Quotes about Sheriffs

Magna Carta

No sheriff, royal official, or other person shall take horses or carts for transport from any free man, without his consent.

Sealed under duress and later repudiated by the King with Papal assistance. This, before Magna Carta, was a common occurrence especially by the military. In many countries, even in modern times, this restriction does not exist. The resentment developed from this practice was a major factor in the Chinese people turning in the Nationalist government in favor of the Communists after WWII. Mao Tse-Tung's soldiers always paid for what they took or used if not donated freely. Not so Chiang's military." John Lackland

Dodge City Times

Wyatt Earp, who was on our city police force last summer, is in town again. We hope he will accept a position on the force once more. He had a quiet way of taking the most desperate characters into custody which invariably gave one the impression that the city was able to enforce her mandates and preserve her dignity. It wasn't considered policy to draw a gun on Wyatt unless you got the drop and meant to burn powder without any preliminary talk.

Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson were law enforcement officers and “civilized” Dodge was a hotbed of violence, gun-fighting, drinking, gambling and prostitution. See {587200} for a flavor of the problem.

Nick Yarris

There were several appeals, but I ruined it all by escaping after three years inside. I was being transported to court and we stopped to use the rest room. There were two sheriffs and I managed to get away. I out-ran a helicopter, got on the aeroplane and went to Florida.

Shaquille O'Neal

When I retire, I'm going after his job. If I don't make sheriff, I'm going after his job. He's not that good. You can quote me on that.

Daniel Handler

You would run much slower if you were dragging something behind you, like a knapsack or a sheriff.

New York State

That sheriffs and coroners be annually appointed; and that no person shall be capable of holding either of the said offices more than four years successively

This is but another example of term limits in early America.

Nicki Minaj

I'm a star: SHERIFF BADGE.

Joe Arpaio

It takes a lot of work to do this every day, every day, but I feel, as a sheriff, I should get to know my people. I serve them. They don't serve me. I serve them. They're my bosses, and the more people I can see and talk to, I love it.
