This Sheriff is absolutely telling the truth. I hope it starts a trend when other police leadership come out and tell the public the truth about what the hell is going on their judicial system.
Failed war on drugs now becomes war on Constitution and citizens
Revolving door prosecution letting violent criminals back on the street with little or no punishment, multiple times. Private practice attorneys flourish and making a killing from repeat offenders.
High crime rates have forced police departments to have more staff and as a result, they are hiring people who would never be considered for law enforcement. Political hiring running rampant as well.
To maintain the war on drugs, police agencies have had to resort to things like fixed radar posts and red light cameras to generate revenue, which have exorbitant fines.
Because of weak prosecution, and still very high crime rate, citizens have lost all faith in the judicial system to protect them from repeat offenders. Whereas twenty years ago there was not such a hue and cry for citizens to arm themselves for everyday concealed carry, more and more people are doing it and even considering open carry of rifles. And yet the judicial system remains willingly ignorant or cognizant of this.
Angry mobs of people with firearms tend to have summary court, guilt finding, sentence, and execution in a very short period of time. The problem becomes when those mobs fully realize the expediency of their methods and that ANY offense can be a hangin’ offense.
Well said. Too bad Walter Monroe Lance can’t read. Bet he knows what the pointy end of a gun is, though.
