[QUOTE="sdkidaho, post: 310631, member: 19932"] If I didn't know better I would think that MontanaRifleman was me... I grew up around Law Enforcement of various sorts, part of that being men who were Game Wardens and my Dad being Law Enforcement officer for his district in the Forest Service. Those men have tough jobs as 99.9% of all their clients (clients being the people they deal with day-to-day) are armed in one fashion or another. The author of the article has the advantage in that he can put the twist on the story as he sees it, knowing full well that the reader has no way of gaining any more information than he does at the time his article is posted. It's quite easy to sway a man with half a story. I find it hard to condone or condemn their actions, simply because I don't have the full story. Yes, it is most certainly a tragedy that [I]that [/I]ram was taken. I couldn't agree more. Beyond that, how can I possibly advocate the officers who were affiliated with this situation be punished for the outcome? There simply isn't enough information for me to make such a decision at this time and I cannot see allowing my emotions to run the show. Most likely I'll never get a chance at an animal like that in my lifetime, but hopefully neither will anyone else that acts outside the bounds of the law. I'm not a lawyer, nor an LEO - just a guy that doesn't care to jump to conclusions before knowing all the facts. [/QUOTE]
