The TSA and BATFE send their rejects to the NFS?
I automatically side against fed tree cops ever since the shut down theater crap they pulled.
It’s a mattter of whose story you believe. Maybe they need body cameras.
A retired sheriff's captain did this? LOL, take the same attitude towards a deputy and you'll get the same response he did from the forest service.
Sucks when their own methods are used against them. Must be quite the eye opener.
Back in the 70s it was FS troops that overran several desireable properties that were within or adjacent to federal land that the FS wanted to add to that Federal land. The occupants were killed and the land taken.
Mr. GG2 who is from the West has had numerous run ins with the BLM. He and some hunting buddies had to disarm one of those fools one time. They told him to GTFO and he could pick up his weapon at the sheriff’s office.
Another time a BLM ranger tried to keep Mr GG2 from walking to his mining claim. The arrogant little so and so said it was his forest. Mr. GG2 said “no its the peoples forest and you work for us”. Then the ranger threatened Mr. GG2 and it started to escalate from there until Mr. GG2’s partner came along and said to the BLM guy “ hi I’m so and so attorney at law” and handed him a card. At that point the little weasel left.
I could go on and on. The BLM needs to be shut down. They are a completely rogue agency.
some are very, how should I say it, territorial?
When Gocke complied with Davis’s request for ID and showed Davis his sheriff’s badge, Davis should have done something other than try to jump thru the passenger window. Unless Davis was looking for a disability retirement. Who in the heck tries to jump thru a passenger window? They’re not Daddy trying to take the keys out of the ignition of their son’s car.
The day and age of a forest service or NPS ranger employee driving a work pickup or riding a horse, with a chain saw, maybe a shotgun for protection are just loooooooooooooooooong gone.
The cops have been all sent through FLETC. They are the lefties from college trying to save the animals. Being lefties automatically qualify them as nut jobs. The old rangers of yesteryear are retiring out. The Clintonestas are in. Just wait until the obama college bunch get power.
Now for your question. Yes, the only time in my life where I have ever run into a bad cop was at a federal park. There were a couple just into power. Seldom smiled, very unfriendly. Then there are stories about little sweetie with a badge and a taser, nailing old men walking dogs.
My favorite cops are city and county, and many state. The feds I no longer trust.
Forest Service???
Since when did watching trees become a job for SWAT officers?
Ty Davis is just the kind of asshole that would be perfect for Obama’s “civilian force as large and as well armed as the military”.
Pretty stupid (or drunk) retired police captain if he never learned the rule “you can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride”.
He only had done to him what cops normally only do to ordinary citizens.
