• County sheriffs wield lethal power

    County sheriffs wield lethal power, face little accountability: "A
    failure of democracy"

    County sheriff's officers are three times more lethal than city
    police, a CBS News investigation has found.

    More people were killed by U.S. law enforcement in 2023 than any other
    year in the past decade, outpacing population growth eightfold. But
    despite a focus on urban areas, fatal police violence is increasingly
    happening in small town America at the hands of sheriffs, the top law enforcement officials in counties nationwide.

    The revelation is part of the findings of a yearlong reporting effort
    that documented chronic misconduct in sheriff's offices and oversight
    failures that can enable abuses to go unchecked. The consequences can
    be fatal. But the majority of those cases go unreported, in violation
    of state and federal laws, making patterns of abuse harder to detect
    and stop.

    These
    people virtually have no lives at all. That is why they are the way
    they are. You have tons of people who leave these small towns for
    big-cities ( and get jobs faster ) because they do not want any
    loyalty to the city. Back in these small towns the best you could be
    is probably

    Policing, State trooper, Deputy, Officer
    Medical worker / Nurse / ( where supplies might run low )
    Office worker ( if any )
    Sex-worker / Porn-star
    Stripper / Dancer /
    Drug-dealer
    Farmer / Farm-hand / Horse-Rangler
    Environmental observer / Water-checker / Species-protectors ( educated
    usually ).

    Everything else from these areas are suggestive. You see big parties
    and events, those are usually people getting other people far and wide
    to venture to that area.

    There is literally no civilization if any would be a retiree or
    somebody who has enough income sources to move into such place. Like
    the nutjobs who moved to Georgia and brought their lame-kids who
    slowly becomes targets of the law.

    I mean data-mining ( like when you connect a raid of GPU to form one
    big GPU v. the electrical bill ).

    I believe the issue is with County sheriffs around larger cities, not
    small towns.

    I'm not aware of rural County sheriffs having this issue.
