Since when do conservatives rush to judgement on the allegations of an LEO?

Perhaps or perhaps not, the family set this up.

This poster is not convinced. Any time a local official gets in front of national television and rails in any way on some sudden “tough” crackdown on this or that - fact is often it turns out to be driven in large part by political ambition.

Is the family seeking publicity.

Or is the sheriff?...

At the time this happened, I thought the parents were away and the kids got into trouble without their knowledge. Then I found out the parents were home, the dad right there when the balloon lifted off.

If he was there, how did he not know his six year old child wasn’t in the balloon?

As you state, this isn’t over yet, but right now these parents are looking like world class jackasses. We’ll see how it turns out.

If in the end they are found to be innocent, you’ll look like a sage. I don’t think that will be the case, but what the hey...

In the news conference the Sheriff said he had evidence this was a hoax. But due to Colorado law, they can't say what that is.
