Or at least give us a like!"Most law enforcement offices are now looking to the public when in search of someone and posting the mug shots or photos of them on their social media feeds.The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=880100550779927&amp;set=a.451152653674721">post</a> quickly gained attention quickly and the comment section is divided.Some folks expressed concern, suggesting that the sheriff's office was being insensitive to potential struggles that the man might be facing, such as mental illness or addiction.I’m disgusted in this post, this community just lost 2 loved ones to addiction issues and seeing the blatant disrespect towards someone who clearly has mental health issues on top of addiction issues is just beyond disappointing. Do better oxford county, do better.On the other hand, some laughed and applauded the sheriff’s office for the post.
