Palin ethics lapse cited - Los Angeles Times

I would not want to meet up with this trooper, a sworn member of law enforcement, in any situation where I might come in contact with law enforcement. He tasered a child, which in my mind makes him a bully. Who knows what he might do to a citizen on the streets. Law enforcement officers wield tremendous power and I shudder to think how a man who tasers his 11 year old stepson and threatens to kill his father-in-law handles the situations that law enforcement officials find themselves in everyday. Most states do a background check and psychological profile on officers to assure that individuals like Wooten never become officers of the law. I would like to think there is a process to remove bullies like this from law enforcement. Why was this man NOT fired? To me, that's the bigger question here. Were there political stances in play here? You'd better believe it!
