This Is What Happens When Democrats Are In Charge

From the LVRJ:
The Nevada Supreme Court ruling Thursday to strike down the revised coroner's inquest was being viewed as a victory by both proponents and opponents of the fact-finding process.
The high court said the county ordinance was unconstitutional due to a legal technicality, however, it affirmed the inquest did not violate the due process of law enforcement officers.
Richard Boulware, vice president of the Las Vegas NAACP, said the ruling vindicates the revisions made to the process.
Chris Collins, head of the Police Protective Association, said in a statement that the police union, "applauds the Nevada Supreme Court in its ruling that the Clark County coroner's inquest process is a violation of the state constitution."
County commissioners changed the inquest process last year in response to critics who called the previous version biased in favor of police. The new system added a lawyer to represent the family of the dead, an addition that police union leaders said transformed a fact-finding hearing into a fault-finding one.
In the ruling, all seven justices agreed that the "inquest scheme," which now calls for a justice of the peace to oversee the proceedings, "unconstitutionally intrude(s) upon the Legislature's exclusive constitutional authority to determine the jurisdiction of justices of the peace."  http://www.lvrj.com/news/nevada-supreme-court-strikes-down-revised-coroner-s-inquest-process-175820401.html
Before the Clark County commissioners, all Democrats, we had an open inquest system.  This is sytem was was not perfect, at least the inquest was open.
Now, because of the incompetence of the Democrats on the Clark County board, all we have is the District Attorney reviewing police shooting and he does it quietly and without any scrutiny.
Now, we have nothing.  Thanks Clark County Democrats band of idiots.
