If the sheriff is indicted, he would be suspended pending the outcome of his criminal proceedings.
Want to know why cops get away with so much of this kind of behavior? Because dirty cops have so much shit on half the department, including the Sheriff and Prosecutor, they would take all the others down with them. I call it a “mutual extortion society”.
Indictment is not required for the governor to suspend an elected municipal official for cause. To the point, Israel would never be indicted in deep blue Broward County, nor would Brenda Snipes.
I second that, BIG TIME!!!!!
