I love these bullshit mission statements. They come in handy when you find the top dog screwing someone over and revealing who he really is.
Northern Idaho is a mecca for retired LA cops and sheriffs. Here is a good example of how some of them can despoil a beautiful part of the country after their stints in LA. An interesting add-on to the hateful white supremacists who also like that part of the Pacific Northwest.
Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris made news recently when he assisted thugs working for “Lear Asset International” in dragging a woman exercising her First Amendment rights out of a Republican town hall meeting.

Norris is a retired LA County sheriff deputy who has received $180,000-plus in disability payments, some for shoulder injuries sustained while working in LA.
Your shoulders seem to be in pretty goddamn good working order there, Bob, as you help manhandle this woman out of her seat.
Not content to settle for a desk job that complies with disability payment parameters, he had private security thugs from Lear Asset Management there to join in the fun.

Offering real tools for high-risk security solutions, like the above videotaped situation, Lear Asset notes that “[i]n security, weapons are not the real threat; they change. It’s the mindset of the threat that we help identify and mitigate.”
Mindset. The mindset of the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Department is pretty obvious.
Lear’s provision of Mind Police/thugs for these dangerous town hall situations has been curtailed since this incident, as the beautiful city of Coeur d’Alene has revoked its business license.
You made the national news, Bob! Hopefully he has a subscription and can read the comments to this article in The Washington Post.
Most sheriffs are politicians, not cops. The guy will probably still be reelected and still receive his disability on top of his pension and his Idaho salary. Keep making Idaho great again, Bob. The bar is pretty low where you now live.
