The guy shaking hands with Betty Shelby – the former Tulsa cop who got away with murder – is Rogers County Sheriff Scott Walton. He hired Shelby as a reserve deputy in August of 2017 after she was acquitted of ruthlessly killing Terence Crutcher. I guess he was impressed with Shelby’s ability to lose cool under pressure, and her expertise in ruthlessly gunning down unarmed inebriated black men that may frighten her.
Knowing what we know about Sheriff Walton’s questionable decision-making when it comes to hiring staff, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that he recently followed the lead of Sheriff Steve Kelley and shared some authoritarian, misinformed, factless thoughts and views on State Question 788 on Facebook. He started things by posting this letter on Rogers County letterhead:
Yeah, that’s it. “Despicable corporate business investors” are using “propaganda to influence the political system” and “misinform law abiding citizens” in an effort to “compromise Oklahoma’s wholesome existence,” says the sheriff who is using his department’s official Facebook page to influence the political system and misinform law-abiding citizens so he can continue to lock-up Oklahomans and profit off of the draconian enforcement of marijuana prohibition. Thank God we have stand-up guys like Sheriff Walton keeping Oklahoma wholesome.
He followed that post with this outrageous, misinformed rant on medical marijuana edibles:
Question? Is there a good medical strain flower that works for low IQ simpletons who have to resort to lies, fear and basic misinformation to try to get their way? If so, can you send an 1/8th to Sheriff Walton? He needs it. Check out this lie:
The line between how much of the product could relieve chronic pain in an adult and how much can harm or kill a child can be fairly thin, and with edibles that look like candy, sugar-coated cereal and yummy baked treats, the chances of a child accidentally consuming edible marijuana are high.
In case you didn’t know, that’s just made up bullshit. The only thing that can harm or kill a child in that photo is the gun. Out of all the billions and billions and billions of hits, tokes and brownies consumed in the U.S. each year, there has never been one reported death from a marijuana overdose. And that’s according to the DEA, another organization that profits from the prohibition of drugs.
Also, how old are those edibles? I get up to Colorado a few times each year, and every dispensary I’ve been to packages edibles in boring gray or black containers. Either someone is peddling old or counterfeit ditch edibles in Rogers County, or Walton is using an old photo to try and prove a point that doesn’t exist. It could also be both.
Didn’t that other guy get in trouble for spreading his opinion on his local police’s social media?
Anyways, when it’s legalized, I’ll be the first to offer him a J.
I don’t think this sheriff realizes just how many Oklahomans vacation in Colorado and have seen first hand recreational hasn’t made any negative impact on their state beyond increased debate on where to allocate the additional revenue.
“Despicable corporate business investors” are using “propaganda to influence the political system” and “misinform law abiding citizens” in an effort to “compromise Oklahoma’s wholesome existence,”
Isn’t that standard practice for every piece of legislation that is being proposed…? Isn’t that called lobbying and providing campaign contributions…? Oh, and coporate bullying… As I said, standard practice in Oklahoma… As it turns out, Oklahoma legislators are pretty cheap too. $500 or $1000 will get them to push your agenda blindly…
Oh, he proved the point exists. Its right there underneath his hat. 😉
I’m in Rogers County, I walk past this guy high af at least four times a year.
His time is over, his day is done. People like this this assclown and his ilk are finished. Bye bye bitch…
He appeared in uniform in commercials for Tulsa pawn shop. Classy showboat shill of a hypocrite
So how do we ask someone to prosecute these uneducated assholes for interfering with a SQ with gov’t resources (as was mentioned in the other article linked to in this one)? DAs don’t have email, do we write a letter or call them and tell them where to look and what statute they’re supposedly violating? Will they care, is that how someone like this gets busted or do we just sit by and hope something happens to them (which it won’t unless someone like us points it out to someone that can and will prosecute)?
Is he incompetent , corrupt or both? The Federal Government owns over 140 patents for cannabis and its medical value and uses.\ Does this seem hypocritical to you?…….One side of their mouth, they say it has no medicinal value, out of the other side of their mouth, they are applying for patents because of research, and its medicinal value…….Which do you believe? Vote for the truth.\

While we’re talking about it, why hasn’t the senate’s fiddling with what we’re voting on made more news and receiving more of a bashing? Did I miss something? Yen and his cronies have almost got it blocked for PTSD!
Geez, this place. I got transplanted here from overseas (Germany) due to a job transfer. Nothing against Oklahoma or its people, but it is “interesting”, and I chuckle quite a bit following the local events. Love this site, BTW…
I moved to Colorado in June. My husband needed legal cannabis after surviving stage 4 esophageal cancer. I have learned to dose with a low THC high CBD for my own arthritis pain. I use a higher thc in the evenings. In the 9 months since moving away from Oklahoma, I haven’t needed otc pain meds or anti depressants, nor do I ever foresee being drunk. I still drink on occasion with certain meals, but I much prefer cannabis. I was a teacher for 23 years, and I feel guilty for all the misinformation I taught during red ribbon weeks. I certainly hope that my home state can find a way to bring legal cannabis to the shelves.
Hey he can go to work for Chanel 4/5/9/43/52/78/101/1543698 and use their brainwashing platform
plus company time and letterhead to tell us how to vote.
Bet their slim healthy deputies who influence oh wait I mean enforce the law can’t read the 25 ft non smoking sign at the courthouse.
If Colorado fu so much why do they have smoke free casinos? Much nicer cars no 150k miler trucks, clean air, clean water and food. Good court systems. Low percentage of population incarcerated.
Oklahoma is in the top 10 in so many categories. None good.
This bill is about not jailing sick peoples who need this. Life in prision for making weed extract.
For your breast cancer survivor wife. Got to love lyrica and cymbalta……….droooooolllll…..
Notice the news media mind control blitz never mentioned how medical marijuana income taxes pay for teacher shit in other states.
Wonder if undercover brother has ever tipped a beer? Burnt a doobie with his brother in law bc he won’t tell. I have many cop/judge/attorney friends who do.
But seriously can’t someone get a cease-and-desist with this guy. Illegal influence of election he does not agree with. The preacher telling the congregation how to vote. Take his 501 3 c.
Hope they vote their heart.
