“Some More News — Maybe We Don’t Need Sheriffs”
Potentially NSFW language. Also: long video warning.
TL;DW they’re (at least in many states) not just another type of police force basically the same as the others, but a distinct kind of thing with a lot of autonomy and not a lot of checks on what they get up to. Unsurprisingly, they have a tendency toward corruption. And their lobbying groups are weird and creepy.
EDIT anyone wanna clue me in why this way-tamer-than-many-posts post is upsetting folks so much, so I can avoid doing it in the future? Does everyone else just already know this stuff about sheriffs (I didn’t find out until I was well into my 30s…)?
