DeSantis suspends Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren
Tampa Bay Times, 8/4/2022

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday that he was suspending Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren for not prosecuting certain crimes.

At a news conference in front of Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office deputies, DeSantis said Warren has “put himself publicly above the law” by signing letters saying he would not enforce laws prohibiting gender-affirming care for minors or laws limiting abortion.

“Our government is a government of laws, not a government of men,” DeSantis said.

...

Warren, a Democrat, has been a frequent critic of DeSantis, including calling the governor’s 2021 “anti-riot” legislation a misguided “solution in search of a problem.”

It looks like Bay-area police aren't happy with Warren, either.

1. That guy is a straight up dictator...has nothing to do with the law. He only uses the law when he

Finds that it works for him…that isn’t following the law

2. There's high-rolling Democrats who wanted Warren out, too.

He’s pissed off several. They don’t want someone who Republicans can point to and say “See! Democrats are soft on crime.” That hurts the Party.

5. Judging by what

I see on tv, most Florida sheriffs are magats. We liberal folks have to keep undercover these days.
