Is that light the end of the tunnel or a train?

This elk was shot in a densely populated residential area in the heart of Boulder.
Not only should these repugnant reprobates go to jail, they should also be banned from LEO work and gun possession for life.

That was one of my questions.
What in the world were they doing shooting an elk in a densely populated neighborhood with witnesses close enough to take photos and video?
Colorado natives tend to look the other way if they know a poacher is unemployed and trying to feed a family. That's hardly the case with these guys.
When I was a kid, any poached game the Fish and Game confiscated, was turned over to the local school lunch programs but I'm told that's not allowed anymore. No one can tell me where it does go now but I'm sure not all of it goes to the land fills. At least I hope not.

I suspect they will get probation but never work as LEO's again. I wish penalties for corrupt police were higher than for average criminals. With more power should come more responsibility and higher penalties.
Alaska averages 600 Moose a year killed on the roads, more on big snow years. That is Tons of very good meat and these moose are given to non-profits or needy families. It's a big job getting them off the road and recently got some state funding to make it safer and more efficient. The first year of funding was expensive as money was needed to buy initial equipment. Costs will go down steeply after the initial investment.

I heard the elk was found with 2 grams of cocaine stashed in its antlers.

That moose road kill program is really neat!
It's nice to know that there are places and issues in America that still have common sense local solutions to problems.

I hope they fine them heavily and put 'em in jail for
a long time.
Two fewer bad cops . . .

It sucks these dumb-asses shot the elk, but the biggest issue was the attempted cover-up. "official misconduct, forgery, two counts of tampering with evidence and attempting to influence a public servant. The last three counts are felonies."
Definitely not conduct becoming officers of the law. F*#k them. Hope they go to jail.
If they had just fessed up and said.."yeah.. we're tools and we shot an elk"... they probably would have gotten off with only a slap on the wrist and a fine and been able to slink quietly back to their jobs after the public lost interest.

How f*#king stupid can two people be? Evidently, pretty f*#king stupid. Fine examples of LEOs. And that is definitely not hunting.
