14. It says a great deal when

your Elections board says your Sheriffs Department can't be trusted. Will the SD retaliate and have cars parked outside by parking lots and hassling people who pull up to park and vote? Will they demand ID's and searches of vehicles? Maybe have the canines present while they all wear their SWAT gear? If you think it wouldn't happen you need to dial the clock back to the Jim Crow southern states. That's when the GQP thinks America was "Great".

But it goes beyond that. Sheriff Ignoramus sent a clear signal about how anybody of color or with an accent will be treated by him and his department compared to the whites. If you have a Harris/Walz bumper sticker on your car what do you suppose are the increased chances you will be pulled over by these goons for a "traffic stop"?

They know people do know of these behaviors and that's why they do it. The intentional intimidation factor ahead of time.
