A county Sheriff is an elected position where a police chief is an appointed one. Also a Sheriff is law enforcement in rural areas. If the rioters go out into the county, now they have to deal with armed citizens who WILL defend their lives and their property.

>>I would tell them, if you value your life, they probably shouldn’t do that in Polk County. Because the people of Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage them to own guns, and they’re going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded<<

Both that Sheriff, and The President, are sending a strong message to city folk everywhere....including the snowflakes.
