Kultral notes

Folks in Glenrock, Wyoming, were up in arms at local peace officers' unnecessary exuberance in suppressing a 76-year-old farmer who tried to take the cut-off from the tractor parade to the tractor pull. Despite the commotion, no arrests were made.

Casper attorney John Robinson defended the police actions against threats to the domestic tranquility of Deer Creek Days.

"[These law officials who should apparently be justified in doing anything to protect the homeland] ultimately [five times with a taser] de-escalated a volatile situation [his son yelling, "He has a heart condition"] created by Mr. Grose's actions [making an illegal turn and bumping into a police car]. If anyone violated the law that day, it was Mr. Grose [crapping apples in the public square].

"He should not be considered a folk hero."
