Holy Toledo, just in the time it took to read through the bottom of page four of this thread two more pages were added! Don't know much about the rancher, not taking either side but I think the officers showed great restraint not arresting the idiot for assault on the dog. A large number of the protestors were combative IMO and the officers were simply trying to protect themselves and get home to their families at the end of the day. I'm 100 percent certain that some of those officers were not on the ranchers side, not on the BLM side, and others could careless. They were there just to do a job.
Note: K9 training must have really advanced to be able to train them to detect pregnant, cancer stricken women.
