During last year's public hearings over Chief Olson, the sheriff described Olson as his good friend and spoke forcefully in favor of his reappointment. He did this while investigations into police shootings of Barbara Schnieder and Alfred Sanders were still open. I don't think the sheriff's office even pretends to be independent in these matters.
