I've since heard the rancher took his rifle to finish off the bull. And rancher's wife has had a heart attack. A horrible deal for everybody.

That was very sad and tragic. We will never hear the rancher's side of the story.

I've read a lot more on another site but don't feel comfortable posting here. I believe a deputy and the rancher had a prior dispute.

if you own livestock, you're gonna lose some. most of us have had to put down cattle, horses, dogs---it ain't fun, but gotta be done.

many of us have had livestock hit by vehicles--I think it's probably universal that our first reaction is " My God---is anybody hurt?!"

The sheriff's dispatch called this gentleman---I really gotta doubt he was looking for a confrontation with law officers.

Wow, the Idaho State police running it like the mob. It sounds like Idaho is a good state to avoid if you value your life.

I read the cop's cameras were off. Id suggest that fact supports observers accusations.

I wonder if those deppities were receiving consultation and advice from a former LEO located to the east?

Yet other ranchers aren't rioting, looting, and setting things on fire. Must be a Missouri thing.

We're not all like that here in Misery....

It seems wrong that the two officers are on paid administrative leave.

Sorry, wasn't trying to lump the good in with the bad. Just seems like a lot of things going to hell.
