Our All-Star Panel of Top Local Journalists serves up a full helping of well-informed analysis and reported commentary about Santa Barbara's biggest news stories.
So let me see. Your criticism of the Sheriff Brown is based on what experience you have as a law enforcement officer, let alone, an elected Sheriff? I haven't heard or seen Sheriff Brown trying to tell you how to run a newspaper or news broadcast. He is following the law. You may not like it, but he is doing what the law requires.
So repeatedly attacking a young female reporter for uncovering facts about your operations is right there in the Big Bad Lawman's Handbook of Policies and Procedures, is it?
Are you kidding? Do you have to cover for one of your employees because she is a Female? I would think he or she has to accept disagreement is part of the job. You may have the "ink" to get your point across, but disagreement goes with the territory.
He was too cowardly to talk to her before her story despite her repeated and detailed requests but then stands up and takes cheap shots at her - are you kidding?
You're not doing her any favors. She, like you and me learned by experience without "mother" looking over us. I don't know the young lady, but I wish her well. She should learn from experience without "daddy" standing over her.
Well I'm way over all the years of vicious "enemies of the people" "fake news" attacks aimed at intimidating journalists from Tump and MAGA and I'm gonna push back on it when it shows up in my community.
Sorry, attacking journalists are refusing to be interviewed is not part of his job...He takes an oath to the Constitution which, last time I checked, still includes the First Amendment...

PS, is that reporting the news or making the news?
Give Sheriff Brown a break. He is just doing his job and following the law, as he should.
