Sacramento Sheriff refuses to arrest identified burglars twice at one residence. Why?

I can help laughter_ with undestanding correct rhetoric when refering to police agencies. All acts by deputies and officers are deemed to be the acts for which the presiding officer is ressponsible, hence are organizationally his deeds...by law, precedence, and custom. In any police agency, chief or Sheriff is where the buck stops, at least in principle. The cause of dereliction in the cases mentioned appears to be ineptitude as a matter of policy and poor management and training....for which it appears that the county has agree an/or will be required to accept liability along with perpertators and others as decided in Superior Court or be settlement out of court. IN Califonia such policies, to pass of felonies short of Capital to victims and insurers appears to stem from US Court orders to reduce prison populations, something deemed politically more palatable to an electorate in that proven criminals are kept in jail while new, unconvicte offenders are given a pass. A way of playing on public fear by doing nothing to stop public fear except hold onto offenders who are in jail and not contributing to public fear. FYI a felony burglary is the breakng and engerng into a resiidence for fhe purpose of theft.

He's their uncle?

Ask them.
