Actually, unless something changed, Emma is the Sheriff. David just filled in while Emma was trapped in the EF with Snow, though he still works down at the police station. I would actually classify him more as a Deputy.

And I'm not saying David is a Lazy GFN. I'm just saying that, if MM has been suffering from sleep deprivation (which is a common occurance among new parents, trust me on this one), then David should be stepping in so that MM can get a little extra rest. He could let Hook and Robin go help Emma, he could deal with the frozen generator, and MM could find a quieter, slightly less urgent, crisis to resolve. (I'd say go and find a quiet place to rest, but I don't think that ever happens in SB).
