Cops Kill Rancher Who Was Trying to Kill Bull | Jack Yantis Case Analysis 

If an officer shuts off his or her body cam in this context, it should be automatic charges for obstruction and destroying evidence.

"perhaps it never occured to deputy Wood that the brain is a vital organ, considering he never seemed to use his" Spoken like a true G.

There needs to be serious punishment for officers who don’t use their body cams. This is the problem I have with so many law enforcement officers is that they escalate situations instead of de-escalating. This went so left for no reason.

When Cops deliberately deactivate or refuse to wear body cams, their testimony should be viewed as very dubious. Why should they be believed when they have deliberately ensured there is no video recording of incidents such as these? They get away with it far too much.

They couldn’t kill the bull but managed just fine with a man

This seems like another case in point of why we need a national database of officer misconduct so bad cops can't just go from one jurisdiction to another freely.

How quickly we're approaching the point at which everyone says, "Whatever happens, for heavens sake, don't call the cops!!"

Speaking as a rancher in a remote area one state over, I gave been involved in several incidents where cattle were hit and killed or injured on the highway. Our deputies are trained how to put animals down. They also request locals do it sometimes. I feel that skill should be mandatory where livestock and large wild animals live. These officer’s behavior is shocking to me because they were so reckless.

I think the cops were more concerned with their egos when Jack pointed out how stupid they were injuring the bull and also after he made fun of the rifle they used. Based on their lies about their backgrounds, they want to be tougher and more amazing than they are in reality.

“There was never any evidence that the cop knew that the brain was a vital organ, since he apparently didn’t use his.” Priceless.

I love how you can tell Dr.Grande is upset about the situation by his jokes, the pointed humor showing a completely valid frustration with the cop’s choices to be stupid as fuck

The cops already had quite a few disciplinary actions against them. What do they have to DO to get permanently fired from ANY police force, kill somebody? Oh. They already did that. They didn't manage the scene correctly from the start. They should have shot and killed the injured bull before notifying the owner. Instead, they shoot and kill him, too. SMH. Thanks for this video, Dr.Grande. You've sure been busy this week. We love it. ❤❤❤ EDIT: I can't believe I got here so early! 🤗

When due process fails us, we really do live in a world of terror. Thank you, Dr. Grande.

Unbelievable. Their hubris can end innocent lives without consequence. We really need to get these laws changed for accountability of those we put in power over us.

I love when he doesn't diagnose, but only speculates about what could be happening in a situation like this.

I don't know how many people realize just how enormous a Bull is, especially certain types of Bulls. The Bull most likely "charged" due to pain and fear. Contrary to popular belief Bulls are not inherently aggressive unless threatened, which this guy certainly was. There's that saying "don't shoot a bear unless your ready to finish the job, otherwise you just make it mad"... I can imagine this farmer being angry, even if he'd been sober, because the general consensus is to put an animal out of its misery, not cause it more by shooting it repeatedly in the body.

I really appreciate when you choose to analyze law enforcement behavior and point out when they are treated preferentially. It is so valuable and because it is not biased, or at least it seems unbiased to me, it educates rather than provokes. Way to go Doc!

How was he not fired just from sleeping with an informant??? Both of those officers had so many red flags. There needs to be a significantly more strict elimination process for people trying to go into law enforcement. Aren't they supposed to do the MMPI test? A friend of mine had to when she was applying, but she failed so she couldn't continue in the process (which, tbh was a relief. She's never been very good at compartmentalizing). I suppose it's not fool proof, but still...

Ohhh no! Poor bull 😪 the innocent creature suffered so much because of a bunch of dimwits 😭😭😭😭 Dimwits... that's a word right? 😅 Thanks for sharing this Dr!

Let's suppose that the officers were telling the truth. The body cams would have supported their version of events. I don't see why an honest cop would turn off his body camera or leave it behind.

Being an accomplished looter and pillager myself, I'm shocked and disappointed for not having been notified of the many Looter conventions held in Idaho that Doc makes reference too.

