Tuolumne County "parts ways" with 5 deputies. Why?
Transparency is necessary to avoid distrust and speculation.
In Tuolumne, the Sheriff removed 5 deputies for "egregious" behavior.
I'm noticing a pattern. Across California, we've lost officers, healthcare workers, & firefighters who refused the experimental and liability-free "shots." This means, our enforcement officers who retained their ability to think critically are no longer with us. The "non-compliant" have been strategically thinned. To fill the gap, surveillance technology (ALPR and biometric cameras) are filling in the gaps.
If our deputies were involved in egregious acts, where are the criminal charges?
Is there another motive? We need to demand full transparency.
Here is a timeline for our current (unresolved) situation:
