For God sakes!! why do people continue to cave in to these people who think they are special?? Send the freak into a private dressing room. Problem solved. so sick of this make believe. you were born a man! Guess what. Playing dress up wont change that!!
You are a very sad and judgmental human being. I will pray for you.
Zoerner needs to go!
And replace with whom? His opponent was a woke Democrat from Lake County.
Very sad that this is or was allowed to happen.
A persons personal life of transitioning is just that, their personal life. Keep it at home. Back in the day it was just cross dressing. Out at the bars wearing a dress and wig.
If you are not completely one or the other, and that includes all the functioning equipment in place, then you are still one or the other.
You don’t get to jump the line of access until you fit the description on the door.
Male or Female.
Pick one. Only one. No middle ground here.
Very disappointed in the Sheriff here. He obviously knows what’s going on. And approved it.
Then again if he doesn’t know what’s going on then that’s a discussion for another election cycle.
Don’t they screen law enforcement for mental illness? With the great deal of responsibility and power that these individuals are entrusted with, people with this level of mental illness should be screened out.
These people are mentally unstable and have no place in a common sense sheriff’s department! I wouldn’t trust someone who doesn’t know they’re a dude to bag my groceries much less enforce the law.
This is disgusting and needs to stop. People say the Sheriff should go but how about he fixes the problem instead?
Because the problems run deeper than the sheriff. Employment issues are rampant within Kenosha county government. HR is woke, so feelings are the only thing that matter, and reality takes a backseat.
Why am I not even surprised….. hell nothing that comes from the sheriff office surprises me anymore. But yet entertaining as hell!!
Is it Andy Berg?
If I saw a male in the female’s bathroom I would call the cops
Step up sheriff. Way to many elected sitting with a clipboard on the sidelines.
Really Sheriff. Maybe when you are putting on your big boy pants, a female that is transitioning to a man walks in and sees your big hairy ass and your tiny balls. Maybe that person makes a suggestive comment to you, (I don’t know why). How the hell do you think this is right? Woke or not. I see a lawsuit coming and rightfully so.
It ain’t just the Sheriff’s office problem. Its what we the people have allowed to happen in our societies. Law suits are costly too and nobody wants to deal with it. A slow slow degradation of morals over many years has gotten us where we are. The TV is jumk now along with many of the commercials paying to advertise. Just look at the brokenness that Kevin finds in society and our Kenosha courts. And we are just one town or city.
Hi! I’m Sheriff David Zoerner, and my goal is to make the last Sheriff look good. ;p
Whistle blowers would be fired !!!
Great way to run your dept , that is so wrong in so many ways !!! Someone would lose there job for speaking out the truth and exposing those who are dishonest and are causing harm or issues with in the work place , Zoener you need to step down and let someone more willing to protect and serve are community !!!
What a sh*t show
I’m embarrassed for the sheriff
