Attorney general Eric Holder and Missouri Democratic leaders need to apologize to the law-enforcement community for impugning officers motives in light of the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., according to one prominent county sheriff.
Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke, who gained notoriety last year for encouraging gun ownership within his Wisconsin community, said Holder, Governor Jay Nixon, and Senator Claire McCaskill made the situation in Ferguson worse with their irresponsible, inflammatory comments about the citys police force and its supposed problem with race relations. Clarke argued on Fox News on Friday that the trio was insinuating that our law-enforcement officers across the United States engage in some nefarious or systematic and cultural attempts to violate peoples civil rights.

A quote from Sherif Clarke
You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back; but are you prepared? Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there. You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. Were partners now. Can I count on you?
(first post so I hope that I get it right)
Eric Holder also needs to apologize to all Americans...
I see a audit in his future.
Holder suffers from Caucasian-phobia.
Eric Holder needs to resign.
If he does, I’ll skip the apology.
True, but there we'd have to live in fear Obama would appoint Al 'burn 'em down' Sharpton to the post.
