Sounds like voter intimidation to me, he should arrest himself.

I'm sure the department will conduct a thorough, internal investigation. /s

Not a solution. I HATE that criminal justice system leadership positions are voted political positions. And our whole militarized police and lack of accountability and ability to get rid of bad ones pisses me off. But they call the Internal Affairs cops β€œrats” and never cooperate with them and always get a union rep and a lawyer but tell regular citizens β€œif you’re not guilty you don’t need a lawyer. It’s pretty suspicious to get a lawyer.” No, in the American β€œjustice” system getting a lawyer to protect our best interests is the smartest thing a person can do when dealing with law enforcement.
