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

I'm sure there are a lot of departments that'll hire him.

I will give the Government credit, they have successfully blocked all information from the people of Idaho, five months and not a peep if there was even a video camera turned on.

The local people should be raising some serious hell, a man was shot to death in front of his family and dozens of witnesses yet not a peep.

Is the money all that stands between truth and honesty or simply another cover up of government agents killing a citizen?

I'm pretty sure we all know what happened here.

This would have been so much easier if Yantis had been a black man.....

Ain't that the truth.....

There is no reason for this kind of delay other than to construct a cover up, we are taking about an incident that was over in a matter of moments, how and why was this man shot to death?

First you need to create the dash cam malfunctioned story, and be sure you can't be tripped up on that. Then you need to make sure witnesses are convinced "they really don't want to be involved in this" Then you have got to perfect the "he was a violent drunk with a history of violence against LE" story.


In the meantime you send out feelers as to how much of a settlement will his family accept.....

Hey, it takes time. And by the time it comes out, everyone has moved on to Trump and the elections.

Well this might be a place to look.

Wendy J. Olson (born 1964) is the current United States Attorney for the District of Idaho. She was appointed in 2010 by President Barack Obama, replacing Thomas E. Moss. As one of 93 US Attorneys nationwide, she represents the United States in all civil and criminal cases within her district.[2]

This isn't a federal case (yet)......the Idaho "State" Police are investigating the "County" deputies who clearly defended themselves by emptying their weapons into an old man with a bolt action rifle that didn't have a round in the chamber and then threw an old woman to the ground and handcuffed her (which induced a heart attack) when she tried to go to the aid of her dead husband..............the state is currently awaiting DNA tests that will clear the matter up so the Deputies can end their paid vacation and get back to protecting the citizens of Adams county....

That's correct.

The Feds can pursue their own case if they have determined a civil rights violation has occurred.

Murder, and the lesser charges clear down to manslaughter is a state crime. The state prosecutor handles those.

This is the kind of stuff you read about in Iran, or North Korea, WTF.

Do they have two part timers with a shared Ipad doing the investigation?

The huge payout can be the only reason That the Spence team isn't tightening the screws on these "investigators" , Is there no news paper in Idaho, or is it state run also?

Who are the newspapers going to squeeze the story out of on the state, or even federal level?

I'm sure they have tried.

There were plenty of witnesses, according to the early reports, emergency personnel, hospital employees, people do talk.
Hell the road was blocked for hours, some one seen something.

4 months isn't really all that long for a contested cop shooting. Some here take years!

Only because it is accepted, it is a cluster of incompetency, costly and only adds to the controversy.

Are they raising a new bull to butcher slowly. Maybe checking the sugar content of the cops morning donuts, or just wasting a couple of hundred days of bad feelings before releasing a bundle of baffling B.S. full of double talk and non sense of how they just can't see how the dangerous duo had any other choice than kill this slobbering drunk cop hating rebel, before some real damage came to that bull.
And be happy we have well trained men to kill our unruly citizens when they don't follow the orders that they were clearly given.

Well, it took about a year to get the correct story concocted back in 1963, and that was with a "blue ribbon" panel.

10 Months for the Warren Commission.

OMG! REALLY?!

Good post.
