Phoenix police had to apologize earlier this month after Talan’s parents Becky and Travis Renner received special valet parking services from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office cops.

A deputy was seen pulling the millionaire gym owners’ white Tesla Model X into a private car park so they could avoid running a gauntlet of journalists.

Authorities took months to name the suspects, with enraged locals who demanded justice and claimed the young boys’ powerful families were preventing justice from being served.

    have at least had Democratic Sheriff’s since

    As a Houston resident with a “democrat” at the mayoral level and in a number of police offices, I can’t tell you how little this changes things. These people wear the (D) name badge to win the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” demographic, then run as far to the right as our fascist state government allows.
