Sheriff Clarke: Black Lives Matter Protests ‘Political Construct’ To Mobilize Black Vote In 2016
Breitbart Video ^ | 8/10/15 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 08/11/2015 2:28:38 AM PDT by markomalley

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) said that the Black Lives Matter protests have been”turned into a political construct” and are “nothing more than an attempt to try to energize and mobilize the black vote through the 2016 election” on Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel “O’Reilly Factor.”

Clarke said the renewed protests in Ferguson were “nothing more than a return to the scene of the big lie, the hands up, don’t shoot, this whole Black Lives Matter movement. This false narrative that came out Ferguson. They destroyed the town. Look, a bunch of thugs, a bunch of creeps, criminals, race-hustlers, with a scattering of some law-abiding people, converged in this are and ripped the town up. I would like to think that this phony movement would have come back to Ferguson one year later to apologize to the people, the good law-abiding people of Ferguson, Missouri. But instead, we get this whole phony movement that’s just been turned into a political construct, Eric, I think you know that. This is nothing more than an attempt to try to energize and mobilize the black vote through the 2016 election. And there’s no better way for them to inflame it than to bring race and police together in the same narrative because it’s an explosive issue.” And “You know, I’ve renamed this movement after Baltimore ‘coming to a city near you.’ And it’s also happened in other cities. Yeah, they’re going to keep this thing going. It’s an unfortunate thing because, look, this isn’t Selma, Alabama, this isn’t Montgomery, this isn’t the Civil Rights movement. Mike Brown was engaged in felonious conduct

There is a marked difference between the Civil Rights struggles of the 50-60s and today’s tantrums.

In the former, valid dissention about rights infringement and racial bias were coalesced around true leaders who could plan and focus that dissent, MLK being the one that most commonly comes to mind.

In the latter, group think and ill-thought spontaneous capriciousness is greatly aided by social media - that ObamaPhone carried around by everyone. Further, when you get race baiting hustlers like Jessie and Al showing up in the aftermath, the true message/feeling gets lost in the melee.

My advice is to get a leader that really cares about a real problem and isn’t interested in lining his pockets. Get someone who doesn’t want to “burn the whole damned thing down.” Here’s a word of caution: That man isn’t Barack Obama.

Sheriff David Clarke is a total exception to the rule of today’s black culture. I highly respect him and never think of him as one of those animals I always write about.

He is simply a very good American citizen and patriot. He is one of us for he sets the example that others should follow.

It’s a shame that he is ostracized by his peers simply because he is a good loyal American citizen and not an animal on the streets living the criminal life.

I am sure he takes a tremendous amount of heat along with hate from the liberal left and ethnic groups. It’s a shame.

He, like Donald Trump, speaks the truth and takes the heat for doing so...but does not back down at all.

I would like to see him as the next head of the DOJ and finally, we just might restore law and order in this country.

"That man isn’t Barack Obama."

Exactly. Obama could have done a lot to deter all the violence that's now occurring with public pronouncements. Can anybody remember anything Dear Leader has said to try and quash the violence?

He sent the AG, but as president, Obama's words would carry a lot more weight in black communities. Certainly, he'll never come out and tell blacks to quit blaming Evil Whitey for their problems.

These riots and other attacks against Whites throughout the fruited plain are all being egged on or orchestrated right out of the White House. The “keep the Blacks in perpetual agitation right up until 2016 election day” campaign.
