This has not one thing to do with a sheriff's wages. It has much more to do with the war on drugs (actually the war against US citizens) and what that has done to separate our country's law enforcement from we the people.
It has everything to do with what wages the deputies make, and what sort of administrator the sheriff is. If it doesn't make any difference, then keep what ya got, and see how things work...

Me too. However no community is safe as witnessed in the OP. I'm sure rural Idaho thought they were immune but the cancer spreads.
I don't think so as far as being immune to corruption. I've lived in rural Idaho my entire life and have seen situations where the clock gets turned back 50-100 years on how things are handled by county law enforcement in the smaller population counties. Citizens turn their heads simply because they have grown up in a culture where its best to not get to involved. Boss Hog is alive and well in some areas...

I'd agree that better wages allow you to attract better employees, in general, but it is far from a direct correlation. Hell, the LAPD has more than a few that make well over six figures and they still shoot up old ladies trying to deliver the mail.

Total and complete unadulterated BULLCHIT. The biggest and most well paid departments have the exact same problem as small and "underpaid" departments. It has not one thing to do with wages and everything to do with modern police culture and attitudes. Trying to blame low wages or 3 year old cruisers is not only wrong and ignorant but not unexpected.

Just think...you could have made a difference if you had made it.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Better paid departments that can be competitive with hiring higher educated deputies, with better work records are the same as departments that have to take who they can with a minimum wage. Got it. Since nothing will change, why even bother electing a sheriff, or using that form of checks and balances afforded to you by the constitution?

Don't put words in my mouth. I just call bullshlt on your statement. There are WELL paid cops that do bad things just as there are lessor paid cops that are good. High wages don't equal good cops. It doesn't hurt your recruiting effort but the wages those guys made per COL were fair enough.

It wasn't until I "made it" that I was allowed into the fold. That's when I realized that I didn't approve of the type of person a lot of cops were. My sergeant had 20 years and told me the same thing. The firefighter career treated me well and I have no regrets at all. I suppose I could aspire to be a burnt out jaded cop with over 40,000 posts on an Internet forum whose best days are in the rear view mirror, but I'll pass.

Same old chit here on the fire. "We ain't paid enough", yada, yada, yada. They will never admit that these two are pieces of chit that killed a man for nothing.

A monetary settlement is a long way from a conviction.
