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. Status of Case as of 1 JAN 2009 One of LVMPD Officers are still working active , armed duty at the airport; the other has been promoted to weapons instructor and now teaches at the academy. Neither faced direct criminal, civil or administrative action. The third Metro Officer laughing in the second video is listed as a witness since he did not get himself involved, it's legal (but unprofessional) to laugh at someone's pain. Neither Metro nor SGT England have successfully been able to bring a lawsuit against the other. *LVMPD found itself "exonerated" *The Clark County Citizen's Review board found in favour of Metro. *Attorney Cal Potter was representing Sgt. Mark England in the lawsuit against Metro, but dropped him as a client The LVMPD Officer named as the cause are Jennings and Clark who beat and tased the Sgt. respectively. *The District Attorney's Office says that LVMPD does not have enough evidence to pursue charges of violation of airport rules (more specifically: interference with security procedures) and resisting arrest. *OCT 13 Exclusive information obtained - Cal Potter is no longer the attorney for Mark England Date of Occurrance: March 7, 2007 Date of Report: May 2007 Originally Posted: May 7, 2007 Reposted July 10, 2008; because youtube didn't have HD video in 2007 AJ's Comment ---------------------- If you are to believe the SGT this is what you have to believe. -He was polite the whole entire time, he never yelled and was never aggressive in his speaking despite the objections of 12 TSA agents and 3 Metro officers -The TSA Supervisor, despite being a Lt. during the veitnam war, lied about being in the Army 
-There is no such thing as calling yourself a by the rank in which you left the service -England was not drunk despite 13 TSA Officers and 3 Metro Officers swearing on affidavits that they all thought he was drunk -England was not aggressive or threatening when demanding the supervisors supervisor -The Metro Officers intentions of taking england to an area about 25 feet away from his podium was not to talk to him privately to avoid further embarrassment to the SGT, but because there is no good camera angles there and he plans on beating the SGT -There isnt another camera located to the left of the incident that gives a clearer picture -England showed absolutely no resistance at all when the Metro officer tried to handcuff him -The TSA directed people away from the checkpoint, not to protect England from being trampled, but so that there could be no witnesses -All 12 TSA Agents were told what to say, or otherwise phrased their statements to match with this story -Both Metro Officers abused him for no good reason -The TSA and Metro conspired together to come up with a story to make England look bad
