Hi. In today's episode, we talk about who sheriffs are, what they do, why they face so little oversight, and propose that we maybe don't need them.

John Brown did nothing wrong

Pro-tip for attorneys and victims of excessive force: Know that Sheriff's Office v. Sheriff's Department distinction is critical. If you sue the County, the "Sheriff", and/or the Sheriff's "Department", but not the Sheriff's "Office", you will lose before you ever get to the merits of the case. The County is made up of "civilians" who probably don't have authority over law enforcement officers. The Sheriff is an individual elected official who serves "at the will of the people" and is not personally capable of being sued for their position due to misconduct of their deputies. The Sheriff's Department is essentially an admin unit of the County that only serves to manage payroll of Sheriff's Office employees (from the County budget). The Sheriff's Office, on the other hand, is responsible for the training, supervision, discipline, and actual conduct of deputies. Fun! Failing to name the Sheriff's Office will often lead to a drawn out suit where all parties are slowly dismissed one by one. The defense attorneys are not going to explain the distinction, instead wasting time until the clock runs out and it's too late to re-file the suit.

Things the US needs to eliminate: Sheriffs, Elected Judges, and the electoral college. I'd also argue state level government entirely (with current responsibilities split between local county/city government and the feds) but that's a bigger conversation
