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.

Killing the elk was one thing... trying to abuse his status as a cop in an effort to get away with it is, IMHO, a much more serious crime.

You stole my thunder. I was going to add that we have a US Marine in prison in Mexico for making a wrong turn on the San Diego border but people protest the killing of an elk. People are honestly total self absorb idiots. I simly cannot describe how stupid this is.

I can’t shoot an elk in the Boulder City limits.
The jack booted thug clearly thought he didn’t have to follow the rules that peasants have to follow and I very pleased to see him find out differently.
If he wanted to get away with killing on duty he should have picked a homeless guy or a baby in his crib.

for a hunter or fishermen with integrity, paying for licenses, learning to shoot, learning to hunt, practicing, obeying all the rules and limitations that the state puts out to have a poacher come in and take prize animals is a big fat slap in the face....

why bother with buying licenses, gear, tags, taking time off from work just to have cheats step in and help themselves...

9 yrs sounds long, but this arrogant cop at least needs a year or two and a huge fine plus denial of hunting priviledges for many years.

I don't see the elk as the problem. This is: forgery, tampering with evidence, and attempting to influence a public official.

The guy shot the elk inside the city with an AR-15. .25 caliber is the smallest legal big game round in Colorado. Then there was a forged tag for road kill, lies and a cover up.
