Rancher’s wife: ‘I saw them murder my husband’. The family of an rancher in Idaho involved in an encounter with two sheriff’s deputies says the deputies killed him in a “completely unjustified” shooting. The wife is recovering in hospital after suffering a heart attack, after seeing her husband shot. Witness:

Law enforcement should be trained to de-escalate situations. In this case, I stood 10 feet away and watched two deputies escalate the situation and needlessly kill a man. … After the shooting the deputies’ demeanor was “smug” and “almost celebratory.

Does the state serve the people, or is it the other way around now?
