Cop literally wants a convicted felon to run the country, I can't come up with a better satire for how little police care about rule of law... Or a better argument for the "Ban the Box" initiative
I'm definitely all for loosening restrictions on former felons.. Look bro, if we can have a convicted felon running for office, no reason why they can't vote or hold jobs if they've done their time right?
This sheriff would need to check the color of their hat before he agrees or not. And the color of their skin.

So basically he's saying he has no faith or confidence in the criminal justice system? Wouldn't that kind of... I dunno... disqualify you from a job in the criminal justice system?
I've think a lot of cops express how unhappy they are with the justice systems. Imagine getting a call for a domestic abuse. Show up and see this piece of shit beat his wife and kid. You arrest them and put them in jail. 6 months later you get another call same fucking guy same fucking thing. The courts gave him a reduced sentence. Rinse and repeat for your career. You're catching the same dirt bags over and over and the justice system keeps putting them back out there cause they either are too lenient or under funded to handle them. Cops can make the arrest but have no control over the justice system. I get a lot of us hate cops but I think we can all empathize how hard it would be to see the same people every couple months victimizing the same people
Or we could try a system that actually tried to rehabilitate people. Nah, that's too much work. Best just keep people in jail.
Many don't want to change. They know what they know and lifestyle is set in. Like asking if you can be rehabilitated to be a trump supporter. Some thing's are just in you and will never change

The obvious solution is to follow the model of Judge Dredd. That worked out well.

Yes, Eugene Debs, please.
- who was basically jailed on political pretexts but still..
Dude. Even Willie Nelson wasn’t a felon. 😳
The mental gymnastics involved here are beyond Olympics level. This guy just should just admit he wants to suck Trump's dick, it's the only way it makes sense.
I went to a party hosted by a conservative guy. The poster they had of Trump was basically porn.
Oh yeah, I remember hearing about this as a local-ish. He's bum hurt about criminal justice reform in Cali (non violent offenders getting less or no jail time, that kinda thing). Makes this job "harder" he says.
It hasn't been smooth sailing, mind you-- but it's at least the government trying to do something about an overcrowded prison system.
On the flip side, you don't have people spending close to a decade in prison awaiting trial, where the prosecution is hoping they are so tired of it, they will offer a crappy plea deal for time served, even if they have no case.
makes the job harder
"I miss back in the days when you could just kill someone on the mere suspicion they've committed a crime. Shit was way easier."
It makes me wonder honestly if cops were always this corrupt, or if they've become more corrupt over time. I'd believe either being the case honestly, but maybe the former is a perception borne from all the pro police media there were in the 90s, 00s, and 10s. Hell, even today.

That is also how I read it lol, fuck this guy
Makes his job harder? GOOD. Policing communities should never be an easy job. And you signed up for it, numb nuts.
"Wait it's not just shooting brown people?!"
