This is a salient point. My county's sheriff of 23 years lost election last year because he had enacted a policy of keeping low-level drug offenders out of jail for the crime of being high. he had fired two officers whose policy was cracking skulls. In the election, the 'law and order' candidate stoked fears that if he didn't win, the current sheriff would launch a pogrom against all cops who wanted to "carry out the law". So the skull cracker won by 56% and rehired his skull-cracking friends. Lotta white people up here.I wonder how far your vote goes in your district re: the police chief or commissioner, your mayor, and so on.
