Cops shoot and kill Idaho farmer for trying to kill his own injured bull.

While Paradis was getting the skid loader, the deputies started shooting at the bull. At least one of them had a semiautomatic rifle, perhaps an AR-15, an adaptation of the military M16.
quote:
“Everything was going as planned. … I did not notice any conversation at all” between Jack Yantis and the deputies, Paradis said. “Then the one cop turned around and grabbed his shoulder and jerked him backwards.”
The deputy came from behind, spun Yantis around and grabbed the rifle’s scope, Paradis said.
The deputy pushed Yantis. The rifle was still in Yantis’ hands, its barrel pointed at the ground. Yantis was trying to regain his footing.
Paradis said he does not know whether the rifle fired, but he thinks it might have discharged accidentally when the deputy grabbed Yantis and spun him, or when one of the deputy’s bullets pierced Yantis’ hand holding the rifle, hitting the gun and damaging it.
One deputy began shooting at Yantis, then the other deputy started shooting.
[quote]Donna Yantis said she and Paradis screamed at the deputies to stop.
Shot in the chest and abdomen, Jack Yantis fell to the ground. Neither deputy went to check on him. Paradis and Donna Yantis started running toward him.
“And then they threatened me and my nephew ... threw us on the middle of Highway 95, searched us and handcuffed us, and wouldn’t let us go take care of Jack,” Donna Yantis said.
Paradis said one deputy pointed his gun at Paradis’ head.
Donna Yantis had a heart attack. Some time later, she was taken by ambulance to Midvale and then by helicopter to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, where she remained hospitalized Saturday.

The deputies were wearing body cameras, Adams County Sheriff Ryan Zollman told the Statesman on Thursday, though it’s unclear whether they recorded the incident. A dash camera in the deputies’ vehicle was not turned on, Zollman said. The investigation is currently in the hands of the Idaho State Police.

Let me see if I can summarize the national media narrative on this one:

I'm going to go out on a limb and say they will claim they were not recording

Bull Lives Matter
But seriously, how did it go from "Hey, you need to come dispatch your animal" to shooting the guy?
I read that the deputies were firing AR's into the bulls belly and not humane kill shots to the bulls head. I wonder if that started a disagreement.

Jake Tapper tweeted it out yesterday. So did Jamelle Bouie.
Just giving credit to members of the media who do try and call things fairly (Tapper usually, Bouie may have been abducted).

Only way to stop these incidents are to make it mandatory for all LEO to wear body cameras. This will remove the he said she said and also remind the LEO they are always being watched.
