Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Idaho rancher killed by deputies over a wounded bull.

It's sure taking them a long time to think up a plausible explanation for LE's actions.

Probably waiting for a balistics report....just in case the gunshots were self inflicted ....

I think that the bull still lives in this thread.

They are going to release a batch of Hillary's emails on New Years Eve. ISP may be watching.

Not attempting to compare incident's except the that both fella's were shot by local Idaho LE and a county sheriff deputy, about 80 miles apart.
How quickly LE releases information on one the next day, and weeks after Yantis we don't even know if a body camera was on..

Is it me, or does something not feel right with this picture?

"Let's see what lie will fly" is the name of the song.

"Shuffle and Jive" is the dance.

2 months friday and not a word.

Because I always thought a lot of lumberjacks. I assumed that they were intelligent enough to know what was right and wrong and had the wherewithal to do the right thing.

Are you saying I shouldn't expect so much of them? Is it because they're too dumb to know right from wrong or too lazy to bother doing the right thing?

Somehow I missed that post..If you are giving the green light to an employed police officer to break the law in any way he feels necessary such as poaching big game animals and letting them waste,that's okay for him to do huh?

Jack on the other hand was convicted of a DUI clear back in the 90's which is not even close in time or severity to a active duty police officer poaching and then wasting the meat.This alone tells me the guy thinks he is a cowboy and can do anything he wishes without reprimand or until he gets caught.

Lumberjacks as you call them, are normal people that work very hard physically to support there families, just as everyone else does.Cops on the other hand are supposed to set an example in following the laws they enforce,not break them as this deputy did.


Coming to a theater near you very soon!

I expect everyone to set an example in following the laws.

That's a novel concept.

Isn't it.

You must not be a Criminal Defense Att'y or a cop.

You'd be out of a job.

What is it about lumberjacks that makes it OK for them to break the law? Because they work hard?

How hard do you have to work before you can break a law?
How big of a law does lumberjacking allow you to break?
If a lumberjack works a double shift, can he break two laws on the way home?
If a cop is a lumberjack on the weekends, how many weekends does he have to work before he can break a law?
I watched a lumberjack show on TV once and learned all about greenhorns, are they only allowed to break little laws until they learn the trade?

It sounds lile indulgences can be bought with hard work rather than money. What other careers buy you indulgences?
I knew a plumber who didn't work very hard but his job was really gross....does that count?
When I removed asbestos for a living my job was hard, but I took about six showers a day so I stayed pretty clean. Does the job have to be hard AND dirty?

Thanks for your responses, this is all very interesting to me.

Cops only have to follow Departmental Policy to escape any retribution under the "Law".

If I commit a homicide, I have to prove it was justifiable.

If a cop commits a homicide, his employer - the State - must prove it was NOT justifiable. And they don't try very hard.

Guilt is assumed, innocence must be proven?

Is that just in murder cases?
Can you show is where that's the law?
Can you point to a case where that happened?

Thanks for your responses, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Your comparing a DUI in the 90's to a 2011 poaching and wasting of meat by an active police officer that is involved in murder now.

A huge difference.

So in another 10 years, the poaching wouldn't matter as much?

Or if the DUI happened last Valentine's Day it would have been pertinent?
