Police Bodycam Shows Sheriff Hunting for 'Obscene' Books at Library

Cochran tells him about another library, where there is a "big glass room to put all those noisy teenagers in" that has a bookshelf in front of it with books she doesn't like: "So what do you call that, sheriff? Enticing?" "Promoting," he responds. "It's like the old fashioned guy in the van with a bowl of candy trying to entice. I have goosebumps even saying it, it's so disgusting."

Aren't there like actual crimes to catch or solve? Holy smokes what a jerk.
- I wonder if anyone has a list of unsolved crimes in the area. Would be great debate and journalist material.
That man's projecting hard.
Cop: mmmmm yeah I'm gonna find some really filthy books.... Mmmmmmmm then they'll know why I... They shouldn't be allowed to be around children.
- I’m gonna take these books back to the station….. for um…. Evidence
  
  You think this dummy can read?
and just like that - the network kicks into high gear, teams do the research, get addresses, plan the route, post lookouts, etc. within 24 hours, a van with competent operatives rolls out, armed with a high powered rifle and scope. they are set up within a reliable range of the sheriff's whereabouts as the story goes viral. by the time it's yesterday's news on reddit, the next headline is hitting social media:
"sheriff in northern idaho from viral video is found dead, authorities are baffled."
that's how you make them think twice.
- In reality it's many times more likely that the library and every other library in the area will be victims of credible threats if not outright violence from the fascist domestic terrorist vigilantes.
  
  sad but true.
