He wasn't a cow thief, he was found Not Guilty of the cattle rustling, but guilty of terrorizing police.

On January 14, a jury found Brossart guilty of terrorizing police, though he was acquitted of theft and criminal mischief.
Had he allowed the illegal search of his property, he would have had no problem... but since he refused to allow the Po-Po on his ranch to look for the cows, and held them off at gunpoint... he's going to jail.
Still... the drones saw the cows... probably not that the guy gave a shit about the cows... next time, the cow owner will put up a fucking fence.
This is just part of the Illuminati-run government and news agencies conditioning the Proletariat's way of thinking... so in the future, we will be more accommodating to illegal searches of our property.
no big deal.
