This issue was not well liked by county sheriffs and to my knowledge the only tribal police department that has officers who have county comissions are the Tulalips which have Snohomish county sheriff authority.



Not quite correct, or to put a "Fine Point" on it, the County Sheriff can choose to cross deputized a tribal officer (after all the training, etc.,), (here's the important fine point) Butttttttttttttttt only within the confines/boundaries of that particular county, not other counties. Clallam County Sheriff Bennett has chosen to cross deputize tribal officers in Clallam County. The Sheriff of Jefferson County (Brinon where the incident occured) has chosen NOT to cross deputize Tribal Officers. The effect is that in Jefferson County NO TRIBAL OFFICERS have any LE Color of Authority!!!! Those tribal cops are essentially toast and should be arrested for kidnapping, a very serious felony. And as "Employees of the Tribe/Corporation", i.e., 7 Cedars Casino/Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep Pockets, those guys will appropriately wind up wealthy. Bottom Line -- Tribal Cops = Very Stooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopid.

Oh, what has not been mentioned was that it was a "Muzzle Loading Only" hunt, and with the limited range of a muzzle loader, no houses/cars on 101/libtards were in jeopardy. And if those Tribal Cops in any way felt threatened by a SINGLE SINGLE SHOT MUZZLE loader, they are in the wrong line of work!!!!!!
