Because it continues to happen regularly. Too many times they lack suspects or leads. They lack community trust.

They are, however spending too much time luring homeless people to the city.

As we can already tell, the orange shirt campaign is really working this week to curb crime and gun violence. So glad they came up with that idea!

This has become such a regular occurrence that we have started avoiding going shopping in Columbia. Instead driving to Moberly. There seems to be more daytime incidents than ever before. The criminals seem emboldened by the lack of police presence.

We need more police and fewer guns and more politicians who don't fear the NRA.

We already have too many democrats that are trying to crush the second amendment along with the rest of the Bill Of Rights, and the entire Constitution.

The Sheriff is an elected official. Elected officials give their opinions all the time and quite often not very nicely. KESQ'S reporting appeared biased against the Sheriff, is that ethical?

3017 votes. 17 Liberal smack talkers. 18% of the vote. Go put your head back in the sand and leave the thinking to the other 82% of us with a freaking brain.

Any person should be able to voice thier endorsement in uniform. Plenty of government officials endorse publicly and are not put under the microscope because they aren't wearing a uniform? They are still a public official period. Let's not forget freedom of speech people.

Of course its OK, but a proven Felon, along with other crimes, bankruptcies (countless). If he can't run his own house, how the hell can he run the country!!!! Jusf poor judgement on Bianco. If Bianco is tired.....just QUIT!!!!

Military service members are prohibited from endorsing a candidate or position while on active duty; why should it be different for law enforcement?

Bianco gave the appearance (as was likely the intent) that this is somehow official. This act warrants a recall. How can ANY law enforcement officer, let alone the TOP law officer, countenance electing a FELON?? Saying the felon's the only one who can get a handle on crime is LUDICROUS.

Exactly, if Bianco is "tired" ( his word).....then QUIT!!!!

A lawman celebrating lawlessness is surreal. He's also forgetting that Trump committed real crimes that are not as make-believe as his unhinged rant with very flawed logic. That this is even a news story, this man should NOT have ANY authority over ANYONE.

Chad seems to be on a power trip,instead of protecting and serving the people who elected him. His endorsement is a slap in the face to his fellow men in blue who were at the capital on J6 putting their lives at risk because of the man he is endorsing.

Supporting Trump after two impeachments, his involvement with keeping top secret documents, his three trials in which three separate Jurors found Trump guilty: 1) Guilty of Sexual Abuse 2) Guilty of harassing his victim3) 34 counts in NYC. Sheriff Bianco has lost respect by many citizens. So Sad.

Sherriff Bianco, a MAGA Reich member? I didn't see that coming, did anyone?

Bianco endorses a man found guilty by 12 jurors of 34 felony counts in NY after seeing all the evidence. He refused to enforce mask orders of the governor during COVID. Rather than enforcing & allowing courts to decide, he endangered deputies, staff & the public. He appears a tyrant not a servant.

Our chief law enforcement officer for the County of Riverside, (selective enforcement at best). has endorsed a convicted felon for POTUS not only while in uniform, but using a taxpayer provided vehicle as a backdrop. CHAD BIANCO is a sick joke! Our military are not allowed to campaign in uniform!
