America's Rogue Sheriffs

I support and applaud the many fine sheriffs, deputies and employees of sheriffs' departments throughout the U.S. who quietly go about doing their jobs every day of their working lives. They are to be commended and I would state unequivocally that these hard-working men and women are a solid majority of law enforcement personnel. It's the miscreants of the profession that I have attempted to call out for the defilements of their oaths of office, for their betrayal of our trust. Because there was no one state that stood apart from the others in terms of abuses on the part of its sheriffs, and for ease of reference for the reader, it was decided that the best way to present my findings was to simply go alphabetically, state-by-state.
