Sheriff David Clarke: Liberal politics and media fueled Milwaukee riots
thehill.com ^ | Aug. 15, 2016 | Sheriff David Clarke

The Milwaukee riots should be the last time the policies of liberal Democrats are held up as anything other than misery-inducing, divisive, exploitative and racist manipulation of the urban populations. Unfortunately they won’t.

As Sheriff of Milwaukee County, I am furious that the progressive left has put my citizens in harm’s way and that I had to send my officers into cauldrons of anarchy and hatred that were created by the left.

As an elected public servant I am livid that Milwaukee’s pathetic, kowtowing city officials and aldermen take this opportunity to abandon their citizens and preen before the Black Lives Matter-enabling media.

As a leader who understands that freedom and earned success are the pathways out of the ghetto, I’m disappointed, too, in any Republican that feels they need to tiptoe around the patently obvious issue at-hand: we are folding our society of freedom ensured through law-and- order over to bullies of the left. The politicians and talking heads on both sides of the aisle who offer little resistance and total cowardice.

No, and neither will the media, which has fueled these riots.

The NYT should be sued back to the chiseling on rock era. They reported the guy was unarmed etc etc which caused the riot. There should be some charge of incitement to riot hurled at them.

They haven't listened for at least 50 years and won't for another 50.

He wears it well.

I think every Sheriff should dress the part. It’s heritage.

Oh yes, the NYT and other MSM outlets love the civil unrest.

They would wholeheartedly back 0bama in declaring Martial Law and appoint himself Emperor for Life.

This good man really does get it. The politicians that listen will be those all in for Trump. The rest will await the results of this election.

Milwaukee, today, is one more illustration of just how desperately important is the coming showdown, November 8th.

The left may have encouraged the riots in his county just out of hatred for his honest outspokenness.
