The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to remove Sheriff Christina Corpus from office Tuesday, nearly a year after a damning report from a retired county judge found that she likely violated the county’s policy on nepotism and conflicting relationships.
Cannot help but notice that a female Sheriff was the one to take a career ending hit for “nepotism and conflicting relationships.” Not saying she didn’t deserve it, just that you can’t swing a cat in the U.S. without finding a cop guilty of those things. Consider those fraternal order of police stickers, literally a label for your car saying “give me a pass I’m one of you.”
That’s terrible. She should have stuck to minor crimes like shooting black people.
Or just rape a kid and hope for a presidential pardon.
This is why regulations and added scrutiny of people in positions of power. It’s painfully obvious individual humans should never even receive this leave of power. We abuse it every time. We have the ability to decentralize a lot of power. It made since when information and resources could only travel small distances. But now, we don’t need individuals to have this much control to get things done and to decide what’s right or wrong.
It’s always the goddamn sheriffs. Democracy without accountability is ass
