And, he went on to tell me about he was having trouble with his night club and had some kind of curfew put on him and I asked him, I said, Mr. Ruby, you are Jewish, aren't you, and he said, yes. I said well, there is a gentleman here in town by the name of Julius Schepps that might be able to help you, if there is nothing bad wrong with you, so I suggested that he go see Mr. Schepps, and he did, and he seemed to get his trouble straightened out.

  • Case Closed Or Evidence Ignored? John H. Davis
    CASE CLOSED OR EVIDENCE IGNORED? JOHN H. DAVIS CASE CLOSED OR EVIDENCE IGNORED? Gerald Posner's book, CASE CLOSED - Lee Harvey Oswald and The Assassination of JFK, is essentially a lawyer's prosecutorial brief against Oswald as the lone, unaided assassin of President Kennedy, emphasizing the slender evidence for his sole guilt, and downplaying, even ignoring, the substantial body of evidence that suggests he might have had confederates. The book contains nothing new except a wildly implausible theory of the first shot fired at the presidential motorcade in Dealey Plaza. Essentially the book is a re-hash of a thirty-year-old discredited theory that repeats many of the failings of the Warren Commission's deeply flawed 1964 investigation. Along the way Mr. Posner is guilty of gross misstatements of fact and significant selective omission of crucial evidence. Mr. Posner's new theory of the first shot is perhaps the most implausible of any JFK assassination writer, including the wildest conspiracy theorists. Posner would have us believe that Lee Harvey Oswald's first shot was fired between Zapruder film frames 160 and 166 through the foliage of a tree and was deflected away from the presidential motorcade by a branch. Any marksman knows that his first shot at a target is always 2 his best shot because he has time to aim without the interference of having to operate the bolt in a hurry to load. Posner would have the marksman Oswald take his first shot through a thicket of tree branches and leaves when he couldn't clearly see his target.

In 1910, 41% of its residents had been born outside America.

  • Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Met Its Share of Challenges in 2014
    LAS VEGASLas Vegas METROPOLITAN Metropolitan POLICE Police DepartmentDEPARTMENT || 11 2 || 20142012 ANNUAL ANNUAL REPORT REPORT - Douglas- Dedicated C. Gillespie: to our Overcoming Community Adversity Message from the Sheriff The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department met its share of challenges in 2014. With the opportunity to lead this organization as its 7th Sheriff, I am proud that we have withstood and overcome so much. Last year, LVMPD weathered budget cutbacks. The ratio of officers to citizens dropped to record lows. And, a heated battle between rancher Cliven Bundy and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management placed us in the middle of an intense standoff that endangered officers’ lives. The largest tragedy last year and arguably in the history of this agency was the brutal slaying of officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo. The tragedy of that moment reminded the community of the real dangers officers face and reminded us that most of our community supports us. We also underwent several key changes organizationally. The body-worn camera pilot program was launched and the new radio system came online last year, making us more technologically advanced than ever before. All of these changes come at a time when more criminals are willing to confront police and where there’s a national conversation about police use of force. Looking ahead, my number one priority is to secure the level of funding needed to put more officers on the streets and ensure Patrol has the backup it needs. The largest change on the horizon is our move toward decentralization, which will allow officers to be area- focused and share information in real time.

  • Tippet Was Waiting Fcr a Signal from "The Finger" Regarding Oswald's Whereabouts
    Tippet was waiting fcr a signal from "the finger" regarding Oswald's whereabouts. Lee began to realize that he had been "patsied" and was scheduled to be eliminated entirely,very shortly. When Tippet drove-off, Oswald ran into the house with unusual haste, changed his clothes, and grabbed his Smith & Wesson .38 caliber revolver. Earline saw him leave about 2 minutes after he entered. A few seconds later, she went to the window and noted the direction in which he was heading. Seven minutes later Tippet was back - this time she was able to point him in Oswald's direction. Tippet found Oswald at 1:15 P.M., about one mile from the rooming-house, and pulled over to where Oswald was walking. Tippet motioned to Oswald, beckoning him to approach his car. When he did, Tippet looked at him through the right front window. Upon recognizing Oswald, Tippet got out and started to walk around the front of the car. As Tippet reached the left front wheel, Oswald pulled out his revolver and shot Tippet in the heaxl and stomach four times. Tippet died instantly. Oswald emptied the spent shells from his revolver, then re- loaded it, while he was making his escape. As he passed a taxi-driver parked on the corner he muttered "Poor dumb cop" to himself. Oswald knew that Tippet was merely a pawn in someone else's game. At least nine persons saw Oswald in the vicinity of the Tippet shooting with a smoking gun in his hand. A taxi driver, two housewives, a used car salesman and four of his customers picked Oswald out of a line-up that night.
