Herschel Walker’s campaign tells NBC News that it has ordered 1,000 imitation plastic law enforcement badges as a fundraising tool.
“He’s empowered criminals to think they’re better than police and because he believes in no cash bail and releasing prisoners,” Walker said during the debate. “I have more sheriffs that have endorsed me than anyone running in Georgia right now. And I even have some sheriffs here. They’ve endorsed me because they know I have their back, and they’re gonna have my back. So to listen to him say that [he supports law enforcement] after calling them names, I think it’s a disgrace.
“It’s a real badge, exactly like the one I wear every day. Now, he doesn’t have arrest powers or anything like that,” Rowland said in an interview. The executive director of the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association, J. Terry Norris, said sheriffs across the state have used honorary badges for years as a “gift recognizing someone’s support for law enforcement.”
“I didn’t really know what he was saying, because the moderator rightly said there are no props,” Nelson said. “There was over-talking. If he said, ‘I’m a law enforcement officer and I have these powers,’ then I have a problem with that. If it was in the context of saying, ‘I support law enforcement and they support me,’ then I have no problem.”
“The previous administration did not provide Sheriff Owens a list of the previous honorary deputies, nor a list of their responsibilities,” a spokesman said by email. “Therefore, Sheriff Owens had to rebuild the program from scratch and cannot confirm who might have previously held the honorary deputy title.”
