We can’t keep rapists in prison because there isn’t room. Obama just let thousands of felons out because they were undocumented Democrats. It costs probably north of $30,000 per year to keep somebody there. Can’t we have him do something other than prison? It was an elk.
Surprised Officer didn’t get the death sentence. In a few years from now though and Officer doing this type of action(s) could.
Cop shoots dog. No Problem.
Cop shoots an elk. Now THAT’s a problem.
He should lose his position and he should do whatever time is standard for forgery first offense, six months or thereabouts.
There are probably murderers in CO that have served less than 9 years.
Lol
Boulder....even the name is stoned
Speaking of animal abuse, wait until obozo gets more of his idiot Democrat buds elected to congress.
This is MUCH BIGGER than a Nevada rancher’s fight with fedzilla! This is how TOTALITARIAN STATES ULTIMATELY TREAT HUMAN BEINGS!
Velcome to ze new Amerika!!
YOU FOLKS HAD BETTER WAKE UP. Hitler convinced a Versailles Treaty abused and beaten down German people to “elect” over 100 of his supporters to the Reischstag in 1933. They then quickly voted Hitler Chancellor and within WEEKS moved to LEGALIZE every one of his formerly ILLEGAL actions. If you DO NOT think that can happen here, you just haven’t been paying attention to what’s been going on in Washington and our alleged “congress” — or, more accurately, what HAS NOT been going on there. Can you say “IMPEACHMENT”?
And for any seeing this who are not sensitive to the proper care and feeding of our animals who reply that all these critters were destined to wind up on a dinner plate, terrifying them with low flying helicopters to shoot and often wound them is NOT humane treatment.
Did he profile and stalk the elk? He might have gotten off easy.
Well pretty blatant abuse of power. I wouldn’t give him the death penalty but how about making him stand on the street corner everyday for a month with a sign that says “I killed Big Boy”
Headline says nine years; story says six YEARS, and nine CHARGES.
Also, story says “COULD FACE”, which is standard journalese for lumping all of the individual maximum sentences into full maximum consecutive sentences: never happens. Between concurrent sentencing, dropped or reduced (padded) charges, and other factors, he’ll never come close top that six years, let alone nine.
Poaching; shooting wildlife within city limits; forgery; evidence tampering; bribery in some form or other; gross stupidity; terminal sense of entitlement: nail his hide.
Good.
The wife and I drove through a herd of elk in some small Colorado town coming back down from Estes Park a few years ago. They must be pretty plentiful in that part of Colorado.
Seems just a bit stiff, to say the least of it.
(Talk about not knowing your turf!)
These are the tree huggers who didn't want the cougar raiding town shot.
