Henderson Cop Scott Alward Exposed as Liar After Slapping Black Woman

Abusive Cop Exposed by Bodycam Footage

• 🚨 Henderson Police Sergeant Scott Alward is accused of lying about an incident where he slapped a Black woman.
• 💡 Video evidence contradicts Alward's claims that the woman, identified as Nikesha Kelly, attempted to spit on him or was holding a pencil, which he cited as reasons for fearing for his safety.
• ⏳ The Henderson Police Department took nearly three months to release the bodycam footage, a delay that is questioned given the legal obligation to comply with such requests.

Kelly's Arrest and Conviction

• ⚖️ Nikesha Kelly, 37, was convicted of two misdemeanors: resisting arrest and making false statements to obstruct a public officer, after pleading no contest.
• 📅 She spent nearly a month in jail following her October 20th sentencing.
• ❓ The charges against Kelly did not stem from an alleged altercation with her sister, who initially called the police.

Confrontation and Use of Force

• 🚗 Alward approached Kelly, who was standing under a tree, and began barking orders for her to move to the front of his car.
• ⚠️ When Kelly did not comply immediately, Alward threatened physical violence, stating she would be taken to the ground.
• 💥 Alward slapped Kelly hard, knocking her to the ground, after she began walking towards his car and told him not to approach her.
• 🤕 While Kelly was face down on the ground, Alward placed his full body weight on her shoulder, hindering her movement.

Pattern of Misconduct and Previous Shootings

• 🔫 Sergeant Alward has a history of controversial shootings, including an incident in August 2019 where he fired 12 shots at a teenager who was not armed, but possibly holding a personal speaker.
• 🔍 The discussion highlights a broader pattern of alleged misconduct and racial bias within the Henderson County, Nevada Police Department, citing past lawsuits and incidents involving the department.
• 🗣️ The speakers suggest that solving police issues requires better hiring practices, increased training, and potentially federal investigations, rather than simply defunding or refunding the police.
