this issue has been worsening over the years, the only answer is to swap out a majority of the force over time with national guardsmen. once a substantial swap has been made, say 250 officers, while the guardsmen take up the officers roles, the federal government can investigate the officers backgrounds during their time as guardsmen. once an officers background has been cleared, and a sizable number cleared, they and the guardsmen can rotate back into their original roles. rinse and repeat until you get through the entire force.

I remember it well. It's has been going on since the 80s!!! On the streets the cops used to be@t us with their big 4 D cell battery Mag Lights and call it "flashlight therapy", hogtie us and then drive us to rival g@ng territory and drop us off in the middle of the night and early hours of the morning at like 2am and leave us for de@d. These are things I experienced MYSELF!!! Other times they would plant d0pe on us and g*ns and frame us for crimes. They didn't want to do paperwork so they never really arrested people (unless they were framing you for something big). Nobody listened to us.

[@lawoftheland5923]

Because their money doesn’t come from taxes like state and city departments.

[@nicklibby3784]

​@@lawoftheland5923 In California, the counties have an elected body known as the “board of supervisors.” They are the ones that allocate the funds through an annual budget to each county agency, including the sheriff’s office. The board of supervisors also has the power to remove the sheriff despite them being democratically elected. By passing a bill. The board of supervisors is democratically elected by the people of the county. This is why it is so important for people to vote in their small local elections. They have the biggest direct impact on your day to day life. Only voting for President of the country doesn't actually impact your day to day life much. The president likely isn't going to fix the issues in your specific county or town. It is foolish to only vote for president and ignore your local elections.
