Official Harley
Jul/110
Why do so many county sheriffs dress like they are straight from the "Old West"?
I mean, it's the 21st century, yet these guys get dressed for work like they are going to a rodeo or to feed the cows. Yeah, I know, the sheriff words, Deputy bring the thoughts of a tin star and a six-shooter, but geeeeez, they take it literally? I saw a picture of our county sheriff and he was there, boots, a cowboy hat, plaid shirt, and a big belt buckle. OK, so maybe the all things western / country lifestyle, but wear it to work? What if he was a driver for Harley, he would come to work dressed in a black leather jacket, a black Harley T-shirt and a doo-rag over his ponytail? I'm sorry, but it's hard to trust a politician who looks like he just fell the truck with hay. Law enforcement today is very up to date and hi-tech and they should watch the game. Professionals should dress professionally! Even Sheriff Andy Taylor wore a police uniform in Mayberry.
This is a problem where I live. They literally a club they call Cowboys! And yeah, people do make fun of them. I do not know why. You're right, it is useful to image public if they dressed like a professional.
