Those bull elk will have fun with them in prison...
There's two sets of rules in society: those for the governed and those for the people that govern. I'd have been locked up before daybreak the night that elk was shot, not so much for the folks that shot it. I've got no qualms with elk hunting. I have issues with double standards.Quote:

^^^This.
I think you are referring to me, but you have the wrong name.Quote:

The DA won't dismiss the three felony charges to have them plead to one of the several misdeanor charges. I can't speculate on any jail time, but I would tend to agree they will get probation in the end.
Good one, Ah Pook!
If they weigh the same as a duck....burn them!!!!
Looks like. Paper Hunter didn't pick the right name. [ROFL2]Quote:

The charges will go on their criminal history, which means that no police agency can hire them without seeing those charges. Sure - like everybody else in America, they will probably take plea deals to non-felony charges, which I guess would make them hire-able, but the chief that hires two officers this stupid deserves the publicity backlash that would erupt.
As far as taking away their pension, and assuming Boulder PD has PERA, what has been said above is correct - if they've been in for five years or more, they'll get a small - very small - trickle of money when they retire. It really isn't any different than putting money in any other kind of investment account, except that PERA substitutes for SSN contributions. That's money they earned and saved, and they shouldn't lose it, unless you believe that a private citizen should have his SSN payments reduced after retirement for crimes committed while he was working.
I know that cops need to be held accountable to a higher standard, and they are - most people here could "accidentally" shoot an elk and keep their jobs. Sure, you'd end up in the newspaper, but that is for poaching a popular urban elk - that would happen to anybody.
Long story short, these two idiots will have their day in court. They're jobless and shamed. I don't know what else you would want.
