Why the fuck does he still have a fucking job?!?!?! My god I fucking hate how shit is run in this country. What a joke!
Any one of us would have been fired for FAR less.
Yet here we hate cheering that this piece of shit was slapped on the wrist.
Sheriffs are usually voted in.
I understand how they’re hired. That’s not in question. What I don’t understand is why he wasn’t fired.
You can’t fire public officials but may be able to impeach them. Don’t doubt it: the majority want this guy.
Depending on the state- a governor has the authority to fire a sheriff. And yes- Ohio’s governor does have this authority.
Ergo…. The asshole should be fired.
Nice. Then that answers that question. I e nobody cares. Not really
Eh, at most you can say a plurality of those who voted when he was elected in 2020 checked the box by his name. We'll see whether this dipshit gets reelected.
Dude is doing his job. Cops are supposed to attack marginalized groups. Always been that way.
Democrats are not "a marginalized group" but otherwise sure
I mean, if you live and work in Ohio, you probably won't be fired for being an out and proud racist unless it gets picked up by the news. He's allowed to do this because he's protected by all the other bigots in his state, and Ohio is full of them.
