My mom once got caught up in a sheriff's scheme to get funds to improve his jail. On Halloween night 2002, at 10PM, my mom got arrested for 'writing bad checks'. (The truth on that front was that my mom bought a washing machine with a check, and the store lost their data on the transaction and for some reason didn't bother to just contact the bank to get it back.) So my mom, a lovable grandma of 12, was taken to jail too late to post bail and shoved into a cell with about 20 other women. She had to sleep on a concrete floor with no blanket that night, and tend to a young woman who had not been given her diabetes medication. The whole reason for this was that the local sheriff was wanting to pack his jail so that it seemed constantly crowded for an inspection November 1st, and get the money from the Iowa government to expand the facility. Thankfully, when the judge oversaw my mom's case the next morning, he went ballistic, and started a large investigation with a number of other officials. The sheriff lost his job, and the officer who arrested my mom literally got demoted to parking duty.

I had a similar situation, only the sheriff deputies copied all pertinent information in my wallet then drained my account. Nothing ever happened to them, because the judge was the sheriff son. Cops need better checks and balances. Time for a federal over site committee. Then charge cops triple fines with no professional courtesy bullshit. They need to be held to a higher standard.

POLICE WERE LITERALLY CREATED BY EMPERORs, DIRTY POLITICIANS, THE ROBBER BARONS, KKK JUDGES, etc. THE RICH CREATED POLICE TO PROTECT THE RICH FROM US LITTLE PEOPLE who are robbed by this SUPER-MAFIA every day. ex: the ROBBER BARONS of the late 1800s America... had to hire PRIVATE SECURITY b/c they were stealing, uh, making so much money off the helpless citizenry. "Wait a minute!" said one Robber Baron, "WHY are we paying for our OWN security? Let's create a PUBLIC security force that protects us, but make the IDIOT TAXPAYERS fund it!!!" No joke. Police are LITERALLY a Criminal Enterprise in EVERY way, under current laws. But wimps like John Oliver, funded by The Establishment, pussyfoots around this super-mafia. (EX: cops rape women EVERY day in Amerikkka, and no one cares!!) (When they've busted rapist cops, it always turns out that everyone knew and everyone looked the other way!) ALL OF AMERICA'S HOLIDAYS ARE FOR THE ENEMY OF POLICE!!! HOW THE F did everyone ignore that minor fact?

In Europe electing someone like a local police chief is completely unthinkable, and we generally have a lot less Police violence and corruption too. To a certain degree I understand where it's probably coming from, when the US started electing Sheriffs, most of us were still ruled over by Kings and Emperors, and while it usually (outside of Czarist Russia, the Ottoman Empire and the Papal States) were constitutional monarchies, not absolutist ones, it still had very little in common with what we see as democracy today, pretty authoritarian even in the best of cases. The idea of having positions with some serious coercive power, like a sheriff or judge be elected offices, would have seemed reasonable, and an improvement over such officials simply be appointed by the Monarch and the ministers of his goverment, on whom people had zero influence at all. Fair for it's day. Unfortunately it didn't work out that well in the long run, and elections by themselves insufficient protections from abuse and overreach.

He didn't say she was just a runaway or drag his feet he was on it and got ppl involved who got to her in time. I was told he actually broke some rules to make sure my child got home safe but when I asked him about it he just said he would do anything to make sure children were safe as he is a father himself and would be devestated to be in the same position with his daughters.

Great point about profit in criminal justice. On top of the fact that 80 % of offenders from urban areas are indigent defendants, meaning they can not afford representation and are assigned court appointed attorney's, almost guaranteeing a system of prosecuting offenders with extremely high conviction rates, who also have no way to pay to be released from jail on bail as the bail system is also run on profit and near "pay day loan" status when negotiating an interest rate if you want to be released on a bail loan. Surprisingly John never mentions the startling fact that Sheriff's do not need any law enforcement experience whatsoever to be one, and can hire literally anyone to be a deputy in their office, most of the time based on who contributed to their campaign. This is a fantastic way to guarantee a poorly responding law enforcement arm to crisis scenarios as they have no standards enforced by really anyone. Sheriffs honestly should be an office which is transformed. I understand that the founding elements of the country wanted to keep sheriff's elected so that the governor or the state could not appoint anyone they wanted to, but we have the resources now with a solid check's and balances system to ensure qualified individuals who can pass a background check are made Sheriff.

