Sheriff saga has gone too far

As usual, Mr. Wackerman didn't follow the old 'engage brain before writing/speaking' theory. While I agree with him about the Sheriff sage has gone too far, there is something called the Law, which has to be followed to the letter in this case. The Sheriff has the right to due process, just like everyone else, including Mr. Wackerman. There are also State and Federal Labor Code laws to follow, including the prescribed legal procedures to legally remove the Sheriff from her position. And, as for the individual Deputy Sheriffs who are suing the Sheriff, they also have a right to sue her in a court of law. It has nothing to do with "grow a pair you babies". It's called the proper way to seek a legal remedy and recourse if an employee suffered legal damage caused by his/her employer. Class dismissed.

Bob - a great LTE, particularly coming from you. What would be helpful at this stage is getting a full listing of the attorneys who have wormed themselves into this saga. I saw that one of our former City Council members has also joined this team of fleecing the San Mateo taxpayers. "To think these so-called law officers who took an oath to defend and protect are whining about how damaged they are emotionally because they’re feeling hurt and intimidated by Christie’s actions against them is ludicrous. Grow a pair you babies." We need eradication of the entire incompetent top in this County, all of them products of DEI, and belly laughing behind our backs. How dumb can we be? How proud were some when we elected the first Latina Sheriff, not because of qualifications, because of her ethnicity. We are paying dearly for falling into that trap. She is an insult to the entire Latina community.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Wackerman. If you put yourself in Sheriff Corpus’s (gifted) high-heeled boots, what options can you see? Sheriff Corpus is backed up against the corner and doesn’t have much to lose. I say she’s still positioning herself for a decent payout – or just staying in office until her term ends (looking more likely than not). As you imply, Sheriff Corpus’s law enforcement career is likely over when this saga mercifully ends. Perhaps Ms. Corpus can become a consultant, advising folks on tactics in how not to be pushed out of office and extending issues as long as possible. She’s doing a pretty good job so far. IMO, based on LTE’s and comments, many seem to agree. People get the government they voted for, whether for San Mateo Sheriff or San Mateo councilmembers.

Congrats Rob. I can't remember any of us obtaining dual occupancy in both local papers LTE on the same day + your content was excellent, as usual.

Props to our Hayward Park consciousness.
