This has been a pretty bad stretch for Valley area cops.
First, the Metro officer that was cleared in the shooting death of Trevon Cole now finds himself in trouble for falsifying records on a search warrant.

Then yesterday, there was an instance of road rage on the 95 by Eastern in which NHP and Metro had to taser a man and the man later died at a hospital. Several bystanders and officers were injured in the fight.

Finally, a Henderson police officer was arrested for soliciting a prostitute. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/aug/26/henderson-police-officer-accused-soliciting-prosti/
Remember the good old days when cops would actually do their job and they had the respect of the community? It's been awhile here in Vegas.
