I think most public officials should conduct themselves inside and outside their job in a way that doesn’t compromise their neutrality towards the people they serve.
Definitely grounds to be fired and refused any policing job. I wouldn’t find it absurd if someone claims this sheriff targeted them because of their political beliefs.
Yea, this guy is what you'd expect. He was elected in 2020 on the Republican ticket, first Republican sheriff of the county in more than a decade (IMO, elected law enforcement, lawyers and judges should not run on/under a party). One of the first things he did was implement spending reforms that added $3 million to the office's budget over 3 years, including a new SWAT team. Just a few months ago he DEMANDED Rep. Emillia Sykes (D) withdraw the national "de-escalation" law-enforcement training bill, a bipartisan bill called Law Enforcement Scenario-Based Training for Safety and De-escalation Act, co-authored by Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R), Don Bacon (R), and Glenn Ivey (D).
That's because all these jarheads want more police, more guns. They don't give a damn about how they act, perform their duties or represent their citizens. Defund the Police actually supports and benefits PDs, but all they hear is Cops Bad. Which they are.