The fear the founders had of law enforcement being an agent of an ongoing mob mentality, or appointed against the interest of the people is disuaded by the amount of corruption that can be quickly exposed today. Which is why Sherrifs should be nothing more then a police chief with a seperate jurisdiction at county instead of the municipality level and a different set of responsibilities, with enforceable standards in my opinion.

This was 2 months before it was announced he was being investigated for his part in the embezzlement, along with another county employee and others, of over $25 million. When the dispatcher called him and said “ the boys are coming to pick you up “ he said okay I will be behind the shed. They found him there, dead. He put a bullet in his head. But he claimed prior to that that he was innocent.

You guys should do a feature on the 1985 Philadelphia bombing. I just learned about it and I was shocked it's not more widely known. It really needs someone with your platform to raise awareness again. Police bombed a headquarters for black activists, and let the fire burn for over and hour. They opened fire on the survivors of the fire. And no one involved has received any sort of discipline or charge. Now really seems like the time for justice.

My wife went to jail over a failure to appear, got a seatbelt ticket, paid it online but because of a computer glitch it didn't register she paid. Perfect circumstances lined up when she was randomly stopped they ran her licenses and took her to jail, Elbert county Ga. only allow inmates 1 pad a week. There was no a/c, just windows, and they were in the middle of a lockdown, she was put in a cell with 2 other women and they gave her a hard foam mattress on the floor because of overcrowding. Her bail was about 1200 if I remember right. She is the most vanilla person, doesn't drink, do drugs, barely even drives, and is a vet tech but has went to jail. Good people go to jail and it isn't always their fault.

That's fucked up. Edit: theres a guy on YT named Badger, who has been on with BigHerc (shout out, dont get ya wig split) who served like 20 years for being involved in a murder in a county jail while he was awaiting trial, no money for bail and no real family iirc. He was driving on a suspended license. A powerful inmate basically made him participate in killing a child molester, because he didnt have his papers to prove that he, Badger, was not also a child molester. Somehow his papers got delayed, and in prison politics thats a huge no no - it is taken as a sign that an inmate is hiding something. i think he was doing a month in county awaiting trial for a drug charge. Guy has horrific PTSD from being in a max security state prison. Saw people die many times, Rapes, etc. He talked about a guy who got raped repeatedly and then snapped one night, got a pencil and with an open fist rammed the pencil as hard as he could through the guys ear and it killed the rapist. Badgers talked about hearing the killer laugh hysterically real creepy like, and he found out how the guy died later and recalled the loud *thwap* of the pencil and put two and two together. There are more stories but it gets hard to watch because you know the guy is absolutely tortured by all of this, even zoning out during videos. All started out because he was a hard dude who was being a punk while he was a young adult. He's not a psychopath, just a guy who got really fucked by the way jails+prisons are in the US. He's got tons of crazy stories, man is still on his journey to find peace but hes out now doing his best. Just goes to show why going to jail can ruin peoples' lives. Sorry for hijacking the thread, not my goal. We should listen to the pleading for prison reforms. We need it.

As for the guy who wouldn’t allow his officers to carry narcan, there were two police officers in Bartlesville, Oklahoma who were conducting a traffic stop and found various drugs, including fentanyl in the car and while processing the drugs at the station were exposed to lethal amounts of the drug and had an accidental overdose. Both of the officers were saved by the narcan administered to them immediately after falling to the ground by their fellow officers before the ambulance arrived. Narcan doesn’t just save the lives of addicts, it also saves the lives of those accidentally exposed, whether it be law enforcement, children, or loved ones. Denying those officers the ability to carry narcan puts innocent civilian lives at risk as well as his own police officers.

I sympathize with the sheriff honestly. I live in Olympia, it is a drug-infested hellhole of a city where people just stand in the middle of the streets ODing, pointing guns and yelling "LIZARD", or just taking a crap on the sidewalk. The police continually save these people from ODing with narcan and it isn't cheap to do so. I have seen the same guy saved 5 separate times with Narcan, the same guy that bashed in the windows of the new Starbucks for no reason. Businesses are being ruined constantly in Olympia and Seattle due to the drug problem and a crude solution would be to stop administering Narcan to those who have already received a dose prior.
@RyanRex
@RyanRex 4 года назад
@@bloodyax8070 While I can understand your frustration, perhaps a better question is why these people are back on the streets after an overdose instead of receiving the help they clearly need to get their life together? The under-funding of support programs, counseling, and medical consultation is the reason these people can't get better. Letting them just die is not the solution I would hope for from an enlightened society, a God fearing community, or a moral perspective.
