Some more insight on Jack from long time locals.
Several people over two days of interviews in Council said Mr. Yantis, who ran for sheriff himself seven or eight years ago but lost, was also a man who was not about to hold his tongue when he felt wronged.
“There is little doubt, residents and family members said, that Mr. Yantis was a tough man who had lived a tough outdoor life. He lost part of a toe in a logging accident, and just a few years ago when he was in his 50s — and still training horses — he broke his pelvis coming down on a saddle horn when the horse bucked.
He was a good man, he was an honest man, a hard worker, but he did have a bit of a temper,” said Bob Grossen, whose family has been in the Council area since the 1880s. “But if you know Jack, if you grew up around Jack, you know Jack would not be the person who would pull a gun on someone — I have no problem saying that.”
Mr. Yantis’s two daughters described him as a soft-spoken man who rarely raised his voice and who loved his animals. He trained his daughters in gun safety from the age of 5. His idea of Sunday worship was to head into Idaho’s back country.
“Let’s go see what God created,” he would say, his daughter Sarah Yantis, 42, recalled.

" Mr. Yantis, who ran for sheriff himself "....... .
That's interesting. Sounds like he may have run against the current Sheriff.

That's interesting. Sounds like he may have run against the current Sheriff. Zollman, the current sheriff was elected in 2012, so if Mr. Yantis ran for sheriff 8-9 years ago and lost, it probably wasn't to the current sheriff. But there may have been some sour grapes involved at some level.

I thought an article posted here said Zollman was RE-elected in 2012 which would make the time work out.
Guess I was wrong.
Do I have to give the gold stars back?

Seems there a little leery of cows on the road(Hwy 95) near Jacks house, as this deputy shows recently.

This New York Times article (dated 11/18/15) discusses this incident. see: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/18/u...-says-it-was-murder.html?ref=us&_r=0Keep in mind that the deputies were local men who reflected local values; they weren't big city cops with different values. Many (not all) who've posed in this thread have never been to Idaho, or Adams County, or Council and, might be a little fast in condemning the shooting. Let's wait until the investigations are through and a report published.

Most local governments (city and county) are self insured.
The money for payouts come directly from taxpayer dollars. Which makes personnel selection, evaluation and training EXTREMELY important. Or, you pay for the consequences of sloppy hiring.

“We are in a lose-lose situation, not just for the sheriff’s office, but the community,” Sheriff Zollman said. No matter what happens with the state and federal investigations, he said, “there are always going to be people who say we should have acted differently.” Say's it all right there! Phil

Local men who reflected local values? Doesn't sound like that to me. My experience with rural Idahonians ( born there, lived there got family from top to bottom) would suggest that shooting private citizens because they won't bow down isn't likely to reflect local values. GD

He probably read a few posts from the Idaho guys then went to the NY Times to get THE REAL STORY.
It's how he rolls.
Or you could say that it's an example of HIS "local values".

Let's wait until the investigations are through and a report published. What about those that have been to Idaho, council or even the Yantis ranch? Can we have an opinion? If by representing local values you mean beating old men and losing your job only to be hired by another department where the same cop kills an unarmed man....well I don't think those are good values nor do they represent the community's values.
