The letters obtained by the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, show people’s concern over the tone of the Facebook post by Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski

At least 59 Ohio residents have complained to the state’s attorney general over posts made by an Ohio sheriff suggesting that people should keep track of homeowners who have signs supporting Democrat Kamala Harris for president.

Bruce Zuchowski, the sheriff for Portage County just southeast of Cleveland, posted the suggestion to his social media account on Sept. 13, when he talked about Harris’ campaign and border policies.

Some people said they were angry, accusing Zuchowski of voter intimidation and racism. Others, including people who live in Portage County, said the sheriff’s post made them afraid.

    Doxx all of the cops.

    It is literally that simple. Them being vulnerable at their homes should be required for that job.

    Everyone knew where the heroes of the Iliad lived. If they want to be tough guy heroes let us know where you live, officer.

    Everybody knew where the sheriff and deputies lived in Mayberry.

      Vulnerable to what? Mob justice?

      People need to be held accountable but violence isn’t the answer.

        Contrary to popular belief, violence actually is the solution in some situations.

        Perhaps not this one and there could be an interesting discussion around that, but I fucking hate the idea that violence is never a solution when it absolutely is sometimes.

      You mean the fictional heroes of the Illiad? You know it’s fiction, right?

      This is a stupid idea. Hate the game, not the players. Institutional change is needed, instead of answering violence with more violence.
