“If the sheriffs lose their arrest ability then Delaware will be a de facto police state.” -Delaware Sussex County Sheriff Jeff Christopher
The sherriff is the common law, law-man. Hurrah for lawful law!
We already have militarized police. We put ex-military as police officers. We provide police departments with military grade weaponry.
