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


No, there could be anything wrong the conduct of the kop, morons! That kop should be send on foot thru Baghdad a couple times along with his supervisors and the entire IEU!!

What a crock of crap. Those morons will probably get away with it. It should be cause for termination and the soldier deserves compensation.

Looks like the cops did wrong to this man. And many of them are very good at being bad.

Still, no matter what it looks like here, I would be very interested to see clear video and hear clear audio with it, from start to finish. There have been too many incidents I've witnessed where you'd swear that things happened a certain way, but then you find out that you were wrong.

I love and respect our veterans. But the footage they have shown is not proof one way or the other.

Glad to see my fellow brothers are being treated with the respect they deserve. This is what we've sacraficed our freedoms for? This country and its systems is such a joke. Those officers should rightfully be terminated. And that Sergeant deserves a public apology at the very least. I hope he has the courage to sue the ever living f*ck out of that department.

not to mention if the cops didn't have weapons and that soldier didn't have decency and honor, that soldier could probably kicked the **** out of both of those cops

I received some of the same training as that Sergeant. He could have ended them had it not been for weapons. But thats not what our training is for. Its just a shame that people give their lives to this country, and get treated so poorly....

i don't know how well the NG trains it members in WL combat - a regular army solder should been capable of doing so at least, i mean big deal: he strikes out you close in, he swings, you catch his arm and trow him over shoulder or hip and punch him in the throat, done - exercised this more then enough during service as millions more did as well. So if the NG training includes any form of hand-to-hand combat training he sure as hell wasn't in a fighting mood at all, just pissed about the disrespect the cops showed to him - so it was the cop that got raged by being challanged by a real solder leading to what we all witnessed on the tape. So to defend the cops of any wrongdoing is just plain stupid in this case (not you Somedude) - the first for beating on the Serge and the second for witnessing a crime yet failing performing his sworn duty to stop such - plain and simple.

Not sure who you're referring to, but I'm not defending the cops. Neither am I stupid. The soldier is likely telling the complete truth, but the video footage that has been show here is not sufficient proof of that. The footage shown here is as clear as mud, has no accompanying audio, and does not tell the whole story. It may be that the whole story can be witnessed on security camera footage, but if that is so, some necessary footage was not shown on that newscast.

While I am personally much more inclined to believe a soldier over a cop (who isn't, I'm often heard to say "f*ck the police"), I have also met a few soldiers who were dishonest, dishonorable, and very successful at hiding it. Some of them had long successful military careers. Being a soldier doesn't automatically mean that he is being completely truthful.

Soldiers protect this country, but we have to be careful to protect our country from the inside as well, or their sacrifice will be for nothing. If the cops here are declared guilty based on the footage shown on that newscast, it flies in the face of 'innocent until proven guilty'.

Police brutality is steady on incline,

Not even trying to hide it nowadays,

Stuff like this makes me sick,

THIS IS WHERE POWER OF THE PEOPLE COME IN!

Boycott's, letters, stop doing buisness with that company, HIT'EM WHERE IT HURTS ,,, IN THE WALLET!

If we took the time to do these things, we would have more say so,
and more respect.
