It will be interesting to watch unfold, that is for sure.
Once again, prayers and condolences to the family. That's all WE can offer. But what they crave is Justice. And a large monetary award coming from the Taxpayers of the County is not sufficient.

Fox News reporting on it as I type.
ETA: Only thing new is that their lawyer, Gerry Spence says;"The settlement will not be cheap". The only thing new is about a monetary settlement. So much for the "justice" y'all were craving One of y'all need to warn him about " waiting for all the facts to come in" out of "respect for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights". He's an attorney. He should know.

The FBI has investigated every officer involved shooting I know of. So the FBI investigates every time a cop shoots somebody? Or am I missing something in what you're saying? As far as I know. There are 36,000 FBI agents and a few hundred people killed by LE year, so it's not hard.

The FBI has investigated every officer involved shooting I know of. It does show how that agency has pivoted priorities under Obama. Cp't Powell's "that I know of" covers a bunch of pre Obama years. He's pretty old. Right?  The difference is the media. There is no accountability for them lying anymore. In my whole life I've never heard of them being accountable for their lies and inaccuracies, which have been many!

End the War on Drugs and the militarization of LE. And reform LE's rules of engagement. For starters, if LE steps in front of an escaping suspect's vehicle, intending to either stop or kill him, prosecute him for murder/attempted.

It looks like the statistics were dead on [no pun intended] as far as Mr. Yantis vs. the Deputies who killed him:
The 10 Deadliest Jobs: Deaths per 100,000
1. Logging workers: 128.8
2. Fishers and related fishing workers: 117
3. Aircraft pilot and flight engineers: 53.4
4. Roofers: 40.5
5. Structural iron and steel workers: 37
6. Refuse and recyclable material collectors: 27.1
7. Electrical power-line installers and repairers: 23
8. Drivers/sales workers and truck drivers: 22.1
9. Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers: 21.3
10. Construction laborers: 17.4
Jack Yantis, spending his life in TWO of the deadliest occupations in the country,Logging and Ranching, certainly succumbed before the cops, who's jobs rank pretty far down as far as fatalities.
In fact, they rank lower as far as death from homicide than the general population, according to FBI statistics.
Cops are murdered at a rate of 3 per hundred thousand.
For the general population, it is 5.3 per hundred thousand.
Looks like the rest of us have more cause to be concerned about "going home at the end of our shift" than does the average cop.

I'd question even those numbers given there is no official federal data base as to the numbers and most are not reported inter agency.
Guess work!

Phil Links are provided for every death. Most I read seemed to have had it coming. Just providing the link, not making judgments here. Net has more that seems to substantiate these numbers.

That's the standing army our forefathers warned us about right there, not even figuring in all the TSA.
