    Subject: I have serious questions regarding the incident of Feb. 15, 2022 at Freedom Elementary School

    Story:

    https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/8-year-old-boy-disabilities-assaulted-pinned-facedown-wyoming-school-o-rcna127953

    Officer involved:

    Deputy Benjamin Jacquot

    • Why hasn’t this man been summarily fired? He clearly violated department policies, in particularly heinous fashion, and deleted body cam footage. That does not warrant immediate termination?
    • Why has this man not been arrested? Was there no probable cause of a crime?
    • What is the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office’s policy on accessing private school records?
    • Will he be able to continue law enforcement in your county or state, or anywhere else?
    • What is the county’s policy on beating the shit out of 8-year olds by police officers entrusted to protect them?
    • Non-answers will make you more famous than I’m already aiming for.

    Solid answers. Now. And they had better start with, “Mr. Jacquot is no longer employed by the Laramie County Sheriff’s Office.”

    In a cruel example of irony, this happened at Freedom Elementary School.

    The deputy broke every rule he could find, strong armed and bloodied an 8 year old IEP student, deleted cam footage, accessed the child’s private school records…and despite all this, the sheriff’s department didn’t discipline or retrain the deputy.

    So he’s still out there, endangering society and little kids.
