The Highest Law in the Land: How the Unchecked Power of Sheriffs Threatens Democracy by Jessica Pishko

challenging dark informative medium-paced

4.0

A shocking exposé on how many sheriffs across the country have lurched towards a far-right ideology that is not only at odds with their core mission of public safety, but is even counter-productive to it. Some of Pishko’s reporting is downright chilling. Clearly, the office of Sheriff needs to be completely overhauled, though I am hesitant to embrace her call to abolish it entirely. Nonetheless, the marriage of sheriffs with far-right ideology is incredibly dangerous and should be opposed.
