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!!!!

Especially if candidate is a convicted Felon, 34 times,regardless of who he is.

Patricia S

Especially one who has been convicted of 34 felonies!!!!

David Lambert

I penned letters of recommendation and laundered drug money for PSPD. They can't be trusted.

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

Erica Greathouse

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.

Patricia S

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

Jeremy Brown

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.

MaryRose Wallace

He has his right to his opinion however he should not use his position to influence others.

Mark Cosenza

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.

Michael

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.

Michael

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

robert rawley

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.

Bill Cranham

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!

Alan Dusty Bowley

The uniform is to protect and serve, NOT try to use it To influence people

Ron Dorsheimer

Makes you wonder if he'll serve and protect people with other political views.

Patricia S

Actually, he did not, during Covid!!!!!

Melissa Howiler

Melissa Howiler

Recess lunch ok

Kimmy Wasatch

Banned, of course , kids need to learn how to TALK to each other and not be on a phone but pay attention but learn in class,

Latterdaysaint

Yes, it's a distraction!

Jeff Sanders

Distraction

Steven Huillet

Cellphones create too many distractions. They are the main reason kids are not learning the way they should.

Michael Caba

Yes, for the most part. There are a few instances where they should be allowed such as the downloading of apps that help with, say, science classes and so forth. Otherwise, they are a huge distraction.

Sussie Due

If the family needs to contact the child in an emergency, they can call the school and the school can relay the message to the child. It worked for me in the 60's and 70's, it can work now too.

Technology is such a major part of our lives that none of us can escape it. It comes with responsibility and accountability which seems to be the hardest part of the equation. No doubt they can be a distraction but safety and convenience play a bigger part in my opinion.

Because what you see on TV is the other opponent slamming the other one and it's all false . If you want the truth go to the town hall meetings. Cause there is so much fake news out now these days .

Zaos Gonzolez

I use ad blockers and VPNs. I no longer experience any advertising.
