OFI 083: Matt Brechwald | Unfortunate Tragedy Between A Rancher and Law Enforcement

SHOW NOTES

KEY IDEAS:

We had a tragic incident involving law enforcement and a rancher here in Idaho this week.  I do not know anything more than what has been reported on television and in the newspaper, and I refuse to speculate on what happened.

With that said, I believe that I am uniquely qualified to discuss some of the issues that this incident brings up.  The combination of my education and experience with cattle combined with the combination of my education and experience in law enforcement gives me a unique perspective on this situation.

In a tragedy like this, there will no doubt be many questions about why the law enforcement officers did what they did.  I do not know what happened at the scene.  I do not know if the officers acted properly or not.  And, I do not know if the man who was shot and killed acted improperly at all.

However, I can imagine, based on the information that has been reported, how this situation could have got out of hand quickly.  My hope in doing this post is that I can offer information from my training and experience that can give a different perspective to this incident.  And, if this tragic incident can be a catalyst for sharing information that might prevent a tragedy in the future, then I want to share my experience and knowledge.

My thoughts and prayers are with the affected family, the deputies involved and the entire community where this occurred.
