Not the kind of laws he wants to be enforcing, I'm sure. I hope.

This story follows a Contra Costa county sheriff as he goes about his day evicting people. I can't imagine that's why he got into law enforcement. I can't imagine he feels great when he goes home every night. I know cops probably feel some empathy towards a lot of the people they collar in an average day - usually they've done something to deserve it. But the people being evicted . . . many people made bad real estate choices over the past few years. Many were led into it. Many shouldn't have lived so far beyond their means - but isn't that what we do. We're Americans, dammit.

Sad stuff.
