RIGHT!
Stated by the sheriff’s department.
Of course, there were a great many far more believable things stated by OTHERS which YOU chose to just disbelieve out-of-hand.
I choose to believe that the sheriff is mis-stating the facts. There is almost NO chance that a 21st century sherrif’s department in a county near a major city is issuing REVOLVERS as service weapons.
Then again, maybe he’ll make a statement tomorrow to the effect that his deputies are still using single shot flint-lock pistols - and you can jump in and tell us ALL how “the sheriff SAID it!!!”

Yes because what I’ve read of these folks makes me believe they were disingenuous from the get-go, more than one year ago.
Also, why in tarnation would the sheriff say they had “no semiautomatics” if they in fact have semiautomatics?
There’s no conceivable profit in lying about it, or else it was a misquote by the reporter.
