In dealing with Mark Casterline – a man who allegedly got drunk on his own property — the MCSO staged a SWAT raid; in dealing with Matt Hawley – who was behaving as an obstreperous, drunken stalker who had chased a woman from her property – the deputies offered taxi service, and the sheriff became party to a cover-up. That’s how they roll in Malheur County. But then again, that’s how “they” roll anywhere the political class has a police force at its disposal.

He's not giving the Malheur Mafia an inch.
