How strange that the Sherrif would hobble his own numbers of available officers. All of a sudden, they are ‘unsuitable’.
He must have substitutes already in mind to fill those spots.

The article mentions one iffy / bad shoot by one deputy,

so the sjw non profit race hustlers used it as a way to run 46 out on a rail on psyche reasons.

( they probably said crazy things like there are only 2 sexes or all lives matter )

It’s an attempt to limit liability.

They have been handwaving the psych tests for decades.

Now they care?

They didn’t fire them, just took away their self defense and put them back out on the safe, sane, mostly peaceful Oakland city streets.

IMHO both should be given regular random drug tests and have to wear body cameras.

Not even sure we can trust modern psychological exams. Who knows what the current parameters are. Probably political like everything else.

Eventually, the complainers will look for a way to replace this Sherrif too. He probably doesn’t realize that yet, him being so busy trying to please and impress them.

They don’t dare give this test to the FBI. They’d all have to turn in their guns and badges.

I think this is a legitimate check that should be made of all law enforcement everywhere. No exceptions.
