Reply #39: And under federal investigation for doing this shit. Seems the Legis wants to protect him

It's the Sheriff Joe Protection and Enabling Act ;)

Considering that he not only has his officers do a lot of profiling, he has also gone after business people and community leaders who have been critical of him and his racist officers. Have read that businesses complain of slow response time and increased crime. When they get vocal against Sheriff Joe, they start getting harassed too. That is one of the reasons the Feds are there investigating, isn't it Kali? Some of the less powerless got tired of his crap.

My guess is lots of the fools in the state legislature have been bullied by Sheriff Joe and what he knows about them, so they kiss his ass. And, with winger fringe making noise so out of proportion to their actual numbers, the lawmakers are afraid of them too.
