Question

Why are people being so critical of Sarah Palin for trying to protect her family?

Why shouldn't Sarah Palin be able to fire a State Trooper that tasered his own stepson and threatened her father's life. This guy should not only have been fired; he should be in jail.

If he'd been my brother-in-law he'd be in the Hospital.

Answer 1

Most of the people here don't know anything about Palin, they just have to attack her for some reason, probably because she is a true conservative and hot to boot.

Answer 2

Hospital, h3ll, he'd have been on his way to the grave yard with me. First off, you don't mistreat a kid and sure not with a taser. She had the right to fire him because that is misuse of power.

I'm just an old hill billy former Marine, preacher and deputy sheriff, but anyone should know better than to hurt a kid or threaten a man's life.

Answer 3

Well, considering we've heard only one side of the story, I wouldn't be so quick to pass judgment either way.

Answer 4

Protecting your family is one thing, abusing your power is another.  She didn't try to get her brother in law fired, she went for the person she told to fire him.  Don't fall for the emotional response.

An elected leader, or anyone in power, should be held accountable to do the right thing.  If her brother-in-law did a fantastic job, and still abused his family, he should be fired ONLY if he violated the personnel policies of his job.  Let the family kick his a**, but don't abuse the authority.

Answer 5

You are right sir! I believe in an eye for and eye strict punishment for police officers
