      For sure, which is why I said it would be unlikely and not impossible. Maybe it’s more likely than I’m thinking, but idk I just grew up in a town not unlike Cleveland and not that far from it. It might not even be a majority white population, which is true in a lot of small southern “cities” (they aren’t large cities, populations of ~15k)

      And I mean Candace Owens exists so anything is possible

        I mean, being people, and Americans at that, black people run the gamut, including those complicit in the white supremacist criminal punishment system. Which a coroner knowingly enters, usually having other options in medical fields. According to some random site, Ohio coroners are elected positions, so they are even members of the political class!

          Yeah, I agree. This town is in Mississippi, though. Also doesn’t even require medical qualifications, they take a class after being elected.

            tbh that could be a wash on who joins because it may then attact “criminology” types and nepo hires. I don’t know anything about this one particular guy though.
