If we win the election, then the Sarasota Sheriff's Office is Constitutionally ours to do with as we please. Knight had his turn during his immoral reign of terror, which will end (by statutory force) on January 4 of 2021. "Institutional creep" happens when those in elected office:

• Start to believe that they are better at the elected job than anyone else ever could be and they
• Start to believe that only they can do the job.

His wife is the victims advocate here and he’s a tool. Sgt. Sheckindoof’s buddy.

You mean Seckdorf supports Hoffman? No way! I refuse to believe that a guy like him would support a Jody like Kurt. Kurt being A man who lacks the simple moral turpitude not to steal from citizen while they entrusted him to protect them. Really Devil Dog? You are going to support this Shower Shoe, Pocket Using Turd be your leader? Sad day if true. SF!

Term limits are good for that reason alone.

Please elaborate on term limits?? I am unaware of this for a elected Florida SHERIFF. I have seen Florida Sheriffs in terms for many years. I know our President has Term limits but never knew of it on a State and County level??

Some city, county, state and federal offices have term limits -- and some don't have term limits. For example, about 10 years ago, voters of Sarasota County imposed term limits on county commissioners (by referendum). The same may be legally done for the office of sheriff, but no one has proposed it to the voters. There are pros and cons to terms limits (probably more pros than cons). No incumbent wants to see the imposition of term limits because term limits force incumbents out of office, which allows new candidates (and fresh ideas) to come into. President George Washington believed in term limits, which is why the presidency has a term limit. Should term limits be imposed on sheriffs, just like we imposed term limits on Sarasota County commissioners?

That is because the Florida Sheriff’s Association is Florida’s largest lobby hiding behind a youth ranch. Money donated goes more toward the lobby than the ranch.

By the numbers...

1. The "elected" office of sheriff is good because he cannot be bullied by county commissioners (look at how mayors and city commissioners have tied the hands of many "appointed" police chiefs). Conversely, some elected sheriffs will egregiously pander just to get votes, such as when Knight joined Sarasota's BLM/Antifa protesters (click here for a reminder of Knight's pandering to BLM/Antifa).
   .
2. Term limits are good for sheriffs because it prevents "institutional creep" (click here for a reminder of what institutional creep is).
   .
3. It's important to remember that a sword has two edges and cuts both ways. Whoever has the sword must know how to hold it firmly and wield it fairly and without prejudice or vindictive politics (paybacks) (click here for the political paybacks that are already expected from Kurt Hoffman, before the sheriffs election has even been consummated).

Don't worry there will term limits! Fern will be limited to 0 terms and Hoffman will be limited to terms of his probation. Then we can get a Sheriff appointed because although Hoffman will get elected neither on of these dumba**es are good for the agency.

Hoffman has a past that would score prison if it was on a scoresheet and Fern never should have tried to run. His heart wasn't in it, he got talked into this by some of the disgruntled walk aways and he just isn't a admin guy, go play with your puppies this politics thing aint for you fella.

Now before all your trolls start hammering me about how Paul is this and Paul is that, as yourself this, if he REALLY thought the agency needed him, if he REALLY thought Kurt was bad for us, why didn't he do a damn thing to try and get elected?? It wasn't real boys and girls. His EGO wouldn't let himself step aside.

Yoda says...

• Paul Fern I trust, this I do.
• Kurt Hoffman is not to be trusted, no he is not.

In reality, Kurt Hoffman has a documented record of stealing, lying and general deception. Paul Fern has no disciplinary issues (none whatsoever) and he has a documented work ethic that involves 100% honesty and integrity. Public office needs to be held to the highest standards. The senior SSO administration already has a history of perjury (under oath) and general lying (John Walsh, Dan Tutko, Mike Mercurio and several other notable figurines). No insults to anyone are intended. These are documented issues on paper. Too often "institutional creep" sets in where a small click of people believe that they alone can steer the battleship, but they are deceived. God can easily use other people.
