ONLY WEBB BELIEVES THEY WENT TOO FAR

Republican Mark Webb: "If I'm the Sheriff today, and those are my officers out there, I'm going to start looking for ways to take corrective action, and maybe provide training."

Republican Jim Arnott: Deputies acted "appropriately . . . did the right thing."

Republican Gene Thomlinson: "I didn't see that the officer did anything wrong in what he did. This was a situation where the officer was using his best judgment I think."

Democrat Mike Ramon: "She did what she needed to do to protect herself from her state of mind. The officers did what they needed to do to protect themselves . . . I think this is a happy ending."

Democrat Jerry McGeeHee: "I would've told my daughter to do the same thing."
