At a shooting Paramedics always wait for the cops to show up first and declare the scene safe.

Asking the important questions. My law school is dealing with the same issue.

There’s a difference between the government alleging something and you admitting it.

but I'm not buying the cops' explanation for making them stay 48 hours in jail.

Cops don’t get to decide how long you stay in jail, a judge does.

Two questions: why should anyone take you serious given your affiliation with the left wing and highly partisan “Marshall Project?” Seems really convenient that your findings parallel your personal beliefs.

Second: In many states the sheriff is the highest elected law enforcement official in the county and is not subject to the authority of the state’s governor. (Compare Arizona with Florida) Also, the division of labor in the constitution (and numerous Supreme Court cases) means law enforcement is a power reserved to the states and the president has no direct control over local law enforcement. Doesn’t that refute your belief that these sheriffs are holding “right wing beliefs” when they’re literally stating a legal fact.
