You had 15 years to get ready and failed. 40% already implemented.Īnalysis: Great, about time. The 158-page report with 93 recommendations. It’s the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The only police officer we are told who fired his weapon that night was the SWAT officer who had an accidental discharge of a three-round burst after making entry into Stephen Paddock’s suite, one hour and five minutes after the last shots were fired.Įxcerpts from the extremely informative press briefing The result is the worst mass shooting in modern American history, because one lone gunman fired from his sniper’s nest on the 32 nd floor of his MGM Resorts International (MGMRI) owned Mandalay Bay Hotel suite for over ten minutes unimpeded, killing 58 people and wounding almost 500 others. It’s commendable that they have now addressed those concerns, but the big question is why the complacency and incompetence of the LVMPD’s leadership over the years. If that wasn’t enough to grab the attention of the police hierarchy here in Sin City, maybe the threats against the city made by terrorist groups that ran in the pages of magazines like Inspire and Dabiq should have given them a heads up.Įven after all these years to prepare, on Octowe had a shortage of trauma kits, police radio problems and the list goes on. The 2008 Mumbai, India terrorist attack, which by the way, taxpayer dollars paid for a member of the LVMPD command to travel there for lessons learned, numerous other terrorist attacks and active shooter incidents in this country, yet the October 1 Las Vegas Massacre was the most catastrophic failure by police and security response to an active shooter incident in US history. Mahal Hotel with a closeup of the Wasabi restaurant gutted on the 1st floor following the November 2008 Mumbai attacks December 3, 2008. Millions of dollars in taxpayer money to the police department for training and equipment and how much more in federal grant money God only knows. It was malpractice, to coin Lombardo’s own word, to not have been prepared 15 years after the Septemterrorists’ attacks. It showed us the incompetence of and the failure of leadership within the LVMPD. Lombardo’s press briefing and the subsequent after-action report told us nothing. It would have been more fitting if Lombardo had taken out a classified ad seeking a sheriff for Clark County – because, after the press conference on Wednesday, it’s hard to understand why no one will call for his impeachment. He doesn’t even have the backing of the majority of rank and file cops. Lombardo must have taken an ad out in the Las Vegas Review-Journal based on the great coverage he has gotten in the past two years from this leading public relations firm for this sheriff.

He is just another lying, incompetent politician and according to many LVMPD officers who have spoken to us over the years, wouldn’t make a pimple on a good cop’s ass. The Baltimore Post-Examiner has been the only media outlet that has challenged Lombardo in print and called him out for what he truly is. They are weak, afraid to challenge Lombardo and allowed him to get away with his lies, misleading and inconsistent statements since the Massacre.

It wouldn’t make much difference anyway when you take into account how the spineless Las Vegas media have coddled Lombardo throughout the past eighteen months. This is how Lombardo conducts business, so he doesn’t have to answer questions about the report, just like he did with the release of the departments preliminary and final investigative reports on the Las Vegas Massacre, by releasing them after the press briefings.īy the way, as we reported in several stories both of those reports were a disgrace and an embarrassment. LAS VEGAS - One week after the Baltimore Post-Examiner requested the after-action report on the OctoLas Vegas Massacre, that police sources told us had been completed and as we reported in our July 6 article, ‘ Las Vegas Metro Police announce Hendrex fired one month after Baltimore Post-Examiner broke story,’ Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo held a press briefing Wednesday and announced that the report would be available online after the presser.