Dr. Grande, I just finished reading your book - Harm Reduction. It was a great read, I enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you for writing this book! I hope you keep writing because you are such a wonderful author. Here is the review for Harm Reduction: The book is about a Mental Health Counselor- Jenny, who besides being accomplished in a variety of ways, holds a fundamental wound that prevents her from achieving genuine fulfillment in life and being her true self. During one of her counseling sessions, she meets a client who turns out to be a serial killer. Her connection with him ends up being much deeper than she would like, making him a source of torment and redemption for her. The plot involves a sophisticated network of manipulation, delusions, and murder. It keeps the reader engaged and guessing until the very end. The characters are unique with intriguing personality traits. The serial killer- Rio, who displays traits of psychopathy, narcissism, delusional thinking and OCD, is a despicable and fascinating man. The cop boyfriend- Sam, despite his shallowness, is able to deliver an unexpected and provocative line “People are sheep. Plain and simple. They turn to wolves to protect them, and then they are amazed to find out that the wolves are going to do whatever the hell they want- that they are going to be wolves.” Jenny is certainly the most insightful one. She is as ordinary as she is complicated. She wants to be a good person, yet she needs to fight for self- preservation. Jenny’s doubts about her own identity, her sense of self-worth, and the shame and guilt that has followed her for many years, creates a character that is relatable in many ways. The quest for discovering who we truly are, the price of each choice we make in life and the pain of dealing with the consequences of our decisions are fundamental aspects of the human experience. Finally, Harm Reduction is an entertaining, captivating, and exciting book that not only delve into intricate works of manipulation and deception but also into the psychological aspects of the human mind. Truly recommend.

I always thoroughly enjoy the deadpan joke delivery. "...perhaps it never occurred to deputy Wood that the brain is a vital organ, considering he didn't seem to ever make use of his"

One must remember that even if it is domesticated animals they can act erratic when they are injured. So they need to act carefully.

That "considering he never made use of his own brain" roast was golden!! haha

Bodycam should have been on, camera ever lies. Great analysis Dr Grande

Cameras are definitely a big problem when the police can turn them on and off at will.

N.B. Officer Wood's AR15 had 3 custom modifications made to it: a Noveske barrel, flash suppressor, and holographic sight w/ magnifier. Why was Wood allowed to carry and use an unauthorised weapon rather than the service weapon he was issued?

Hi Dr. Grande! As you were telling the story, I kept say "Oh no, oh no". It just kept getting more and more suspenseful of what horrible outcome was to come. You are a great "situation storyteller"!!

I was in a very similar situation. I was 19 and driving 60 mph in a 1994 Grand Am on a dark, foggy night when I encountered a local farmer's herd of black cows on the highway. I was uninjures except for a few spots where shattered glass had grazed me, but 5 cows died. The last two had to be put down, by the owner, while cops watched. Had he had a beer or two? Possibly. Was anybody killed? No. Did the cops shoot the cows? No. I can attest that this is largely the cops fault, who were obviously paranoid (a terrible trait in a police officer) and acted outside of the cattle owner or driver's interests.

2 bad cops. So sad this happened.

"... Perhaps it didn't occur to him the brain is vital organ considering he didn't ever made use of his!"...Savage AND I love it!

Dr. Grande presents a lot of interesting analysis on these obscure, and often tragic stories I would never otherwise hear about. Sounds like Adams County, Idaho has very low standards for hiring.

So true. Officers tend to be sensation-seeking. Oftentimes they are looking for action or drama...even when there is nothing happening.🙄

Also, many places in the west, in very rural low population areas it is still 'open range' and cattle and other large animals are not always inside fences. For properties that have public roads through them, there'll be road signs about this periodically.

The fact that neither one had their body cams on would force a court to assume the worst, so they would be by default guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of murder.

Dr. Grande, could you review the case of Shoko Asahara (the mastermind behind the 1995 sarin gas attack in Tokyo)?

