Not one should be allowed to remain in office or employed. Keep up the pressure to remove them. Persist.

Giving them a chance to resign and preserve their retirements? Fire them and they lose everything!

They shouldn't even be given a chance to resign. Remove them.

Local newspaper actually digging up something? Definitely making a point to support small newspapers .

[yikes]

Oklahoman here. Came to say that this incident isn't just a one time thing. This happens all over Oklahoma. Racism is just disguised as Christianity here.

Early in my journalism career I worked for a small and poor daily in Texas that was absolutely fearless. When a supermarket chain, our biggest advertiser, threatened to drop its account because of my reporting, the publisher told me to keep digging. Your local television can't -- and won't -- give you this kind of journalism. Please support your local newspaper.
And if they aren't doing their job, hold them to account.

They’re trying to say the recording was illegally obtained and it’s been altered. 😂😂 You got caught is what’s happening.

This just goes to show how corrupt the system is & what they can probably get away with.

[gobot]

Protect and support these news writers. They are risking their life

[katiesioux]

Good for that ol man for standing up to the disgusting corruption 🎯💯

[Seaneey]

They should be charged with the planning of murders.

Brave old man. That guy (Newspaper guy) is a real American.

[judithsullivan]

That's just one county. I'm sure lots of the counsels infiltrated by extremism talk this way and just don't get caught!

3 officials where in a illegal meeting it seems under the states laws..
and thus discusses committing illegal acts against a citizen of their community..
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

If the sheriff and his cronies keep their jobs, then we know the judge is also in on it.

When you fear integrity and accountability, you are NOT the good guys!

[nathansamuelson]

I believe I heard the governor is getting the FBI involved. Hope so, the entire clip is damning and disgraceful.

[kmlckd]

Nice to see the sheriff teaching his son how to commit crimes as well. It's a family affair. Sounds like these people involved and their families need to be run out of town.

[saul]

Absolutely disgusting. They need to review the case history of all of these officials to investigate whether their bias led to unjust incarceration or other (worse) crimes.

[Steve-ounw]

You don't even have to ask which party they support.
