The delusional self-hating Black man below. His name is David Clarke, he is the Milwaukee County Sheriff.
Sheriff Clarke will brutalize and kill a Black man quicker than a Klansman in Mississippi in 1939 catching a Black man leaving a white woman's bedroom at One AM in the morning.
Mr. Clarke is a RepubliKlan party favorite. The put him in front of the microphones and television cameras every time a Black man is murdered by the police. Without exception he always says that it was the Black male victims fault that he is dead.
Mr. Clarke agrees with RepubliKlan Peter King:
Mr. Clarke says that Black man, Mr. Eric Garner, who was choked to death by a gang of policeman surrounding him like a pack of rabid hyenas, is responsible for his own death.

America’s most radical law enforcement figure is headed to the Trump administration

On Wednesday afternoon, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke announced he is leaving his current position to take a job in the Trump administration.
During the presidential campaign, Clarke was one of Trump’s most vocal supporters. But as he traveled the country speaking on Trump’s behalf and made regular appearances on Fox News last year, four inmates died at the Milwaukee County Jail he oversees.
The family of Terrill Thomas, a mentally ill inmate who died of dehydration after officers reportedly shut off his water, has since sued. A prosecutor’s inquest recently resulted in charges being recommended against seven jail employees involved in Thomas’ death. But when Clarke was asked about Thomas’ death in March, he criticized the media for not devoting more coverage to his crimes.
“I have nearly 1,000 inmates. I don’t know all their names but is this the guy who was in custody for shooting up the Potawatomi Casino causing one man to be hit by gunfire while in possession of a firearm by a career convicted felon?” Clarke told the AP. “The media never reports that in stories about him. If that is him, then at least I know who you are talking about.”
Last month, the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved spending $35,000 to sue Clarke for blocking an investigation.
Clarke’s office was hit was a separate lawsuit earlier this year by a woman named Melissa Hall who claims she was shackled before, during, and after childbirth at a local hospital in 2013. A newborn baby was among the four people who died at Clarke’s jail last year.
Yet Trump considered Clarke for the position of Secretary of Homeland Security anyway. While he was under consideration in the weeks after the election, Clarke tweeted that “there is no legitimate reason” to protest Trump’s victory, adding that “temper tantrum from these radical anarchists must be quelled.”
That tweet stood in contrast to Clarke’s position just a month earlier. While Trump was struggling to recover from being caught on tape bragging about sexual assault, Clarke called for “pitchforks and torches” to protest the country’s “corrupt” institutions.
Days after that tweet was posted, Clarke appeared on Fox News and said, “There is no police brutality in America. We ended that back in the ‘60s.” (Nearly 1,000 people died at the hands of American police officers last year.)
That sort of incendiary language was nothing new for Clarke. He blamed protests that erupted in Milwaukee last August, following the fatal police shooting of Sylville Smith, on “the growth of the underclass.” In 2015, he called for suspending the constitutional rights of Americans who are “on the internet spewing jihadi rhetoric,” rounding them up, and detaining them “indefinitely at Gitmo.” He’s also compared Black Lives Matter with terrorists.
The month after posting that tweet, Clarke did a radio interview where he opined on “blacks” more generally.
“Let me tell you why blacks sell drugs and involve themselves in criminal behavior instead of a more socially acceptable lifestyle — because they’re uneducated, they’re lazy, and they’re morally bankrupt,” Clarke said. “That’s why.”
The next month, Clarke made a mysterious NRA-funded trip to Moscow and met with a deputy of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Since Trump’s election, Clarke has mocked women who participated in anti-Trump marches the day after the inauguration.
Clarke’s also recently touted a debunked DNC murder conspiracy theory. The list of his outrageous tweets goes on and on.
On Wednesday, Clarke told a Wisconsin radio host his role with the Trump administration will be assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security. Under Obama, people in similar roles handled the intergovernmental response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and worked on containing the swine flu outbreak. An Obama administration official tweeted that Clarke will be taking his old job and said he’s skeptical the controversial sheriff has the skills to succeed.
The ACLU quickly came out in opposition to Clarke’s new position as well.
Clarke’s appointment isn’t subject to Senate confirmation, however. As news of it swirled on Wednesday, Milwaukee County Executive Chrie Abele said, “I’ve said repeatedly that MKE deserves better than Sheriff Clarke. America does, too.”
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel associate editorial page editor wrote that Clarke’s departure “will be good for [the] department and Milwaukee County.”
“It’s good that Clarke is leaving, and we hope he can do a better job in Homeland Security than he ever did here. We’ll be watching to see,” Ernst-Ulrich Franzen wrote. “Clearly, he lost interest in being sheriff long ago and was no longer doing the job that voters elected him to do. But before he goes, Clarke owes this community an explanation for the four deaths that occurred in the jail last year. Voters deserve at least that much.”
The Sheriff of Trump’s America
David Clarke is the symbol of everything that’s wrong with this horrific administration.

From 2008 to 2013, 10 people died in the jail run by Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. In 2016, over a six-month period, four people died in his jail, including a newborn baby. One inmate, Terrill Thomas, died of “profound dehydration.” He was heard begging for water in the days before his death. When one of Clarke’s deputies crashed his car into a woman’s vehicle, breaking her neck, his office claimed the victim was intoxicated and threatened her with charges. And this past January, Clarke detained and questioned a man who shook his head at himwhile on an airplane.
That’s Clarke’s record. His rhetoric isn’t much better. Clarke routinely condemns Black Lives Matter and other activist movements as “terrorists,” at one point warning that BLM was collaborating with the Islamic State group to end representative government in America. After the 2016 election, the sheriff called for mass crackdowns on anti-Trump protesters, and in his book, he advocated rounding up American citizens by the hundreds of thousands and sending them to Guantanamo. He’s been a guest on Alex Jones’ show and a frequent purveyor of conspiracy theories. And as of this week, he says he is an incoming official in the Department of Homeland Security.
I say “he says” because it’s unclear if he’s actually been offered the position. All we have is his announcement that he will “accept an appointment as an assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security” working in the Office of Partnership and Engagement, where he would help coordinate the department’s outreach to local law enforcement agencies. The actual DHS has yet to confirm this appointment, telling reporters, “No such announcement with regard to the Office of Public Engagement has been made.”
If Clarke is joining the Trump administration, it wouldn’t be a shock. He’s been a Trump loyalist since the former reality television star launched his campaign in 2015. He spoke at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last year, crisscrossed the country in support of Trump’s presidential campaign, and was a frequent defender of Trump on Fox News and other outlets. Given the president’s obsession with loyalty—an obsession so deep that he reportedly wants to bring retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn back into the administration even as Flynn’s wrongdoing threatens his presidency—it would not be a surprise to learn that Clarke’s announcement was legitimate.
It should go without saying that this is a disaster. Clarke’s record shows he is plainly unqualified for any kind of public service. And in an administration defined by scandal, he invites even further scrutiny. His jail is under investigation for the aforementioned deaths, he has a penchant for racist, over-the-top rhetoric, and he even has unusual ties to the Russian government.
At the moment, “Trump hires unqualified figure” is the “dog bites man” of political news. But as we wade through the endless stream of controversy, we shouldn’t let these relatively small stories fall by the wayside. David Clarke is a dangerous figure with a demonstrated contempt for professionalism, decency, and human life.
Under a typical Republican administration, he’d be a pariah no matter how much he advocated for the president on television. This is not a typical administration. Instead, we have one that cares less about law than it does some draconian vision of order, and that is more interested in rewarding the most heinous of friends than serving the public interest.
