Reminder:
Sheriffs are the ONLY police not under the thumb of the insurance companies and the UN.
They're voted in - not selected... and not glorified rent-a-cops with para-military gear, of incorporated towns. You, hopefully, DO realize towns are corporations... and their police are paid to enforce their corporate laws - AKA tax collectors. They gotta make that town money. Protect and serve? Yeah... ain't protecting or serving anything but agg to you... not all, but most these days. They protect and serve their corporate masters.
Then you've got things like motor vehicle laws, pushed by actuaries at insurance companies... and your lovely building department, following the UCC, also pushed by ins cos. Etc, etc, etc.
Sheriffs are hit or miss in terms of them being a stand for The People and specifically, the Constitution. This is why voting the right guy in makes a huge difference. Case in point, the sheriff mentioned by OP. My county, the sheriff is a no good lazy bean bag... we're trying to get him out.
Excellent reminder. City Police Chiefs are picked by the Mayors and city council and not the people. So what you get many times are boot lickers.
Well said, u/TaQo
