That's all I've been discussing ~ the sheriff.
Let's look at what you said:
Post 65 "Very old fashioned, but there's no shop-lifting, no sheriff, and no ill-will."
This would obviously be a responding officer, not "the sheriff".
Post 71 "his vacation relief, his second and third shift relief,"
"The sheriff" doesn't have vacation relief, or second shift relief, or third shift relief.
Post 74 "For you to have an hour of the time of a sheriff, at your residence, while you report a crime"
Oh look there's you talking about a sheriff as a responding officer.
Post 77 "divide them by the number of hours actually worked by a sheriff, "
There's you once again talking about a sheriff doing responding officer work.
Post 79 "After all, if the sheriff wasn't arresting those people why would you need an attorney?"
There you have a sheriff that's arresting people, since top dog sheriffs almost never do actual arrests you must once again be talking about responding officers.
And then all of a sudden in post 85 you insist you're not talking about responding officers, only the guy in charge. You're a liar.
