That Facebook post is the least disgusting thing that’s recently surfaced about Sheriff Zuchowski.
He was just hit with a Federal lawsuit for fabricating drug charges, lying to a grand jury, getting two men locked up for 6 months…in addition to just being uncovered he’s been using inmates to work his campaign, which from my perspective, is pretty damn close to slave labor.
Now imagine. Being arrested on false charges by this POS because you’re a liberal and being forced to work to get him re-elected.
There should be absolutely zero tolerance for this type of criminal abuse of power. It is wildly inappropriate for an officer of law to be engaging in any sort of voter intimidation, let alone making these types of specific threats. You also absolutely disqualify yourself from being able to assert that you are going to protect and serve every person in your jurisdiction when you refer to a subset of them as locusts.
We are going to need to find a way to extend the Hatch Act beyond Federal employees if states prove incapable of preventing and prosecuting these types of issues of their own accord. Citizens very obviously have a Constitutional right not to be abused in this way by law enforcement under the protections afforded by the 4th Amendment.

That’s because he’s supposed to be a neutral, bipartisan, public servant, whose job is to uphold the law and serve the community.Â
Instead, he feels a perk of his job is getting to use the power he was given by his constituents to persecute anyone who he doesn’t agree with politically.Â
This seems par for the course for conservatives, but is especially egregious coming from one of these supposedly important champions of rural communities that sherrifs are made out to be. If they want their communities to be welcoming for everyone and not just insular hate groups, actively targeting people like this isn’t really a great way to do that. If they were going for insular hate groups, they’re spot on though.Â
This is why I don’t advertise my political affiliation, it’s too risky because the right are the ones who in 9 cases out of 10 are instigating and escalating to violence over these things. Just for existing and not conforming I could not only become a target, but I’d be literally painting one on my house for them.

Violent Trump supporters are everywhere. I don’t feel like I could put a Harris sign outside my house without it being a risk. I’m sick of bullies.

If Harris wins, we need a massive reprogramming for law enforcement. The only difference between this guy and the cop that killed George Floyd is opportunity. Get the bigots out of the police!

Electing law enforcement doesn’t seem awesome. Am I missing something?

Election interference is a crime and you should just ignore this asshole and vote when the time comes.

The sheriff’s intent was to intimidate and make you feel unsafe

Why are so many MAGA people, like this sheriff, illiterate?

It’s done all of the time but politics and police work don’t mix well. Do your job and stay out of it.
