Re “Voters’ Measure A mistake,” letters, Nov. 15

A letter writer expressed concern about L.A. County’s Measure A giving a “political group” — the Board of Supervisors — the right to oust an elected sheriff.

I prefer that or civilian appointment of a sheriff to having a law enforcement official with armed subordinates who refuses to cooperate with civilian oversight. At least under Measure A, it will take four of five supervisors to oust a sheriff.

How would our state or nation be with an army that wasn’t under civilian authority? Like Myanmar or Egypt?
