Post council member says Sheriff Rigby's interview was rigged

[@Obscured1972]

He flat out told the officer if he didn't back down he would retaliate

[@drew8256]

Corrupt cop needs to be fired. No excuses here. Utah appears to have a culture of abuse and no accountability, which stems from Temple Square.

[@IncredibleDrone]

He is a monster behind closed doors.

[@karlienicole2617]

I didn’t see any of his officers there defending him…

[@DoubleMonoLR]

Reportedly several other officers left this department, so they clearly weren't happy with what was happening.

[@RyanHawley76]

"Members of his church"... That should be enough. Cultists always prioritize their members before truth.

[@deborah3912]

and it is a Cult! thanks for saying it out loud. Mormans are very powerful people...scary!

[@deborah3912]

@billybuckman5973 both parties are corrupt. i like rand paul

[@deborah3912]

@billybuckman5973 they all lie BB, get informed friend

[@JoeyTheSinic]

Dirty politicians protecting dirty cops. Not surprised even a little

[@John-uo1qf]

Just trying to keep ahead of the dirty citizens.

[@danneilson684]

Rigby did not get high profile appointment, but is he still sheriff acting like a dictator over the LEO's?

[@scbane]

Thin blue line gang is strong with this one. It is past time to remove qualified immunity, and to remove the ability of law enforcement to investigate themselves.

[@ricladouceur6202]

It's totally ridiculous for him to suggest it was not use of force. When you grab someone by the throat that's a choice hold. To suggest that if he doesn't change his position that it will threaten his future positions and promotion is outrageous.

[@shivasirons6159]

True and what's also outrageous is I'm your only like!

[@MRR-qv3bw]

Liability to everyone paying taxes!

[@carolbamforth7475]

You can’t have a corrupt officer in charge. And a LDS member is sad…… so disappointed in him

[@sguerilla6142]

I can only be disappointed if I expect something and the opposite happens. I expect the worst from such people, so I'm never disappointed!!

[@DabNaggit]

You're surprised a LDS member is corrupt?

[@JohnW9012]

If you defend a corrupt leader you are also corrupt. When you don't believe officers who report another officer for violation of the law and policies, you are messaging the public that you will support criminal and corrupt behavior.

[@Rectitude4U]

Look at the way he acts when he KNOWS he’s on video.

[@donitamann5799]

They will wait till everyone's attention is on something else then quietly vote him in.....same ol circus

[@invisiblehands2780]

It’s up to the citizens not to fall asleep on this one

[@richmanz447]

People who consider themselves ethical who then go on to do unethical things because they like someone. Thereby planting the root of evil.

[@Ember3221]

Sheriff Rigby seems to be more a liability than anything else.

[@jackmason6747]

His name fits him at least the rig part was right

[@frankfacts6207]

His character witnesses are the criminal cop's co-conspirators

[@herbevans7877]

What a crook.he should be fired.

[@heathercloete7450]

How can you appoint someone without ALL the facts??? The video speaks volumes but most chose not to listen or hear.

[@lindagabovic1966]

That's why it's called corruption

[@wirelessuser4943]

It all depends on how much the police union is kicking into his campaign fund that's where his answer will lie !! 🤬🤬🤬

[@constitutionalli7522]

If you look up Black's Law definition of gangs- i swear to Santa it specifically describes the police 🦅🇺🇲

[@OscarTorres-xi6dk]

Corrrrrrrrrrruption!

[@moccalou]

Left Utah in 2017 after living there thirty years. Miss you guys! Pretty much grew up with Bob Evans and Hope Woodside. Glad to see Bob still there and keeping Utahans safe and informed, along with some unfamiliar faces to me, who seem just us determined to carry on the legacy! Thank you for all you do!

[@clairmuir9369]

First of all, has the duffas that brought up the scriptures ever heard of separation between church and state?? Rigby has gotten to this point by being a typical crooked heber city cop. Rigby when the chickens come home to roost those feathers are a bit to swallow. Being crooked has finally caught up with you

[@frazergeno4557]

Corrupt Police Protecting Corrupt Police

[@raymondwilliam2403]

What a crock of Schitt!

[@robsonlunar8161]

WOW SO CORRUPT

[@shivasirons6159]

No one owes rigby a friggin position of power! He's tainted , find someone decent!

[@escapewaco1]

A bad cop investigating bad cops? No way

[@calvintownley9089]

Why let him in a hier position if he's dishonest

[@ericjohnson6097]

Hey!folks this is Utah.The whole place is misled and and deceived.

[@JoseAguirre-hc1ty]

Set up from the get go, that’s BS, no one set him up, just like no one threatened him to say what he said.

[@allanpettinger9296]

How can those people say that when its been proved that he is a liar and has no integrity?

[@EvenStevensss]

Dude should NOT get affirmed!

[@calvintownley9089]

And there should be no lobbyist at all

[@-108-]

So a council member believes Sheriff RIGby's interview was... RIGGED? Now why in the world would she think RIGby would RIG anything? So puzzling. I just can't, for the life of me, figure it out. Hmm.....

[@shivasirons6159]

Clever, rigby is two faced, one he keeps in a jar by the door.

[@larrydricerice6637]

He can't be trusted

[@ruelpile]

Corrupt to the core.

