Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Park Ranger tasers hiker....

This guy was a chit head..He had so many other ways he could have handled it rather than the way he did..There are people out there that will not take that kind of chit and he should be aware of it..

Two officers, Conley Elms and Bill Pogue of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, approached Dallas regarding suspected poaching in the rural woods of Idaho. While Elms was inside a tent containing poached bobcats, Pogue drew his weapon. Dallas reacted by shooting Pogue with his own handgun. When Elms exited the tent, Dallas shot him as well.

The degree to which people see this encounter as black and white one way or the other is illuminating, but not inspiring.

Ah, I think I see what's going on here. When a cop enforces a law in the city against someone who doesn't look or act like you, why that's ok. When a cop (Ranger/Game Warden) enforces a law that you have likely broken yourself (poaching, trespassing, habitat destruction) in the environment that you frequent, well now that's overstepping their bounds and the cops deserve to be shot. Got it.

Thank you cooper. Yes, that is funny how when inner city Nigs break the law, 100 percent of this forum says "Lock 'em up."
But when it is a non-negro, committing crimes in the national park, he gets a pass.

Yeah, it's the same mentality. If you or people in your culture mug people, rob liquor stores, steal stuff, why they think there's nothing wrong with that so when a cop tries to arrest them, why that's horrible and police brutality . I guess it's the same when joe six pack shoots a deer out of season, trespasses, steals a tree stand or game camera etc. (you know the stuff that apparently some here do or condone), then THAT'S horrible and police brutality. There's a word for that.

I guess right or wrong depends more on with whom you identify, that what's legal or illegal, moral or unethical.

The guy in the video did none of those things.

He trespassed on an area set aside for protection of it's fragile ecosystem; not different than trespassing on someone else's land and/or shooting an endangered species.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tazee will get paid

I think where he screwed up is threatening him with the taser therefore sending things irretrievably down that path. Perhaps tasers are better used reactive rather than proactive.

Could be the real screw-up was attempting any kind of physical intervention one on one, or two on one if the woman had jumped in, especially as another Ranger was on the way

meaningless comment, your examples are not equivalent in gravity

k, well the outcome was the use of a taser for no legitimate reason

Park Ranger will be asking "Do you what a hot apple pie with that" soon.

When he said "You're not free to go" would piss me off. If you're not FREE to go, what are you? Under arrest?

Good one...boot licking reference. Cant believe it took this crowd so long lol.

Tunnel vision. It can be overcome.

Well they actually are equivalent. When the hiker was told to get back on the trail and that he wasn't allowed where he was, he was trespassing. The area is off-limits because they are trying to protect a sensitive area ie. plants or the ecosystem. So yeah, trespass and protection of a species or ecosystem are in both scenarios/situations and that makes it equivalent. Understand?.

No, not initially, he was being legally detained for having committed a violation and the officer was trying to determine whether he was going to get a warning or a summons. When you get pulled over in your car for a traffic violation are you free to go before the officer completes the stop? No, you are being detained. If you try to drive away before the end of the stop, you will then find yourself arrested and cuffed. If you resist being cuffed, see what happens to ya. My guess, you'll get tased.

trespassing isn't equivalent to a felony except in the fantasy you and the ranger dwell...jaywalk much
