'Better financially' to kill suspects than wound them: sheriff
The sheriff of a California county with an outsized number of police shootings once said that it was “better financially" to kill suspects than wound them.
Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood was looking for an endorsement in 2006 when he posed the question, “When a deputy shoots somebody, which way is better financially? To cripple them or kill them for the county?”
“Kill them?” someone off camera asks before Youngblood answers “Absolutely.”
"Because if you cripple them you have to take care of them for life and that cost goes way up," he said.
The damning video was released Mondayby the Kern County Detention Officers Association, one of three officers’ unions that had endorsed Youngblood’s upcoming election opponent and chief deputy Justin Fleeman.
