Sheriff Mark Lamb

That's what honor is.

You stand up for what is right, no matter what the consequences are, no matter how hard it is, you do what is right.

And people say to me, well, Sheriff, you say that because you're a sheriff and you're elected every four years.

And I always tell people, that's true.

But police chiefs can say what they want to.

They may lose their job.

But you can say what you want.

Nobody's going to stop you from saying it.

Your job is to protect the people.

Your job is to protect their constitutional rights.

And your job is to stand up for what is right, regardless of the consequences.

And right, go get a new job.

That's the thing.

And I always tell these chiefs and tell you guys, it wasn't the police officers in this country that didn't hold the line.

It was the leadership in this country or the supervisors in this country who kowtowed to the mob.

And then it changed our profession in a way.

And you just frankly can't throw a blanket of reform on the entire country.

It just doesn't work that way.

I mean, you asked me to do a hard job.

I'm out there doing it.
