“Good! Die in prison, scumbag.”
How do you know the deputy was a “scumbag?” The guy that they were attempting to arrest was a “scumbag.” I agree the reserve deputy needed some punishment but four years in prison seems a bit much. I live near Tulsa and feel that the old reserve deputy should not have even been on this arrest. However, you labeling him a “scumbag” is a bit much. I hope you never find yourself in a similar situation and have to rely on the judgement of 12.
Jus a note: A 4 year sentence in Oklahoma isn’t really 4 years if you behave. In fact, it can be a LOT less. See https://www.ok.gov/doc/documents/SERVICE%20OF%20SENTENCE%20BROCHURE.pdf
Maybe I was harsh, but a 73 YO CEO on a ‘joyride’ where he got to taze a subdued person - disgusting.
All because he was a deputy 30 years ago for one year.
