Washtenaw voters have elected a county sheriff with zero experience fighting crime and a career as a left-wing fanatic.
The results were predictable.
From The Midwesterner:
Washtenaw County’s pansexual sheriff plans to combat violent crime with a new Environmental Crimes Unit that will focus on “air pollution, water contamination, and hazardous waste management.”
Sheriff Alyshia Dyer, a former road deputy turned social worker, told the Daily Wire in an interview she plans to prioritize protecting her community “from the negative environmental and human health impacts of pollution and climate change” as well as officer wellbeing during her first term, and she expects those efforts will have a cascading impact on crime.
“It’s all connected,” Dyer told the news site. “Looking at, number one, I talked a lot about officer mental health and wellness. Officers can’t effectively do their jobs if they’re not taking care of themselves. Looking at the environment, looking at corporate polluters, looking at the quality of life for residents, it has a really big impact on wellbeing.”

The Daily Wire notes that the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office reports over 1,000 assault offenses, over 900 larceny/theft offenses, and more than 100 sex offenses per year.
Surely Sheriff Dyer’s commitment to spend taxpayer dollars “fighting climate change” instead of paying police officers will boost officer morale and therefore reduce crime.
This is the sad but predictable result of voters electing a Democrat, a party now full of extremists and hostile to serious problem-solvers.
