I read that all were volunteers.
Lt. David led by physically going first and earned that Medal of Honor.
The next two earned the Navy Cross.
Others earned the Silver Star.
The group earned the Presidential Unit Citation.
Capt. Gallery earned the Distinguished Service Medal.
It all seems reasonable in my view.

If the eye witness' account is confirmed by Attorney General Liz Murrill’s investigation, then the AG should charge any responding leo with malfeasance in office and have them removed. Is that better for you?
Not my call, but closer to correct. The likelihood is that he will resign, be indicted or be impeached through the legislature.
As to the deputies who did not arrest a sitting sheriff in his parish, nothing will happen because they actually had no authority over him under Louisiana law.

You are correct for the vast majority of commercial aircraft, but altitude and equipment are not given.

I would figure a very high percentage of people would have been arrested for drunkenly hitting, choking and kicking someone in a bar.

Of course, this is assuming that the reports presented in news and social media sources are credible.

Great post.

Nice to see a primary source cited which shines credible light on the personality involved when so much of the discussion involves little more than rumors.

I am almost surprised that he avoided facing federal charges such as 18 USC 242 over that incident. Looked very close to a willful criminal act. Especially with so much documentation and a correct contrary legal opinion previously given by the DA.

I think that they are very expensive for what you get, but the value of domestic tranquility is truly the deciding consideration.

Just learn how to use them if an extended outage happens.

You cannot run most of them 24/7 without tending to their maintenance and letting them cool at times.

I get it.
