One of the things that pisses me off so much about Sheriff Joe’s fans is that despite—or maybe even because of—his brutal “tough-on-crime” approach to law enforcement he actually had a terrible track record when it came to reducing crime rates.
So the people who kept voting for him didn’t really support policies punishing criminals and immigrants because that was the best way to keep people safe. They just liked the idea of cruelty for cruelty’s sake.
