As for this...
Seems to me the Sherrif-elect needs a little education...Not that they may not have experience, but to dictate a policy like that which will increase the chance of criminal activity, knowing that criminals look for opportunities like this to exploit...Seems to me like a letter is in order...But, with no post office...I think a respectful face to face meeting would be in order...To get on topic, the brand new Galveston County Sheriff-elect issued this statement just two days ago: "The Sheriff's Office does not advocate the use of deadly force with looters. Deadly force is only authorized to protect an officer or other from what is reasonably believed to be a threat of death or serious bodily injury."
But that's just me...
