https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/10/15/mark-lamb-arizona-constitutional-sheriff-elections-republicans-514781he Calls Himself the American Sheriff. Whose Law Is He Following?
Lamb insists he has never said Biden did not win the election. But on Nov. 12, he appeared on One American News Network and said the enthusiasm he saw for Trump in Arizona does not compute with the election results. And he still believes there was, as he put it to me, a significant amount of concerning information about the integrity of the election. (There is not, according to multiple courts; an audit in Arizona also reaffirmed Bidens victory there.) He also argues the mob that overtook the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was more heavily policed than the Black Lives Matter movement. (In the two weeks after a police officer killed George Floyd in Minneapolis last year, some 10,000 protesters were arrested around the country, compared with about 600 Jan. 6 rioters so far.) I dont think that Black Lives Matter is productive for the Blacks, Lamb also told me.
When I asked Lamb whether the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6 was an example of people violating the very rule of law he professes to cherish, he replied, Just because somebody was there doesnt necessarily mean theyre guilty, then added, I guarantee you [the rioters] are very loving, Christian people. They just happen to support President Trump a lot. When I asked about the roughly 140 law enforcement officers who had been injured or killed while on duty at the Capitol doing a job Lamb also professes to cherish he demurred, saying he hadnt been there and couldnt say what was or wasnt true.
It was the month after the insurrection, with Joe Biden in the White House and Democrats in the majority in Congress, that Lamb announced the launch of Protect America Now, his new coalition of currently serving sheriffs Lamb calls them patriots with a stated mission of educating Americans about how our Sheriffs and the law enforcement community are standing for our Constitution and law and order. Its mostly a messaging operation: The group runs ads and has written letters to the Biden administration. Protect America Nows 69 member sheriffs, who come from states including California, New Mexico, Virginia and South Dakota, also appear on right-leaning media to advocate for smaller government in all areas except immigration. The groups website lists seven additional sheriffs at least five of whom have been accused of some form of misconduct as advisory committee members. Lamb, too, is on the advisory committee, but hes also the groups most prominent public representative.

Lamb often invokes the importance of the rule of law but says of the Jan. 6 rioters, I guarantee you those people are very loving, Christian people. They just happen to support President Trump a lot. | Doug Barrett for POLITICO

(955 posts)1. I think it's not an accident that the most famous sheriff in history
is the Sheriff of Nottingham. Seems to be closer to the norm than the exception.

(90 posts)2. A contradiction in terms
I guarantee you [the rioters] are very loving, Christian people. They just happen to support President Trump a lot. IMHO, "loving" and "christian" are contradictions in terms. There are, I am sure, very few truly loving and christian people.
