Jonathan Thompson, Executive Director and CEO of the National Sheriffs’ Association, said NBC This decision was “an inappropriate behavior of a partner organization”, adding: “We are all on the same boat. And you just don’t treat friends or partners like this. ”

The Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County, Florida, said MSNBC“We are a strength multiplier to help ice, and we have spent a lot of time and effort.

Judd has reached an idiom to transmit betrayal: “I mean, it’s biting my hand that feeds you.” Other Florida sheriffs have also been figurative: “Frankly, it’s like leaving the fox in the chicken coop”, the sheriff of the county of Brevard said WFTV Channel 9. “We don’t want to burn bridges, but someone turned the fire to the other end,” observed the sheriff of Bradford county.
