Mark Essick, Rogue Sheriff

When Mark Essick ran for sheriff, I didn't vote for him because he did not agree that our policing system needs a big overhaul so that deputies stop shooting unarmed people of color (including children). There was a much better candidate running, but Essick got the backing of the elite, and he was elected.

Now, in the pandemic, Essick has gone rogue. 

"I'm not following this f-king health order," is Sheriff Mark Essick's latest comment, made in opposition to the supervisors, the district attorney and the county health commissioner.

If you are old or infirm, Essick has put your life in danger. Essick should resign or be recalled. We need a sheriff who can work with medical doctors and enforce health regulations.
