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.

    FYI Sheriff Skinner is a DINO. There is a rule that says an appointed sheriff has to be the same party as the person they are replacing. Skinner changed parties so he would be eligible.

      That’s only if they’re filling in the rest of the term. I don’t know if that’s what happened but I did want to clarify that Arizona doesn’t tie voter’s hands. Only the executive.

        It is. Skinner was appointed last February, and changed his party affiliation to Dem the day after his predecessor sheriff Penzone said he would quit.
