That Chief Deputy was brought into the office at some point and told, in no uncertain terms .... Show Up-Shut Up and collect your check. Handle the minor stuff, if you feel the need. But all major decisions will be made by the two of us and we do not need your input.
At that time, he gave a slight head nod and walked out of the office to “Show Up and Shut Up” and collect his check.
But it still boggles me that “voters” can be swayed by campaign ads, etc, funded by the likes of Soros and others, and not make their own decisions. Maybe that many folks have moved into the county to swing the vote the other way or tons of voter fraud, considering Sheriff Joe either ran unopposed or crushed his previous opponents if I’m not mistaken.
I’m curious to know if the crime rate has changed or increased due to the new guy as opposed to Sheriff Joe.
Ben left after one year. He could no longer stomach the liberal BS of Penzone and Cherny.
Cherny got fired by the County Attorney after it came out that she was on the board of La Raza.
I vetted both Penzone and Ben. None of the Phx PD guys I talked to had anything good to say about Penzone. They all spoke very highly of Ben.
My personal experience with Ben was such that the support of his former officers was well earned.
