What did he think he was going to do drag the deer in his squad care until his shift was over?

What did he think he was going to do drag the deer in his squad care until his shift was over?

A good 'ole boy cop thinks the law doesn't apply to him, how surprising.

What an arrogant former officer. What about derelection of duty? He is suppose to be on patrol deterrng criminal activity if he is not answering calls. He lost his right to be a police officer anywhere when he pulled that trigger. He has the wrong idea of what a police officer is suppose to and what one stands for. Move on...driving a garabge truck is too good for you.

Kenneth he and his fellow officers call it a "BRASS PASS" meaning they are above the law. I Also bet he issued several Draconian Citations and when the person recieved them he just said it's the LAW.

Hard to argue with all the above. Let's hold a vote; does anyone believe he was trying to protect the public from deer "crossing negligently" into the city!?

Why would he kill a deer for sport....he knew he couldn't keep it. Why such a negative attitude until this is settled and you know all the facts? Just saying, we really don't know what he was thinking.
