Adams County pays $2.6 million to slain Idaho rancher’s family

Idaho STATESMAN ^ | 11/28/2018 | Cynthia Sewell

[cowpoke]

Three years after two sheriff’s deputies shot and killed a Council rancher, a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family has been settled for $2.6 million.

Adams County sheriff’s deputies Brian Wood and Cody Roland shot and killed Jack Yantis on Nov. 1, 2015, while the rancher was attempting to put down his bull that had been severely injured in a car crash.

Blue Privilege sticks the taxpayer with the bill, again.

I wish Mrs. Yantis well.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

The Taxpayers hired these murderers.

You are responsible for your employees. If more tax payers would realize that and pay attention they would get fewer of these bills.

[Valpal1]

That is a fair point.

This event really shocked me, there is really something wrong in training when rural deputies shoot the rancher they called to the scene, expecting him to show up with a rifle.

And there is something even wronger, when the state police whitewash it and say there is not enough evidence to prosecute. Total bullshit story.

Wasn’t Ruby Ridge in Idaho?

[Mark17]

Wasn’t Ruby Ridge in Idaho?

Yep, and the FBI got away with that too.

Taxpayers should not pay for this, the pensions and wage garnishments of the officers involved including leadership, should pay for this.

Good luck getting that to add up to $2.6M...

And Lon Horiuchi is still in the Witness Protection Program...

Hard to believe that ass hat 🎩 was a West Point graduate. 👎

[ZULU]

Not enough.
Should do time.

[wita]

Hard to believe that ass hat was a West Point graduate.

...and maybe it points, no pun intended, to how bad things have been at the Point, for how long.

[PCPOET7]

it would be interesting to give the state the ability to garnish wages when a judgment happens against the state when employees engage in criminal activities...of course there is the law of unattended consequences that gives me pause to consider whether it is a good idea or possibly a bad idea. I just don’t know.

[mad_as_he$$]

Nope. He is not. Google it.

[jonascord]

So, he’s still on base at Quantico...

Ruby Ridge

He was a law-abiding, patriotic Green Beret who retired from the Army and went to live in Northern Idaho

They nearly handed him a life sentence

The goons came with a swarm of choppers, laying seige to the entire community

They murdered his pretty, religious wife, shooting her through the head with a sniper rifle as she held her infant daughter

They shot his young son in the back, killing him

But Randy surrendured and had his day in court

The Government Criminals claimed a major part of his life, now you see the old man
