 1722 01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:07,999 to scare away potential customers. 1723 01:11:07,999 --> 01:11:10,960 They want everybody to come here and feel safe. 1724 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:11,880 (music) 1725 01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,920 (Bill) When you have 43 million people plus 1726 01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:16,560 going to Las Vegas every single year 1727 01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,480 to have a good time, spend a lot of money, 1728 01:11:19,480 --> 01:11:21,280 we're talking billions of dollars, 1729 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,560 and nobody wants to risk that. 1730 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,320 (music) 1731 01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,049 The big money out there absolutely ensures, 1732 01:11:28,090 --> 01:11:29,399 through the elections, 1733 01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:31,346 that one of their boys always gets elected 1734 01:11:31,387 --> 01:11:32,747 to be sheriff. 1735 01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,520 (Rhett) The way campaign finance works here in Nevada 1736 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:39,840 is an individual or a business can give up to $10,000 1737 01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:40,999 to a sheriff's candidate. 1738 01:11:40,999 --> 01:11:42,960 Power brokers want to give more. 1739 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:43,920 And there's a way around that. 1740 01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,999 What they do is they often own multiple entities 1741 01:11:46,999 --> 01:11:49,720 and they can take that $10,000 limit 1742 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,240 and do it from every single entity 1743 01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,200 and end up giving the candidate a lot more 1744 01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:55,999 than they're supposed to be able to. 1745 01:11:55,999 --> 01:11:57,760 For instance, the Fertitta brothers. 1746 01:11:57,760 --> 01:11:59,240 They own Station Casinos. 1747 01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:00,360 In this particular election, 1748 01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,360 they gave Joe Lombardo over $100,000. 1749 01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:06,280 They did it by simply funneling $10,000 1750 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,520 through each one of their businesses to that candidate. 1751 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:10,320 Is it legal? 1752 01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:11,800 Yes, they legally can do that. 1753 01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,999 But the law was written to prevent that very thing. 1754 01:12:14,999 --> 01:12:16,160 But if you're Joe Lombardo, 1755 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:17,840 you're not particularly concerned 1756 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:18,762 whether it's ethical or not 1757 01:12:18,803 --> 01:12:19,999 because, after all, 1758 01:12:19,999 --> 01:12:23,160 this is a candidate that his main slogan was, 1759 01:12:23,160 --> 01:12:25,560 "Endorsed by Law Enforcement." 1760 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,999 The truth of the matter is the police union 1761 01:12:27,999 --> 01:12:29,999 actually took a vote of its members 1762 01:12:29,999 --> 01:12:32,960 to see who it was going to endorse for sheriff. 1763 01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:37,560 96% of the entire police union that voted 1764 01:12:37,560 --> 01:12:38,520 voted for Larry Burns. 1765 01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:43,680 So, when Joe Lombardo says, "Endorsed by Law Enforcement," 1766 01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:44,999 technically he's correct. 1767 01:12:44,999 --> 01:12:47,840 Four percent of law enforcement endorsed him, 1768 01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:49,920 maybe the mall cops in Mesquite 1769 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:50,920 or something like that. 1770 01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,920 So now the average person, "Joe Lombardo. 1771 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:54,960 Oh, the cops are behind him. 1772 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:56,920 He's endorsed by law enforcement." 1773 01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,000 It's an absolute lie. 1774 01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,200 Larry's definitely the underdog in this race. 1775 01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:04,999 He's outspent, he doesn't have the endorsement of the sheriff, 1776 01:13:04,999 --> 01:13:05,999 which has typically been the way 1777 01:13:05,999 --> 01:13:08,960 that our next sheriff is elected here in Clark County. 1778 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,999 You have the outgoing sheriff 1779 01:13:10,999 --> 01:13:13,200 who is trying to get his boy elected. 1780 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:15,600 The rest of the department doesn't want it, 1781 01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,000 but that's where the money flows, unfortunately. 1782 01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,200 (bright music) 1783 01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,800 (music) 1784 01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:27,400 This girl right here comes with these children 1785 01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:29,760 every single week. 1786 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,080 She's got these little ones in tow. 1787 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:34,600 That's your backpack? 1788 01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:36,160 Gosh, that's great. 