Sheriff is disrespectful

The use of "limp, lame and lazy" refers to injured officers? Why? I am sure that this sets great morale for the working officers and offends those who are injured. I know I am offended! Sheriff, really? You're that unprofessional?

Your salary is paid for by us, the taxpayers. As an elected official, show some respect. I feel such disdain for one who is so negative toward humanity. You should provide support and help to injured employees while struggling during this stressful time.

The Americans With Disabilities Act states if an injured or ill employee is unable to conduct their current position you are required to provide a position making reasonable compensation for this person to return to work.

The gentleman's lawsuit states that, as sheriff, you are the one blocking his return to a reasonable job assignment that meets his abilities. So voters re-elect this man if you find him a respectable member of our community.
