sorry mod.
Pretty weak in terms of showing that this really is a current, real, focused effort of any significance. I see more, bigger, real threats to be concerned about.
This kind of crap has been going on across the board, often under the guise of saving money.
My governor would like to get rid of all these pesky townships that won’t enact ordinances he and his urban friends like. There are others who want to consolidate all the school districts in the county into one.
Where does the power to do this come from? I live in an unincorporated part of the county. There is no State Police office around here that I am aware of, just sheriffs. Who will they send if I need LEO help? Democrats need to be abolished.

Jan 2, 2013 Court decides on how much power sheriff has.
127 sheriffs won’t enforce Obama gun laws.
I thought like 20 years ago that it would not be possible for the federal government do things like patrol our highways which is left to the individual states and subdivisions of state police/highway or state patrols or local cops. Unfortunately now, I can see it where there is a possibility of having a national highway patrol and that role could be played by TSA. Already done in TN with commercial vehicles.
Personally, I was pulled over in Missouri for speeding back in Nov 2007. I passed a Homeland Security police car with US GSA plates and about 20 miles down the road, I got pulled over by the MO State Highway Patrol and the DHS guy was with the patrolman behind him. What I remember is the patrolman went back to the DHS car and came to mine. When I dealt with the court for the speeding ticket, I was not even allowed to plea bargain the ticket. I was told if I attempted to plea bargain, I would expect other charges to be filed besides speeding.
For those who don’t know: Deleware has only 3 counties, the least of any state. 88 is the average.
Consequently it may be the test case for the democrats to centralize all power to the state, in preparation for the next move to all federal power.
sorry mod.
If the states are so stupid and cowardly as to allow this naked power grab, they...and we...deserve to be enslaved by the federal government. This should spark states to consider secession.
Yes and here’s why.
Sheriff’s are the top LEO in a county. They are the only LEO in the county that has jurisdiction in the entire county.
They also are the only LEO that can kick the feds out of their county. Technically they can approve or disapprove of any federal LEOs actions in their county. The feds can’t do anything in a county if the sheriff says NO.
That’s why they want to get rid of them.
Never let them get rid of sheriffs. If anyone has to go your local town cops are the ones to let go.
I would muster for a response, should the local sheriff ask.