1789 01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:37,720 People like Laurie Bisch 1790 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:38,960 work a graveyard shift 1791 01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,040 and then they turn around with very little rest 1792 01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,360 to handle a morning event like this. 1793 01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,400 (Laurie) When you keep focus on, you know, 1794 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:47,520 what the goal is at the end, 1795 01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:48,680 it's worth it, every-- 1796 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,999 every sleepless night is worth it. 1797 01:13:50,999 --> 01:13:53,600 (Larry) I feel like it's it, you know, it's not me, 1798 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,120 it's this thing that we believe in, 1799 01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:57,760 that we're going to push forward, 1800 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,999 and I'm representative of that and that's it. 1801 01:14:00,999 --> 01:14:01,999 (cheering, applause) 1802 01:14:01,999 --> 01:14:03,640 Think, for a moment, with this great army, 1803 01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,880 about every ten minutes that passes by on your watch, 1804 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,800 we will have affected about 150 households 1805 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,999 every ten minutes, every ten minutes, 1806 01:14:11,999 --> 01:14:13,240 every ten minutes. 1807 01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:14,520 (Laurie) The results of the latest poll 1808 01:14:14,520 --> 01:14:15,440 that came out from Channel 8 1809 01:14:15,440 --> 01:14:19,800 was Larry was ahead 34%, I believe, to 26%, 1810 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,160 43% were undecided. 1811 01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,080 And, uh, to come out that high in the first poll, 1812 01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,680 being the underdog, it's just phenomenal. 1813 01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:28,360 It's all about the team pulling together 1814 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:31,560 and you have 5,000 employees that are out there 1815 01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:33,424 working hard to get Larry Burns elected. 1816 01:14:33,588 --> 01:14:35,573 (chanting "Larry!") 1817 01:14:35,614 --> 01:14:37,734 -Hey, Larry. -Hi, Joe! 1818 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:39,680 (Laurie) We have the one thing 1819 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:40,800 that Joe Lombardo can't buy, 1820 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,360 and that's the support of the men and women in Metro. 1821 01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:44,999 (female in crowd) All right, Burns! 1822 01:14:44,999 --> 01:14:48,280 (Laurie) And that is what is gonna win this election. 1823 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:49,999 (Larry) What does the shirt say? 1824 01:14:49,999 --> 01:14:52,200 -Papa for Sheriff. -Papa for Sheriff. 1825 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,480 Is Papa gonna be the next sheriff? 1826 01:14:55,480 --> 01:14:57,640 -Mm-hm. -Uh-huh. 1827 01:14:57,640 --> 01:14:59,360 -Are you sure? -Yeah. 1828 01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,320 (Larry) Oh, that is so great. 1829 01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:04,440 (soft music) 1830 01:15:04,440 --> 01:15:07,999 (Rondha) I feel in my heart that I need to meet with 1831 01:15:07,999 --> 01:15:10,999 the officer that shot my husband. 1832 01:15:10,999 --> 01:15:12,880 I don't know if it's gonna do me any good, 1833 01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,999 if it's gonna hurt me, or if it's gonna keep me where I'm at, 1834 01:15:15,999 --> 01:15:17,280 but there's something inside me, 1835 01:15:17,280 --> 01:15:18,960 something that's pushing me towards this. 1836 01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:22,999 I've been thinking about it for a good six months. 1837 01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,960 I just want to look in his eyes, I just want to say, "Why?" 1838 01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:30,999 (dark music) 1839 01:15:30,999 --> 01:15:38,999 (music) 1840 01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:53,600 You know, you took from me the only person 1841 01:15:53,600 --> 01:15:55,640 that ever cared I was alive. 1842 01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,080 (music) 1843 01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:00,560 He was the only person who ever cared. 1844 01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,000 (music) 1845 01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,120 My life is so fucked up because of you guys. 1846 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,320 I don't trust in nobody anymore. 1847 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,640 -I'm the same way. -I don't like me 1848 01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,000 because of you guys. 1849 01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:13,956 I don't like who I am. 1850 01:16:13,997 --> 01:16:15,206 I'm sorry. 1851 01:16:15,401 --> 01:16:18,081 What happened that night should never have happened. 1852 01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:20,960 (Rondha) You guys took from my granddaughter. 1853 01:16:21,001 --> 01:16:22,181 She couldn't even see her grandpa 1854 01:16:22,222 --> 01:16:23,077 when she came out here. 1855 01:16:23,118 --> 01:16:25,360 You know how she got to meet him? 1856 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:27,600 She went to his grave site. 1857 01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:29,240 You think that's fair to her? 1858 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:30,640 No, it's not. 1859 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:34,160 (music) 1860 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,640 The thing that really bothers me about the whole situation 1861 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,520 is Metro really never took full responsibility. 1862 01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:40,760 Along with this radio system that-- 1863 01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:42,336 (Rondha) I don't care about the radio--no, no, see, 1864 01:16:42,377 --> 01:16:44,120 that's a cop out right there, you know? 1865 01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,400 Stop blaming the radio station or the radios, 1866 01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:49,120 whatever it was, 'cause you know what? 1867 01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:50,560 The radio didn't shoot my husband. 1868 01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,840 The radio did not take him from me. 1869 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:54,240 You pulled the trigger, not him. 1870 01:16:54,240 --> 01:16:56,280 -Yeah. -And why did you have 1871 01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:57,960 to pull seven shots? 