I posted this one because it's a tiny bit more family friendly than the one you mentioned. This scandal makes me think the Constitutional Sheriff movement might be very bad. https://www.themarshallproject.org/records/2587-constitutional-sheriffs-and-peace-officers-association https://www.themarshallproject.org/records/2587-constitution...

What is the connection between this incident and the Constitutional Sheriff movement?

  no direct connection I think the Constitutional Sheriff movement and idolization of local sheriffs is troubling.

For those new to the term "Constitutional Sheriff" > The Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) is a political organization of local police officials in the United States who contend that federal and state government authorities are subordinate to the local authority of county sheriffs. Self-described constitutional sheriffs assert that they are the supreme legal authority with the power and duty to defy or disregard laws they regard as unconstitutional. As a result, they may sometimes be referred to as sovereign sheriffs. via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Sheriffs_and_Peace_Officers_Association https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Sheriffs_and_Pe...

    Please don't. It's....er....full of terrorists here, portions are only half, there's a war 24 hours drive away, our politicians are not our representatives [apparently], we speak different languages and even dialects, clothing sizes are really fucked up - your XXXL might be hard to find - amazon is delivered by disabled people only, one part of Europe uses different money and a new part of Europe just got the same money as the rest of us, putting a big flag of 'your' country outside your house is seen as a bit odd (dickmove) unless the world cup is on, 'world' usually means just that when it comes to sports, our paper money denominations are different sizes so we can't fuck over the blind, we use the metric system (mostly), Piers Morgan and John Oliver come from over here, we have kings and queens -still, no 2nd amendment rights, pay is shit and we're all communists because a doctor will treat you after a more urgent case even with a gold AE card, but you don't have to pay much in the end so that's communism, too. In Holland, if you don't have a bicycle they fine you, in Finland you have to buy moose-knuckle-fish and in Spain if you're awake you absolutely have to report to work at least once a month unless you're french and then you can just set fire to it, unless you're italian and then everything is debatable, anyway. Until it comes to the Germans. Their vehicles, though technically 'superior', are indicator-free and, much like an actual Panzer, are free to go where they want, unless an Audi is involved. No-one cares for VW anymore, which is ironic, but real Europeans don't really get irony, like yourselves oh crap now I'm starting to sell the damn place. Er.....no guns!

Very few sheriffs had the guts to publicly state they would not enforce unconstitutional covid mandates. They were unconstitutional. That has been proven. It was illegal for officers of the law to enforce them. I don't think the primary law enforcement problem in the US is Sheriffs. Say what you will about police. These are not the same organizations.

      The OHSA mandate never went into effect as far as I know. Besides even if it did go into effect it wouldn't be something a sheriff would enforce, as it is up to OHSA to enforce its mandates.
      - upsidesinclude 4y ago
        The administration used news outlets to pump the mandate and companies preemptively executed the order. OSHA does not yet have any policing powers, this was an attempt to generate them.

        So what does this have to do with your original claim of police enforcing unconstitutional mandates? Nothing? I'm losing the thread here...
