Fistfight caught on video at Indiana town meeting
INDIANA (http://www.foxnews.com/category/us/midwest/indiana)

some townsfolk at a council meeting beat on the new town sheriff because they didn't like his words.
my my no respect for authority.

But somehow no ones in jail yet, no one was killed, or badly injured, that's the good news.
somehow even when there real physical violence ... not just the imagined threat... things can be deescalated.

WTHI in Terre Haute reported (http://wthitv.com/2015/12/08/punches-thrown-at-hymera-town-marshal-meeting/) Tuesday that punches were thrown during the meeting where members voted to replace Darrick Cullison.
Details on what sparked the dispute and possible injuries weren't immediately available.
Cullison is suing the Town of Hymera. His attorney has said the board failed to follow state-mandated procedures when it voted Oct. 23 to end Cullison's employment as marshal of the town about 25 miles south of Terre Haute.

Cullison is seeking his job back, back pay, benefits and attorney fees. His attorney says that due to Cullison's employment as marshal for at least a decade, he achieved merit rights allowing him to appeal terminations and disciplinary matters.

Pitiful coverage of the news (as usual). They always leave more questions than answers which is not only because of poor education these days but also for RATINGS by covering/reporting CRAP for hours on end.

Whether the fired marshal was wrongly treated or not.....he showed a lot of poor judgement (especially as a leader) to have done what he did. What ticks me off is that THEY called in cops from surrounding areas that have no jurisdiction (at tax payer's expense) and probably didn't even arrest the attackers. My hat is kinda off to the "NEWLY HIRED" guy cuz he did something that I could never have done......reframe from breaking the old marshal's arm and then proceed (tactfully and calmly) into breaking the other guy's arm.

The old marshal is probably telling the truth about the town counsel being CROOKS but he still acted wrongly and BROKE THE LAW.

Rev, dig up more info next time....THANKS!
