Reserve deputy: guy with the orange flashlights directing traffic out of the football parking lot.
Well maybe, most of the time.
Yet it’s hard to separate this from the more general role of the sheriff, and one never knows when he will be called on to do more.
This is a contemporary problem due to the fact that acting as a LGBTQWERTYUIOP isn’t illegal anymore, yet they still commit a disproportionate amount of legal offenses.
Is the thing that one has a personal right to do, the right thing to do? Sometimes it isn’t. You can stick your foot in something and there could still be no law saying you can’t, and there might not even be a good reason to have such a law. But the consequences can’t also be chosen.
I don’t know how to address this without getting hyper preachy, but I am trying and apologize if I have failed. God help me on to higher ground yet.
