    This dude has a bad track record. One of the biggest failures is the number of death’s in the jail system. https://abc7.com/post/riverside-county-sheriff-chad-bianco-jail-deaths-civil-rights-lawsuits/13007309/

    Back in 2020 he put out a video, announcing that he was defying the state health ordinance regarding COVID-19. Oh and he was at some point a member of Oath Keepers. He said back in 2024, “It’s time we put a felon in the White House.”

    I don’t understand why people in my county (Riverside) keep electing him. We have the lowest clearance rate of the entire state at 9.2%.

      I think the reason he keeps getting elected is because a lot of older people in the Inland Empire overall are pretty conservative, which wouldn’t be a problem necessarily but then you have the overall more conservative and bougie assholes out towards Coachella Valley which tips the scales conservative on a county level. Unlike say San Bernardino where the desert has a population of approximately fuck all still and the more conservative elements are slowly losing ground by the fact we don’t really have a large wealthy urban center, like sure East Highland and Redlands have rich assholes but they are handily countered by fucken Colton and Yucaipa.
