On Wootens behavior as a "police officer"
On the CNN interview he admitted to TAZER'ing his `10 year old and showed no remorse but instead explained it away by saying it was only a training cartridge that had less than a second of electical activity.
First off I can tell you Wooten was trained NOT to use this on children under any circumstance. To use the excuse that the child wanted to be TAZER'd is NO excuse. He should have lost his abiltity to carry the tazer at the very least AND should have been investigated by Child Protective Services, yet no where have I heard that CPS was involved. To me that smells of internal department cover-up.
Next...Wooten shot the moose ILLEGALLY will he was a WILDLIFE OFFICER which means he knew the laws and should have been held to the highest standards in following them. I have not heard that he was given any punishment for breaking this law (poaching?) which could mean...cover up by his department again.
Drinking beer in his patrol car. He denied this in the CNN interview but in my opinion his body language said "liar" to me. It was witnessed by 2 people and was UPHELD after investigation...yet he STILL denies it?
He has a comment on his personnel record of "Damage to State property" in cases I have sat in executive session on police incidents this is "police speak" for wrecked his patrol car in an accident that was determined to be his fault. He has another note on his personnel file where he was pulled over for "not using a Left turn signal" that is likely this really represented a more serious moving violation because police officers don't usually make a big deal out of failing to use a turn signal to where it ends up on a file. Then there's the fact that this guy has been married AND DIVORCED 4 times. Palin's sister was the third. So this guy at the very least has very, very bad judgement and most likely is a BAD COP who's problems where "handled internally" so as not to bring disrepute onto the State Police Dept and he was further protected by the Police UNION. Wooten should have, in my experience and judgement, lost his badge with the tazer incident, compound that with all the other stuff and I would say that Palin was well with in her power and rights to lean on the Safety Commissioner to do something about this DANGEROUS COP since those below her were not.
