“The basis of the charge is that there was an inconsistency between my statements in my application to the Routt County Sheriff’s Office, and the results of my polygraph test, regarding prior drug use,” Bantle told The Free Thought Project. “If I had been hired by the Sheriff’s Office, and it was discovered that I had been deliberately deceptive, I would have been liable for prosecution. But since they chose not to hire me, that provision doesn’t apply. The timing of the charge, which was filed about two years after I applied, makes it pretty clear that this is all contrived for the purpose of retaliation.”

“A complaint had been received about some rough language I used in teaching a self-defense and anti-bullying course,” Bantle recalls. “I did say what was reported, because saying things such as `Get the f**k off me!’ is a legitimate technique in dealing with an assailant.”

2. Sounds consistent with the same shit going on all over the country. This is going to get a lot worse

before it gets better.

I haven't figured out if this is rot is occurring from the top down or the bottom up.
