As a sense of calm returned to Milwaukee's Sherman Park neighborhood Sunday morning after a night of rioting and gunfire, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. called for the National Guard to respond to the area.
We cannot allow for a repeat of what happened last night. I am going to utilize all available resources to accomplish that," said Clarke, whose department patrols county parks, in a news release. He also said he would be involved in "ongoing discussions" with city officials about the situation. Clarke said he had consulted with Gov. Scott Walker and Major Gen. Donald Dunbar.
Clarke's comments are in stark contrast to Milwaukee police and city leaders who said overnight Saturday they had the resources to handle the situation, including help from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office and Waukesha County agencies and did not anticipate calling upon the National Guard.
The unrest overnight came after a fatal police shooting. Milwaukee police say an officer shot and killed an armed man who was fleeing a traffic stop about 3:30 p.m. Saturday near W. Auer Ave. and N. 44th St. The officer ordered the man to drop his gun and when the man did not, the officer fired, wounding the man twice, once in the chest and once in the arm, Mayor Tom Barrett said.

They admit as much. Then they burn down grocery stores and cry they live in a food ‘desert.’

Clark, a great American standing up for Americans and not special interests! No racists. No Democrats or Republicans. No political parties. He’s on TV day after day beating the drums for America and Americans.

Sheriff Clark is the right man for a very tough job.
He needs our help.

Loretta Lynch herself is guilty of a felony, conspiring with Bill to obstruct justice and bribery too.
Interesting how she followed the FBI's recommendation NOT to indict Hillary on her email crimes, but completely IGNORED the FBI's request to investigate her Clintoon Foundation crimes.

Milwaukee wakes up to scenes from a war zone. Dozens of people beaten and dozens of businesses burned to the ground. From watching this develop last night, I don't think it's over. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near Milwaukee tonight.

Clarke is a good man. Sad that his adherence to law and order in America is a minority view compared to those in power in DC.
0dunga, Lynch, Comey, etc.. Blatant criminals, ALL OF THEM.

And we never hear about whites being unreasonably shot. Per capita is comparable, but nobody cares.

If the rioting and burning start up again tonight it would be a real shame if the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel burned down. Just saying.....

Pretty much the breakdown of law and order is only going to HELP TRUMP.

BS...
"Then people would feel good about working and they don't have time to get into mischief and criminal activity. What's the point of having a high school diploma when there's nothing for kids to do after?"
My grandparents were poor, my parents were poor, I'm considered poor...Not a one of us burned anything down. We did what we could and enjoyed life.

If gov refuses NG, then it’s time to deputize the modern posse. AR type weapons are mandatory.

Men and women like Sheriff Clarke, Justice Clarence Thomas and economist/suthor Thomas Sowell provide a small glimmer of hope for America.
Too bad there are so few of them.
Blacks should look to them for leadership instead of walking around with their heads up their butts following people like Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and John Lewis.

Watch for this fish-wrap liberal Milwaukee newspaper as well as the enemedia to start a national, coordinated onslaught and defamation attack on Sheriff Clarke just as these media enemies-of-the Republic are doing on Mr. Trump.
You can make book on it.

I hope BLM has a hundred riots between now and November.
The Trump tsunami will be so overwhelming that the Demonrats won’t be able to stuff enough ballots in three lifetimes.
