Your Tax Dollars At Work In Ottawa County Kansas

 In March, 2016, an under-sheriff named Russell Thornton, according to the government information site of Ottawa County, Kansas, determined that a ninety-one year old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease should be tased at a nursing home, when he refused to keep a medical appointment with a doctor. The vdeo was made available to the public in December. The staff at Minneapolis Good Samaritan Center, in Minneapolis, Kansas, called the police on the patient. Thornton waited until the man got up and began walking away, then pointed his taser at him and shot. The sheriff, Keith Colman, referred to this action as "the best possible alternative."

Couldn't the appointment have been rescheduled? What happened to the directive policemen were once given concerning the use of physical or brute force, and not using it unless absolutely necessary?

Lana Leigh Bailey Of Kansas Is Missing

I read about this triple homicide in Ottawa, Kansas a couple of days ago. On Monday, a friend of Andrew Stout went to his home, after not seeing or hearing from him in several days, and did not find Andrew, but found very hungry, unfed pets. There was also a pervasive foul odor on the premises, and Andrew's friend called the police. The sheriff came, and determined that the foul odor was only garbage that had not been taken out or collected. The following day, Andrew's friend got a couple more people to go back to Andrew's with her and returned, this time going inside the house in order to feed the pets. That was when she found Kaylie Bailey, deceased, under a tarp in the garage and the bodies of Andrew Stout and Steven White in the house. So much for the sheriff's assessment that the smell was only because the garbage had not been taken out! Someone has already been arrested in connection with the three homicides in Ottawa; the remaining question has to do with Lana Bailey, the eighteen month old daughter of Kaylie Bailey and Andrew Stout; the last time she was seen, she was en route to Andrew Stout's home with her mother. So....has anyone seen Lana Leigh Bailey?
