The obvious question which of course wasn’t asked is; If the allegations against the trooper were true (taser, threats, personal injuries) then why WASN’T he fired?

Is this typical of troopers in Alaska?

Answer: Powerful Alaska Trooper's Union.

I read somewhere recently that the original punishment for Wooten was a mere slap on the wrist - 10 days suspension. But even that was too much for the Union. They made a big stink and got it reduced to just 5 days. What kind of a message does this send to Wooten and any other bad-apple Troopers who abuse their office?
