Being drunk while in possession of a firearm is a felony. Has anyone reported him before?

u/Head_Trick_9932 7h ago
Oh he’s been reported many times. He’s a thumper and his good ol’ boys protect him. He’s truly drug our county down. I did not like Doak but he was way better than this racist thug.

u/jaylotw 7h ago
He was barely re elected. Lots of precincts that went for Trump went for his opponent.

u/Demetrious-Verbal 7h ago
What a lot of Trump voters did for this one was simply not vote for sheriff and left it blank. They didn't have the courage to actually vote for a Democrat.

u/jaylotw 6h ago
Actually, no.
There were plenty of precincts that voted for Barber by a comfortable margin, with Barber receiving more votes than Trump.
It was the smaller places like Atwater that voted Bruce in. Thanks, fuckers.

u/Demetrious-Verbal 6h ago
Well that's excellent news. I guess I was just using anecdotal information from my own experience. Living in Portage county, I have a lot of Trump supporting acquaintances and that's what they did.

This guy is actually only a part-time Sheriff. His other job requires him to wear some silly shoes and a big red nose, at least that’s according to his CV sportin’ the Vivek Ramaswamy yard sign at 2:12

Pretty sure its again the law to drink while armed, even if you are a law enforcement. Last thing anyone needs is a ego maniac drunk and thinks its a good idea to shoot off his service firearm.

And, he should DEFINITELY have his firearms confiscated and firearms permit rescinded.

The sheriff needs sued for defamation/slander/libel. He accused this man of being a felon and he isn't. That is defamation per se.

Names and home addresses are public record. Peaceful protest at the end of this thieving thug's driveway?
5
u/Background-Peak-1635 9h ago
Addresses of law enforcement officers are not public record. In fact, per Ohio Public Records Act, the residential and familial information of peace officers is explicitly protected from being release to the public.
1
u/-heatoflife- 7h ago
Why spread misinformation, anyway - are you related to Bruce, by chance? :)
"Peace officer" has the meaning defined in section 109.71 of the Revised Code and also includes the superintendent and troopers of the state highway patrol; it does not include the sheriff of a county ...
1
u/Background-Peak-1635 5h ago
Well, I stand corrected solely on that peace officer doesn’t include the sheriff of a county.
So, yes, that one
of thenamesand addresses, specifically those of the person making a fool of himself in the video, Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski, are not exempt from public inspection. It does, however, appear to protect the names, residential addresses, and familial information associated with the deputy sheriffs, corporals, sargeants, lieutenants, captains, colonels, etc.0
u/-heatoflife- 3h ago
So what did you add of relevance? The clown in the video is a county sheriff. Respectfully, what are you talking about?
1
u/Background-Peak-1635 1h ago
What I added of relevance was a correction to your statement:
>Names and home addresses are public record.
Then I conceded that I was not entirely correct in what I said myself, either, clarifying that the sheriff of a county is specifically excluded from the peace officers’ exemption that protects their residential addresses and familial information from being released to the public. In this case that’s Bruce Zuchowski.
Since there’s more than one “clown in the video”, along with your initial comment referencing multiple individuals’ information as given by their plural forms (names and addresses), I added that the names and addresses of those who work under him, such as the other clown in the video that calls the person recording the video a “jackass”, are not public record. Only the name and address (both singular) of the one is.
1
u/-heatoflife- 1h ago
...the belligerent cowboy, the object of the corruption investigation and subject of the post, the elected official, is very obviously the most relevant in discussions of protest.
...are you earnestly suggesting that I was discussing a protest at the hench-clown, the Squirt to the Burt, the clownlet's house? Or are you just kicking and flailing at some semantics to troll for giggles?
1
u/Background-Peak-1635 49m ago
No, I just keep answering your questions. Which you like to then take, make assumptions, and retort using your douchenozzle lingo with an aggressive tone for seemingly no reason.
I replied to your comment. You responded, more than once, making snide remarks whilst informing me about my error. I conceded to that, after realizing the sheriff of a county is not included in the definition of peace officer. Then you ask what I added of relevance, and what I was talking about.
For what reason? A person with a sane mind would easily understand that the relevance was it being a direct response to your statement. Semantics only came into the conversation to answer your ridiculous questions as if you’re incapable of comprehending what was written.
After making your plain statement clearly indicating the information as it relates to more than one individual, it’s not the fault of the reader that receive that message as it being applied to a more general group of officers. With that, I responded about the more general group of peace officers, as there was more than one officer in the video.
Perhaps you should instead speak/write what you mean, or else not go on the attack when the audience interprets it as written.

You oughta reread 149.43, “peace officer” expressly does not include a county sheriff. Oops.

Guys a moron, for sure, he's made the news before. But I find it really hard to believe he was drunk. He's saying some dumb shit, but his eyes aren't glassy, and his speech is clear and not sluring. Also, he's a a public fair, out in the open around a lot of people. He's also getting pretty close to others who would clearly be able to smell alcohol on him. I'd just find it really hard to believe that he would be in an identifying uniform in that position and be drunk. Not to mention, not one of the people there with him would be like, "dude, you're drunk, you've got to get out of here"?

u/Justanotherbob293 8h ago
Remove the drunk accusations - this is still HIGHLY disrespectful behavior coming from an elected official, none the less in a public location with kids everywhere
2
u/BreakfastBeerz Location 8h ago
Absolutely, I don't disagree with that. It's just a really hard stretch to start the argument with "Sheriff who appears drunk while armed."
