It does give me a little hope that there is a slight bit of justice still around.

Wow, hard to believe they could get 8 years. But I guess you pay for your actions.
Thank God an assault rifle was not used. But if that thing was charging at me, I would definitely want a 30 round clip! I just hope there are no Elks on the jury...
8 years is too harsh for 3 felonies?Quote:

It was obvious to all that this was a bad decision by the cops involved - not just the shooting of the elk, but the abuse of their office to do so. They deserve whatever the average citizen would get for the elk shooting, plus whatever they should get for the abuse of police powers, plus a bonus. I don't know if that's eight years, but it's certainly legit prison time.
