Where in the hell are we gonna find all these "people friendly sheriff's"? In most case's of corruption it's the sheriff's dept that is the most corrupt, at least it is in my neck of the woods. What would stop the feds from investigating the sheriff for what ever? What would stop the feds from bringing up some silly ass charges against the sheriff or his minions ?
In one of the county's in my state N.C. we had a sheriff that had his own T.V. show about the criminals in his jail. And he drove a sheriff's car called" DDT" with a giant black widow painted across the doors. I beleive he and his deputies were charged with drug trafficing and dealing. Needless to say, he aint the sheriff any longer.
No matter what the elected office is. The main concern of anybody in elected office, Is to get re-elected to that office or position. If the sheriffs in this country want to show their power. Then start protecting the Occupy Protesters. After all all cities are located within a county, are they not? IMHO we simply need to tear it all down and start from scratch. keep what works, throw out what don't.
I think the sheriff,s name was " Hege" and it was in Davidson County Please see wikipedia attached.
Yea these are the guys I want to have all the power.

This is how it worked before the federal control of everything. And it was very easy for criminals to escape a state after commiting a crime.

Ok say a sheriff kicks the tsa or any other fed or state groups out of his town.
Fed and state aid would be pulled and the sheriff would have to do all of the patrolling him/herself.
Plus someone would assassinate him or his character and he would not be sheriff in the next term.
What incentive does the sheriff have to do this?
Why not just keep his power and cash?
It is only a game.

Devil's advocate btw for the easily offended.
But you know I am right.

Stuff I Don't Like:
Misinformation artists; there are many in the government that can only hold their power and job if they can successfully misinform the public.

Great job acquiring all these flags with a misleading thread as well as making it onto the front page.

State rights are where it's at and our last hope probably.
That is what I'm starting to believe. State rights are going to be where the dividing line starts, and the Sheriffs have the right to stand up for each state's rights.edit on 25-10-2011 by RussianScientists because: (no reason given)
