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 city’s 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 people’s civil rights.”

ReplyDeleteWell put.
DeleteThe powers that be in ferguson surely did throw their officers under the bus. Whether this was to apease a segment of the population in ferguson or to kiss holders ass im not sure. Either way an apology is due. Im lucky to live in nice quiet mid WI and Im glad that a tough area like Milwaukee has a tough Sheriff like Clark. We need more like him.
