    We’re being too harsh on Sheriff Bob Norris. This poor guy spent 20 years at the LA County Sheriff’s Department, practicing Compton justice before moving to Idaho. He has only had 4 years as sheriff to hone his hatred of women, and is under the strain of a defamation lawsuit for pointing at a local woman and accusing her of giving blowjobs and photographing child pornography at the library.

    Since then, police continued to investigate the incident, including by reviewing video recordings that showed what happened before they arrived. In light of “all new evidence and video related to the event,” city prosecutors will dismiss the citation.

    Meanwhile, the city revoked the business license for LEAR Asset Management “for violating Coeur d’Alene city ordinances regarding security agencies and agents.”

    Though Coeur d’Alene city code requires security agents to wear uniforms “clearly marked” with the word “security,” the guards were in plainclothes, with no visible identifiers that they were security.

      It’s quaint of them to dismiss the misdemeanor battery citation issued to Dr. Borrenpohl for defending herself. I suspect the City of Coer d’Alene will be intimately involved in in the law suit.

    Thats nice and all but can we tar and feather the sheriff and put him in some old timey wood hand and head stock in the town square so we can throw unorganic vegies at him? Or prison would also be fine, but that seems like too much to hope that the justice system would do the right thing here.