1872 01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:59,080 Why did you have to keep shooting? 1873 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,640 My perception, now that I know after the fact-- 1874 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:02,999 -after it happened-- -After is too-- 1875 01:17:02,999 --> 01:17:05,440 after my life is completely ruined. 1876 01:17:05,440 --> 01:17:06,840 Exactly, mine is too. 1877 01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:08,360 (Rondha) To hear that you got disability 1878 01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:09,999 due to the shooting... 1879 01:17:09,999 --> 01:17:10,840 It wasn't--I mean, 1880 01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:12,480 I felt like I got slapped in the face 1881 01:17:12,480 --> 01:17:14,999 all over again, you know? 1882 01:17:14,999 --> 01:17:16,560 And I'm like what the hell kind of shit is this, 1883 01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:21,400 you're getting disability due to the killing of my husband? 1884 01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:24,640 (music) 1885 01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:26,120 I know that's hard for you to understand. 1886 01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,120 (Rondha) It is, yeah. 1887 01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:30,560 It's not easy remembering this every day. 1888 01:17:30,560 --> 01:17:33,120 (Rondha) I want so bad to be back to who I was, 1889 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:37,999 to be this person that I was when Stan was here. 1890 01:17:37,999 --> 01:17:39,999 (music) 1891 01:17:39,999 --> 01:17:42,160 The car is still in exact same shape 1892 01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,240 as it was the night you guys did this. 1893 01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:47,280 I haven't done anything to it. 1894 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,800 (music) 1895 01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:53,120 The blood is still there. 1896 01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,160 The memories are still there. 1897 01:17:55,160 --> 01:18:03,160 (music) 1898 01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:15,640 (cheering, applause) 1899 01:18:16,647 --> 01:18:18,240 (Dennis) You know, you've got so many people 1900 01:18:18,281 --> 01:18:20,999 that have put so much time and effort into this 1901 01:18:20,999 --> 01:18:24,480 hoping to get that change that not just Larry wants 1902 01:18:24,480 --> 01:18:25,600 but the whole agency wants. 1903 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,040 (Larry) I think we put that message out there 1904 01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:29,800 that resonated with the community, 1905 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:33,360 that the community needs to be part of the police department 1906 01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:37,040 and the police department needs to be part of the community. 1907 01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:38,560 And if we have done that, 1908 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,680 then we have been successful. 1909 01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,840 (cheering, applause) 1910 01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:44,999 (soft music) 1911 01:18:44,999 --> 01:18:45,800 (music) 1912 01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,160 So what's it like to be Larry Burns right now? 1913 01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:49,200 (Larry laughs) 1914 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:54,600 It will be a lot better in about, uh, three hours. 1915 01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,999 Just keeping our fingers crossed, you know? 1916 01:18:56,999 --> 01:19:00,080 Everybody's just waiting for those numbers to post. 1917 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:02,400 (cheering, applause) 1918 01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,240 (music) 1919 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:05,999 (interviewer) You have a grassroots operation. 1920 01:19:05,999 --> 01:19:07,360 That's been a challenge in and of itself. 1921 01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,120 (Larry) It's a challenge, we've been outspent 1922 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:10,840 two to one and look at us tonight, 1923 01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:13,800 so we know who

2253 01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:36,760 the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, 2254 01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:37,760 and the family, 2255 01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,120 and I learned some very interesting things 2256 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,600 about how things work in Las Vegas. 2257 01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:44,960 The Mandalay Bay and the casinos in Vegas 2258 01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,080 give a lot of money to Sheriff Lombardo, 2259 01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:50,080 and because of that, they are treated differently. 2260 01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:55,760 And Sheriff Lombardo protects those high rollers 2261 01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:57,440 that are at those casinos. 2262 01:33:57,440 --> 01:33:59,600 So much so that the casinos 2263 01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,280 don't even have to call normal 9-1-1 2264 01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:06,920 when something happens with a high roller in the casino. 2265 01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:09,840 They get to call a special back number 2266 01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:12,999 that isn't recorded like 9-1-1 is recorded 2267 01:34:12,999 --> 01:34:15,360 and they can protect the identities 2268 01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:17,280 of their valuable customers. 2269 01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,920 So that played an influence in the Vegas mass shooting, 2270 01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:21,999 is that what you're saying? 