“I live just off the reservation, we have a lot of reservation people around us who are not good people.”

This comment is why he is being prosecuted. They are just using this incident to get rid of him.

TBH, though, the guy is unstable and needs to go.

Stupid kids AND stupid sheriff.

No, I'd say stupid 'youth group leader' AND stupid sheriff.

If you're going to do the turkey thing at all, for Pete's sake, don't do it at 8pm.

Let's forget for a minute that a Sheriff was involved. If you or I acted like this Sheriff, what do you think the consequences would be?

I understand that law enforcement can come under great strain. However, if they can't handle it or they believe their badge gives them a green light to act any way they want - then they have no business being a cop.

“One could maybe understand if this happened in some crime ridden ‘hood, but Blackfoot, Idaho? It is a quiet little town mostly populated by Mormonites.”

The crime rate in Blackfoot is apparently quite high:

Yes, and this was a Mormon youth group who was putting up the turkeys. The parents of those girls are going to make sure his career is done. (and with good reason if this is how his decision making goes)

Out West the hatred of American Indians outperforms hatred of blacks in the old South. This inherited hate remains from the terrible atrocities committed by both sides during the Western Expansion and the Indian Wars.

Interesting website, but it still proves that while Blackfoot is more dangerous than Idaho as a whole, it is still safer than the U.S. average.

The single statistic which really skews Blackfoot's crime rate is rape. Just a few extra incidents in a town this small will really do that.

The demographics of certain minorities can really do that as their idea of what constitutes rape and the majority population's idea of what constitutes rape differs considerably.

You’re nuts and a real authoritarian if you believe this jerk of a sheriff acted properly. You might want to get some help for your sociopathic tendencies.

And yet he managed to get the “drunk Indians” meme into his little excuse(s).

Sadly, there are cops who believe they can act above the law. Sadly, we have internal affairs departments and courts who exhonerate criminal cop behavior.

Out in the middle of the street in his “Long Johns and socks.”

Not sober, not in control, especially when he saw a car with a woman driver and 4 youn girls. Grabbed her by the hair and put the gun to her head? He needs to be charged with a felony, thrown out of office or fired AND horse whipped by a man who can teach him what it means to terrify a woman and little girls.

Your post is beyond insulting and nasty....

...but IF you were in law enforcement and officers around the nation were being ambushed, shot, beaten......

..you might not appreciate someone ringing your doorbell at night and disappearing....
...might make you worry a bit

I don’t expect you will apologize but you sure have a familiarity with the ugly.......not a great way to go through life

This guy sure went into a murderous rage in a hurry, and without knowing what if anything the girls had done. Makes you wonder what other power mad crap he’s pulled over the years — he obviously is prejudiced against Native Americans. Any shooting or violence he has ever been involved with needs to be reviewed.
