No, that's not how it works. The Sheriff has way more power than you think. He can also deputize millions of citizens and set up militia. A lot to learn about here.

Uh, this is the United States of America, guy. The sheriff does shit like that and the feds come in. The feds come in, he and anyone he formed a militia with are arrested or killed if they fight back.
A sheriff is a glorified cop from a bygone age.

Dont need to be, from what i can tell. When you think abot it, there are many many ways the deep state can fuck you over without ever using the local or county police

See part of me wonders if this is some kind of sick ploy to use the sherriff's response as a reason to federalize local police. All of a sudden even a speeding ticket will require a federal appeal. I know for example in Denver, an unpaid parking ticket will give you a deny on a gun purchase application, so i would not be surprised if something similar is afoot here

Nice, but the mustache reminds me of John Bolton