The bull was the only innocent party and suffered the most harm because of lack of human decency and civilized behavior

I think this was a cold blooded murder. That old rancher KNEW how to put the bull out of its misery with a head shot. Drunk or not he would have known how to handle this situation. The two cops obviously didn’t even know HOW to put the poor bull out of its misery with a single headshot. 🙄 Makes me wonder if Jack had made a disparaging comment about these two city slicker keystone cops before he was murdered though. And then to handcuff his family who had just watched him be killed? This was a HOMICIDE.

"Perhaps it never occurred to deputy Wood that the brain is a vital organ, since he never made use of his." My phone melted a little that burn was so hot Doc! Well played and well deserved to that murderer! Appreciate your video as always!

Our local cops always wear a black band over their badges. They say it's worn in mourning for a fallen officer. No officers have fallen recently. The band just happens to cover the badge number.

This example of state brutality is egregious and unwarranted.

When cops are involved in shootings and they don't use their body cams, if there is any discrepancy in the facts of the case, the balance of credibility should automatically be granted to the adversarial party.

The title is everything! I really appreciate hearing your professional opinion on what you cover. You're also a great storyteller!

Being a truck driver for nearly 30 years, I've had plenty of run ins with police. You can always tell how the experience is going to be just by watching them walking up to the cab. I've always been polite and cooperative as possible, however, a vast majority of times it has ended up just being nothing short of harassment.

Dr Grande your witty sarcasm is spot on.

The looter conventions?!? Just too funny Doc. Sadly, another case of cops being cops I'm afraid. Great critique Doc. Thanks.

Sorry, I'm late. It seems that people and cops are crazy. I feel sorry for the bull. Thank you. Peace 💕🇺🇲

wait, donna went into cardiac arrest? from what.. the stress of the situation? that's insane. these officers are horrible

I love the Christmas decorations!

I feel sorry for the bull.

That's appalling, animals should be in a paddock. The authorities should have asked the people too remain inside. If the man was inebriated, why didn't the nephew do it. As far as I'm concerned the authorities used un due force. My father was in the SAS ,when we lived on a farm, if an animal was in pain, my dad would get a rifle, it would be done with one shot. Thank you Dr Grande. Great analysis and topic.

Evidently if you’re crazy but still want be in law enforcement, move to Idaho. They’ll give you a badge.

Afternoon Dr. G. Thanks for the new post. Admire your dedication & work ethic. Still awake in Chicago!

Hiding evidence, such as keeping your bodycam off or in the vehicle, should be considered in the worst possible light. I think that fact changes the guilty beyond a reasonable doubt to yes. We need to send a message that hiding the truth is the worst thing you can do.

Perfect. The man didn't use his brain therefore didn't know the bull's brain was a vital organ. Brilliant.

Thanks for the consistent content! Just received your book "Harm Reduction" and can't wait to find time to read it!

I'm getting spoiled between Dr. Grande and Mike from That Chapter. This is great.

Wow. This is the first time I've seen you try to solve a case. But I loved these two comments (paraphrased). "It may not have occurred to him that the brain is a vital organ because he never used his," and "Bulls are terrible drivers."

I love your stuff Doc. Don't these departments investigate their own candidates for employment? I would hate to have them investigate a murder... or actually anything at all.

Yes, when allowed to drive, Bulls tend to tailgate.

I absolutely LOVE the festive, seasonal decorations incorporated into the already aesthetically pleasing background decor! 😃🎄☃️

Your casual style, your obligatory mild yet comedic commentary occasionally thrown in each video, your direct & informative analysis, your thoughtful and respectful delivery, your consistency, you/your content is one of my favorites and your work is very much enjoyed & appreciated! Thank you!! ☺️

I've always said... there's a fine line between criminals and cops.

The cacti arrangement in this upload is satisfying

Cops escalating a situation? I’m shocked, shocked! (SARCASM)

Love to hear the little tidbits that Dr Grande has with his knowledge of firearms and safe gun ownership, makes me feel a little smarter too!

"Didn't think the brain was a vital organ since he didn't use his." Ouch. Savage.

