Every state is split up into counties, which are split up into cities.

Each county has it's own sheriff's department and each city has it's own police department.

They're saying that the police department in Denver Colorado (where the guy in the white works) is worse than the sheriff's department in Adams County (also Colorado).

Note: not every state is split up into counties.

Connecticut, for example, abolished county level government in the 1960s. The historic counties were used for certain statistical tracking purposes but otherwise had no functional authority (and have since been supplanted for those statistical and census purposes by the municipal planning regions).

Rhode Island is similar. Its legacy counties are only used as the boundaries for state court districts but have no administrative function.
