    • Still speaking of the Sheriff, KFI posted that truly awful crime montage video Villanueva threatened to release as part of his fearmongery saber-rattling at Metro because of course they did (Alissa Walker tweet).

We will also remind you that Sheriff candidates continue to complain that KFI is violating election and broadcasting rules by allowing Villanueva to continue with his weekly show.