2271 01:34:21,999 --> 01:34:24,280 From the information I have 2272 01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:27,600 and the way things work in Las Vegas, 2273 01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:30,680 the Mandalay Bay didn't call 9-1-1; 2274 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:32,120 they called police, 2275 01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:36,280 but they called the number that they have 2276 01:34:36,280 --> 01:34:37,160 for high rollers. 2277 01:34:37,160 --> 01:34:39,040 Stephen Paddock was a high roller, 2278 01:34:39,040 --> 01:34:41,080 Stephen Paddock was special, 2279 01:34:41,080 --> 01:34:42,760 and because he was special, 2280 01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:45,200 when that security guard got shot, 2281 01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,120 he was treated special. 2282 01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:49,960 And a different line was called 2283 01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:50,999 other than 9-1-1 2284 01:34:50,999 --> 01:34:55,600 and the 9-1-1 operators didn't have an opportunity 2285 01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,999 to link what happened to the security guard 2286 01:34:58,999 --> 01:35:00,999 to what happened at the event 2287 01:35:00,999 --> 01:35:03,160 because they didn't know about it. 2288 01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,160 Because it was a back line. 2289 01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:07,440 If they would have called 9-1-1, 2290 01:35:07,440 --> 01:35:12,040 the 9-1-1 operator could have linked the two much quicker 2291 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:15,040 and the police could have gotten there quicker. 2292 01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:16,400 Less people would have died 2293 01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:18,080 and less people would have been hurt 2294 01:35:18,080 --> 01:35:21,280 if the Mandalay Bay did not treat 2295 01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:24,480 their high roller, Stephen Paddock, differently 2296 01:35:24,480 --> 01:35:27,600 and if the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department 2297 01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:32,999 didn't allow casinos to treat high rollers differently. 2298 01:35:32,999 --> 01:35:36,040 The politics involved here 2299 01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,560 made more people get hurt. 2300 01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:41,440 This is the narrative that Joe Lombardo 2301 01:35:41,440 --> 01:35:43,600 doesn't want to be released. 2302 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:45,360 But the truth's gonna come out, right? 2303 01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:50,040 If Mandalay Bay's lawyers can twist things, 2304 01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:51,920 they can do damage control 2305 01:35:51,920 --> 01:35:55,999 and they will have to pay less money to these victims. 2306 01:35:55,999 --> 01:35:58,000 Now, is it right? Well, hell no. 2307 01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:00,999 But that's how our justice system works. 2308 01:36:00,999 --> 01:36:03,160 We can only work with the facts we're given 2309 01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:07,120 and guess who's the only person collecting facts right now? 2310 01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:10,999 The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. 2311 01:36:10,999 --> 01:36:15,040 The same entity that is being paid millions 2312 01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:19,240 in campaign donations from these resort casinos. 2313 01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:21,720 You don't think they're protecting each other? 2314 01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,040 Why did Stephen Paddock do this? 2315 01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:26,520 From what I understand, 2316 01:36:26,520 --> 01:36:28,960 Stephen Paddock did this 2317 01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:34,080 because he wanted to hurt these casinos financially 2318 01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:36,440 and this is the best way he knew how. 2319 01:36:36,440 --> 01:36:37,960 I don't think anybody will argue 2320 01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:41,000 that Stephen Paddock was right in the head. 2321 01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,520 (music) 2322 01:36:43,520 --> 01:36:45,920 That's obviously not true. 2323 01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:47,160 (music) 2324 01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:50,999 He decided to do a horrible, horrible thing 2325 01:36:50,999 --> 01:36:53,440 to get back at these casinos. 2326 01:36:53,440 --> 01:36:54,600 (music) 2327 01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,999 It didn't have to be this bad. 2328 01:36:57,999 --> 01:37:01,760 If they would have treated him like anyone else, 2329 01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:05,160 it didn't have to be this bad. 2330 01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:09,880 (solemn music) 2331 01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:12,999 (music) 2332 01:37:12,999 --> 01:37:14,560 (Laura) Joseph Lombardo said 2333 01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:16,200 this guy, Stephen Paddock, the shooter, 2334 01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:20,160 checked into the Mandalay Bay hotel September 28th. 2335 01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:21,840 So then I started digging some more 2336 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:25,720 and I discovered that he actually checked in on the 25th, 2337 01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:28,120 and I was able to receive confirmation 2338 01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:29,999 in the form of valet receipts. 2339 01:37:29,999 --> 01:37:30,960 They're not being honest. 2340 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,960 They are conducting a misinformation campaign 2341 01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:35,440 regarding this Las Vegas massacre 2342 01:37:35,440 --> 01:37:37,560 and I confronted them at their press conference. 2343 01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:39,208 There have been receipts that have been obtained 2344 01:37:39,249 --> 01:37:40,271 from the valet security system-- 2345 01:37:40,312 --> 01:37:42,999 Ma'am, ma'am, that's not how we conduct this service, okay?
