Las Vegas, Nevada: A
World War Two veteran who said he was roughed up by a police officer filed a
lawsuit claiming he was handcuffed and slammed to the ground because of a 311
call. His wife said that the officers eventually let her husband out of the
cuffs, but didn’t arrest him. She said the officer also didn’t take a report.
“Unfortunately,” their lawyer said, “in our city there is an issue with police
using excessive force against the citizens, for instance in 2011 there were
over 1,000 complaints of excessive force.” ow.ly/kKQfp
