Better in their words…

How many African Americans can name the Sheriff in question?

======
I do like Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke. He speaks his mind and leaves no doubt as to what he means. In an interview during Christmas week on CNN with Poppy Harlow, Clarke gave a special message to those protesting police officers under the banner of “Black lives matter.” Clarke said if black lives matter those protesters would be outraged at abortion and protesting that.

The sheriff wanted protesters to take emotion off the table and have an “objective discussion” about the reality of black on black crime. He also indicated that when the recent deaths of black men due to white police officers were a “sliver of what is going on in America’s ghettos today.”

Clarke pointed out that statistics from 2012 and 2013 indicate that in his own county of Milwaukee eighty percent of murder victims were black. Of those blacks murdered, seventy percent of their killers were black. In other words, Clarke was pointing out that blacks are killing their own people, something we have known for some time.

He also said that there were lots of lies about police put out by those with agendas and said that the use of deadly force against black males is actually down seventy-five percent since 1999. In addition to those statistics, between 2011 and 2012, 386 whites were killed by police versus 140 blacks. “So I’m just saying let’s put the data out there, and let’s have an objective discussion, minus the emotion and the minus the rhetoric,” he said.

When asked about a tweet Clarke sent to New York Times reporter Mitch Smith in which he said, “If only these faux protestors were asked by media about all black on black killing or black babies aborted in US every year.”

“When I hear these things that ‘black lives matter,’ the only people who really believe that statement are American police officers who go into American ghettos every day to keep people from killing each other,” he said. “All right, so, yes I did say that and I meant it. Look, the abortions? If black lives, if they really mattered, that’s where the outrage would be. That’s where we’d see protests.”

In addition to that tweet, Clarke provide these tweets on December 23. Though he did not blame Barack Obama, Eric Holder or Mayor Bill de Blasio for the execution of NYPD police officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos, he did blast the race baiting politicians for creating the pathway that led to their deaths.

There is no need to retrain police in America. We need to retrain politicians on how to end liberal gov policies that crippled Black America

When I see tee shirts saying “I Can’t Breathe” I think of how liberal gov policy has its boot on the neck of the Black family.

Here is a way out of the mess fueled by Pres Obama, AG Holder, Mayor de Blasio who benefited politically from this.

This pathway was created by Obama, Holder, de Blasio to unjustified cop hatred by crazies. I’ll make them own this.

This is the message that the POTUS should be delivering. Instead we get race politics.

Many in America applaud Sheriff Clarke for speaking the truth. One of those is Jesse Lee Peterson, who praised Clarke’s statements. “He’s 100 percent correct,” Peterson said. “If black lives matter, why is it that they are not shutting down some of these clinics, if not all of them?”

Recently the sheriff said that race relations were worse under Barack Obama and turned Obama’s “You Didn’t Build That” nonsense on Obama, saying “He built that.” If black Americans understood how much those they have supported, like Barack Obama and his ilk, have sought their destruction by means of welfare and abortion, there would be hell to pay. Instead of turning on the police, these protesters would turn their rage on the politicians and the abortion clinics.