I read about this case. Those officers are a menace to the public. IMO

My heart goes out to the family. For the loss of their animal and for the loss of their human.

I very much appreciate that Dr. Grande is knowledgeable of firearms

The real victim in this case is the bull. 🥺

i think it's best if the public uses cameras , they don't malfunction as often after deadly shootings .

Tim started writing a comment, But then he decided that he had better think through his actions before seriously regretting what he had done.

What an all star team of a police force

This guy is literally a bully getting drunk with power over the uniform, disgraceful.

Unbelievable. Does a box of cornflakes come with a badge in the US? In the Netherlands you go to school for 2 to 4 years, depending on the career path.

The time it takes you to produce these great videos is astounding.

BOOM. Dr. Grande is my spirit animal ♡

You’re getting real close to that 1.000.000, doc😉!

This was murder in the part of the officers. What the hell would he been trying to do, if not shooting the bull? No criminal charges??? What a crock.

I love your dry sense of humor!

Getting SAVAGE Dr. Grande 😂 your quips alone have me recommending your vids

You are funny with a straight face...you are good Doc.

Cops should also be properly vetted to determine whether they are suited for the job. A move from one state to another should warrant sight of previous employer/police department testimonials/references.

Dr. Grande, your sense of humor is the Best!

Great channel. Your humor gets me every time and it makes the most mundane facts more colorful. I hope you do this for a long time.

How do 6 gunshots from an AR-15 not kill a bull of any size within like 5 minutes? That thing would be on the ground bleeding out right away.

From its inception I rejected Black Lives Matter as a political movement. My interpretation was that it is code for, "Black lives matter, but we don't really care about White people." Early on I identified with the slogan, "All Lives Matter," and since learning about the Daniel Shaver shooting, and also cases like this one, and that of Randy Weaver, I am convinced more than ever that my position is the morally correct one. Daniel Shaver, for example, an unarmed White man, was brutally executed with every bit of the savage indifference that any Black person was shot by police. Even worse, because unlike 16-year-old Ma'Kia Bryant or Jacob Blake of Kenosha, Mr. Shaver was lying prone, face down, pleading with the police officers to not shoot. FBI statistics tell us that more White people are shot by police every year than are Black people. I acknowledge that statistically, by percentage of population, Black people are shot in higher numbers, but I take into account the context. For instance, both Bryant and Blake were actually engaged in violent behavior at the time of their shootings. I'm not justifying police shooting any demographic. Quite the opposite, I'm saying we need to take race out of the grievance, because in most cases, race isn't the precipitating factor. You said the one cop with the AR shot the bull many times, and it still didn't die. This indicates one of the core problems, which isn't proficiency with a firearm, but rather that somewhere along the way police tend to respond by shooting first to resolve conflict, rather than as a last resort. Daniel Shaver's murder proves that race isn't why the police are choosing to shoot people.

“Bulls are terrible drivers 😁. Thank you so much Dr. Grande. Awesome as always ✨, Like your cute Christmas lights 💚🎄💚.

He's on a roll. Two videos a day consecutively

i feel awful for the poor animal in such pain. typical behavior from the cops, as we've all seen before.

You turning into Yosemite Sam, Doc? He always called Bugs a varmint.

I love your videos! Your kind, calm, humorous, knowledgeable demeanor. And new fun fact for me is you have a very good knowledge of guns. You are just full of surprises, Dr Grande. ❤️

Your analysis is always excellent and your jokes are witty. You are my favorite 🤩

You know maybe I am crazy.. But I'm really starting to think that cops need to have an education and background in training similar to lawyers and doctors. I mean why are the ones who have to fight the law's allegations in court forced to have such extensive schooling in training. When the ones who enforce and make the allegation barely have to finish high school? I'd be all for making the police a very well paid job if we seriously increased the requirements to become an officer in the first place. Specialized units with officers trained in Mental Health Awareness etc. We could make the police something better. But first we need some form of accountability.

Never let a bull drive on public roads........LOL!!

Love the cactus lights!

I am very glad they were able to find Dory
