There was an issue a few years ago in Tulsa where the sheriff was deputizing political cronies with minimal training, and one of them,a man in his 70s, fatally shot someone.

"The reserve sheriff’s deputy in Tulsa, Okla., who killed an unarmed suspect, apparently after mistaking his pistol for a Taser"

It'd be funny if it wasn't something that actually happened.
