I saw it and the first thing though my head was anger, it pissed me off and I really don't get angry very much. Thank you for bringing it to my attention and we feel the same way about you.

Between these fools and Harry Reid, I can't think of one good reason to take a vacation in Nevada.

I still ask the question: Why didn't he just throw the soda away and avoid this entire confrontation? Sgt England has no authority to question the airport security when everyone knows that liquids are not allowed on aircraft. Seems that he felt everyone owed him an explanation as to why he didn't have to follow the rules. Being a vet of the Iraq conflict plays no part in this altercation, and Im quite frankly tired of the Englands using this to push their agenda. I have several family in the military and they all find his behavior unbecoming.

An update on my husband/soldier~

Hello to all our myspace friends and family~

We received some very disturbing news this evening from Las Vegas Metro Police Dept.

Sheriff DOUG GILLESPIE & his Internal Affairs Lieutenant,
LT. MICHAEL DALLEY have informed us in writing (letter copy below) that the officer's who BEAT, TASED (3 TIMES), LAUGHED AT AND MIMICKED MY SOLDIER, have been completely EXONERATED and Lt. DALLEY went on further to say that what these officers did to my Soldier was QUOTE 'JUSTIFIED, LAWFUL & PROPER'.

How can these hierarchies of Las Vegas Metro Police Dept. watch the same videos we all have, listen to the same audio we all have, and come to this conclusion.

Please, I am asking you all to please look at these newscast/videos again, listen to the audio (links all posted below) and then read the letter from Sheriff Doug Gillespies' office and tell us what you think.

I am asking you to please stand with us and not accept this. We need your help to spread the word, please update anything you have helped us write about this with this new information. If you should need any other info, please email me and I will gladly provide it. We will also post this information in our blog area!
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support! Love you guys.

This is a complete outrage. Words cannot describe our disgust with this police dept.

Here are the newscast links~

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 Retired Lt. Lied about being in the Army
-There is no such thing as calling yourself a Lt. when you are retired.
-England was not drunk despite 12 TSA Officers, myself and 3 Metro Officers swearing on affidavits that they all thought he was drunk
-England was not aggressive or threatening when demanding the supervisor's 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 isn't 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
