The member here who posted this thread about a game warden poaching has himself been arrested for poaching. Much like a democrat, he was pointing his finger at someone else when he was guilty of what he was accusing the warden of. And it just so happens the member here was or is also a politician holding office.
I know the words aren't used as much nowadays but what you're referring to is hypocrisy or an obvious example of a hypocrite. Not pointing the finger for demonizing dems. You won't find me defending folks who support a party that defends killing babies. Just saying it's helpful to use the actual word that should disgust anyone, regardless of political views.

Agree with you on calling it for what it is, my post from the other thread https://www.tndeer.com/threads/etowah-poaching.448114/page-2#post-5829925

R U sure there was no discipline? Employers usually are required to keep disciplinary action confidential.

Sorry didn't realize you had all the information that we don't.cause I read the piece someone put on here and it says hunting on property he had no permission and not wearing orange. Nowhere did it say over bait. I'm not digging into it cause I really don't care that much. And what I stated nowhere did I say these are the facts. It was a presumption since the TWRA agent that this individual posted about couple years ago became not prosecuted or reprimanded but became captain for his troubles.
I think you might want to double check some of your supposed "facts".

I read the article posted. That's all I basing my comments on. They had pics of him with bait on his own cam according to the article. How would TWRA fake that?
The guy made some poor decision apparently but I'm not going to celebrate that. He will have his day, pay his fines, and life goes on for all of us.
If TWRA wanted to bury the original violation, they very well could have. Instead they cited their employee and treated him like any other citizen.
Do we want every state trooper or deputy fired if they speed? Do we expect them to get "professional courtesy"? I think most of us land somewhere in between- we expect them to be treated the same as us- cited if violating. The wildlife officer got no courtesy.
If you are a CDL holder and get convicted of reckless driving, you're likely getting fired. Because if you can't do your one job well, you don't have any business holding that job. LEO's hold the public trust. If a game warden can't be trusted to abide by the game laws, he has no business enforcing them. What happens in court is a seperate issue. What his boss does is administrative, but likely has a larger baring on how the public perceives the issue as well as public trust in the organization.

not if job related, going to a call or in a pursuit. any other time ? yeah, write that guy a ticket.
True story. We actually had an MP like #1 at Fort Stewart, Georgia before I retired. He was so gung ho that he even wrote his wife a speeding ticket. I've always wondered how long he was in the doghouse after that, or how long it was until he was served with divorce papers.
