ACAB but sheriff's offices are probably some of the worst. They seem to have the lowest qualifications for entry and a real hillbilly mentality. I'm sure offices like this bury people in the back 9 that never get discovered.

Probably because sheriffs are elected, and aren't overseen by any government body. In between elections, they can do anything they want. The podcast In The Dark covered how a Minnesota county sheriff bungled, and then covered up, the investigation of the disappearance of Jacob Wetterling in 1989. Around the country, sheriff departments consistently have crime clearance rates below 20%. Pathetic.

That depends on the state. In mine they're policed by the state troopers, and there's really no blue brotherhood there because the troopers think they're better than regular cops.

4 of the 7 people working for the sheriff's office (including the sheriff's son) are up against charges. It's always the "law and order" types that break the law and order.

This is a case where calling them pigs tends to slander the barnyard animal who's way smarter than these bozos.

That's slander to clowns, who contribute way more to society than these jackasses.

That is slander to mules who provide valuable functions to people way beyond what these anal fissures provide.

That is slander to assholes that provide animals with a way to safely remove waste to people way beyond these cesspools of human excrement.

This is slander to excrement, a nutrient rich component of the cycle which sustains us

They look exactly as I expected them to look.
