Sad that Clark County managers don't take complaints about bullying and retaliation complaints seriously if another manager is implicated. They could have stopped this before it went too far.

Who said we should trust elected government officials? In fact, we should NEVER trust elected officials. They require constant scrutiny.

GREAT POLICE WORK BY THE LAS VEGAS POLICE DEPARTMENT.

An almost 3 minute "news report" & not
one mention of Telles's party affiliation. That tells me he wasn't a Republican.

Was Telles a Democrat Attorney Politician?

“How to tell if someone is lying.” Watch his eyes.

Hey Look !
It's Uncle Fester disquised as a honest 'Elected Official' !

Only politicians are let out of jail after killing someone. Does anyone else see favoritism here.

[kevingoldsmith]

Gosh, you almost forgot to mention that the murderer is a Democrat!

[briannam.]

Did this news station happen to mention that the murderer was an elected democrat official and that the journalist had been investigating his corruption ?

[barefoot]

Stand off and self inflicted wounds = GUILTY

[stephensundayjr]

Why do I feel like if he was a republican it would've been mentioned several times

[davidchavez]

This is the majority of public officials if you dug deep enough.

The role of journalism in choosing our elected officials is made clear in a story like this. It sometimes comes at a great cost. Other countries' journalists are often threatened with violence.

The whining trolls can't help themselves - forgive them.

[dakotatheplumber]

Notice how none of these news stations mention the suspected murderer is a democrat politician.
