COLORADO SHERIFF SAYS DEMS ARE USING SALARY THREATS TO PRESSURE SHERIFFS TO SUPPORT GUN CONTROL BILLS

One Colorado sheriff is claiming that Democrats are pressuring pro-gun sheriffs in the state with tactics he think border on extortion.

In a radio interview with KVOR on Saturday, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said he received an email last week with a threat to stop or stall pay raises to the state’s elected sheriffs if they don’t support Colorado’s pending gun control legislation.

The email, sent from the offices of the County Sheriffs of Colorado, “basically said, Dem. leadership is very upset with the sheriffs and their opposition to the gun control bills,” Maketa said.

He claimed it said the Democrats were threatening to delay legislation that would give the sheriffs a long-delayed pay raise if they continue to speak out against the new push for more gun control laws.

Seems to me that Democrats in office there are the terrorists for threatening the Sheriff and his Deputies. They need to be arrested and tried as such.

well get this, Delaware is getting rid of their sheriff's and whats funny is that the law writing to give sheriff's the ability to be cops, also comes apply to the state police...

Meaning, the DE state police derive their powers from the sheriff's and if what DE is saying, the Sheriff's don't have power, then neither does the state police...

That must have been written by a Biden family member. Idiots.

That's how government does business, they do the same thing with the EPA and OSHA (MOSHA). Hey, we don't know what we're looking at, but we can fine you $20,000. But wait, for a limited time, you can pay us $10,000 and we'll go away. Leeches.
