Sheriffs must enforce all laws

We have two of the biggest clowns as county sheriffs. Dart of Cook County and Curran of Lake County obviously didn’t read the oath of office before they took it.

I don’t believe anywhere in the oath does it say that I will enforce the laws I think should be enforced and those I don’t like I won’t enforce. Both sheriffs have refused to enforce our immigration laws. Now let’s think about this.

What if we decide that we don’t like certain laws and choose not to abide by them. If all men are created equal under the law, then why can’t we pick and choose the laws we want to adhere to?

Gentlemen, If you do not want to protect and serve the citizens of these two counties that you said you would when you took the oath of office, then leave the office for someone who does. Maybe you should become crossing guards and hope the person driving toward you doesn’t decide to ignore the stop sign you’re holding up like the laws you ignore to enforce.