[@tracyeaves1084]

The people of his church are hypocrites and his family and colleagues in law enforcement flat out lied for him

[@FifiR3]

Rigby is finally being called out for the first time in his life

[@DavidRodriguez-rr7rh]

In other words Rigby is a saint and should be treated like one. 😆😅😂

[@SirNic4180]

Sheriff Jared Rigby voted out of consideration for powerful state position.

[@thomaspaigejr.3977]

We don't stand a chance.

[@mmeeks4812]

Ah, the blue line is being exposed.

[@terrynoble921]

Lies after lies after lies….soon they become truth

[@gamercurey722]

He needs gone before it's too late

[@mwatts6755]

This is disgraceful

[@xusmico187]

any sheriff that wears 5 stars....THAT IS clearly a threat

[@tester3x]

How was he nominated? Really? I bet he's a church member. Duhhhh

[@nrsjeni2351]

This guy is a Mormon, right? Just another amazing family man from Utah.

[@guadalupemendozajr4292]

Don't back the blue until it happens to you

[@rtaggs8178]

Give it to the feds.

[@carolbamforth7475]

How was it rigged, Rigby said it. No one held a gun to make threats and intimidation

[@jeremymiller7385]

This is how it is all over , the criminals hiring each other as so called law enforcement officers...

[@motomehran299]

Who cares what his family thinks lol .

[@gabrielxai5321]

This is a government treading into very dangerous territory. If the law makers and oath takers won't uphold the laws of the country. We the people do have a way out, as written in the second amendment. If they push the people too far and refuse to uphold the law. Then "We the people" can simply activate a "Well regulated malitia" who will. And if that happens, you're "positions of power" will not save you from the consequences of your actions.

[@TheDuttonExperience]

He's one of the boys

[@Dennis-pq3rc]

Who is the bad guys now people .

[@dropofblood7330]

His brother Imlay shouldn't have a vote that's a conflict of intrest

[@jkfsdjjkjk3338]

They are all corrupt

[@MAE_Nerd_Out]

And this is why you vote for your local leaders just as much as you do larger elections

[@The-KP]

Watching sausage get made always puts people off.

[@allanpettinger9296]

Typical bille bathers hypercrites in the extreme,

[@bernardhutchinson4753]

This Sheriff Rugby is as crooked as a ram’s horn!

[@BruceHeffner]

people like Rigby should reside in Cuba

[@alc5792]

That's politics!!!!!!!!!

[@adenher5814]

Lol nothing new about that

[@calvintownley9089]

It should be a part if Thsy don't investagat then enyone could. Be hierd

[@steveg8633]

Not appropriate to bring it up really

[@electronash]

2:45 - Wow. The whole point was it was HIS job to determine the character and conduct of the person he's appointing. You couldn't make this stuff up. How so many people can stand there and say Jared is "a man of integrity" after that interrogation vid, is astounding. Seems like most of them never watched even ten minutes of it. Corruption on clear display, folks.

[@wadewalton9612]

We have the ability to Investigate...but its not our role....then why tf you have the power

[@sketch6995]

Well what a total shocker.......

[@dsayers586]

another dirty cop . no surprize

[@Honesty69]

There you go,,church,religion,yup,,that's it,,he's a goodi goodi man,well there always multiple ways to get rid of a problem if the right /just way can't work cause of friends/church n so on,,😠

[@jenkor513]

Congratulations to fox 13. I am not a Fox News fan until now.

[@tracyeaves1084]

If the governor accepts the sheriff needs to be removed from office immediately and the sheriff needs to be removed immediately from office and arrested for violating the duty of the office and help with the mayor cover up for the chief

[@nikitalawson7181]

You can't tell a person what he saw is not what he saw ? Of cause Rigby shouldn't be considered for that position he's got integrity at all ? Thanks Adam .

[@shivasirons6159]

One very brave cop spoke up and one spineless weasel threatened his career for doing so!

[@80bbygrl]

Why on Earth is this guy still Sheriff?

[@ghuonmukk]

Sheriff is corrupt AF!! Just watched the whole interview on LackLuster. The officer who filed the complaint actually has integrity & should be Sheriff!!!

[@charlottemiller8723]

Officer McTaggart is a honest and decent police officer. We need more police officers like him with integrity.

[@SteveV6206]

No promotion for the lying Sheriff Rigby. Hope your buddy Booth has your back like you lied for him.

[@howlinwulf]

By his fruits well we've seen his fruits

[@NDcompetitiveshooter]

For the very few that have watch the entire interview in context looking for truth, Sheriff Rigby was very fair and polite with that officer. There was no "bullying". Fox 13 is just trying to make controversy wherever it can for it's own purposes

[@jimsmith9819]

rmids2000, he was intimidating and threatening the officer

[@jameswest9261]

Appears on the video that the Sheriff is indicating that if the Officer wants to get along, he need to go along.

[@jimsmith9819]

@@jameswest9261 thats how i understood it

[@KriusAerion]

He basically said you either get with the program or you'll be on beat for life. That's literally quid pro quo and extremely unethical and borderline criminal.

[@paulkopp3634]

He just told him you didn’t see what you saw there was no excessive force understand ? The only way you can get in trouble is if you don’t do what we tell you .

[@EddiePass-d2h]

Key words his family and his friends and his church member...try listening to community not family and friends and his church of course u wont tell his bad side ...
