Hey, uhm not arresting people for drugs is probably because they are in the pocket of drug dealers or politicians who are in the pocket of dealers.

Anyways sheriffs do shady things all the time, like money seizures and home foreclosures and tenet eviction. All of which are typically tied to shady business practices, unethical eviction, robber baron rent hikes.

Not sure about most of the US (well I kind of am) but in New York that is how it is. Everything is corrupt when elections and money and power is involved and sometimes the wrong people have injustice strikes against them.

Unfortunately public elections don’t mean much as to convince a populous of people to elect the right way is an impossible task by two fold.

A) any candidate you elect will have to succumb to tradition and president set by the office previously, especially when finances are considered.

B) even if the running platform is maintained getting a candidate who can do such and getting the populous to back the candidate will be an arduous task.
