Milwaukee Country Sheriff David Clarke, who happens to be black, lambasted Obama Attorney General Eric Holder, the first sitting attorney general in U.S. history to be held in contempt of Congress, and professional race hustler and racial grievance profiteer, Al Sharpton, for their exploitation of the unfortunate situation in Ferguson, MO. “Someone mentioned Eric Holder. I’m known for not sugar-coating things. This pissed me off,” Sheriff Clarke said in the beginning of his address the National Press Club this month regarding Ferguson. [MUST WATCH VIDEO BELOW] “I sat up and watched, as events unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri–unfortunate situation, obviously. Anytime a law enforcement officer uses force that takes a life, it deserves a thorough, transparent vetting–investigation. We all agree with that” he said. “But then some groups began to converge on the small town of Ferguson, Missouri, like vultures on a roadside carcass,” a disgusted Clarke told the audience, specifically calling out communist front groups like the New Black Panthers, and “people like Al Sharpton.” “To come and exploit that situation, and instead of coming into help and restore calm, poured gas on that fire with some of their inflammatory and irresponsible rhetoric,” Clarke charged, referring to Missouri Governor Jay Nixon and Senator Claire McCaskill, both Democrats, who he said “threw law enforcement under the bus for political expediency,” and are the same politicians who come around to beg support from law enforcement at election time. “I expected that from Governor Nixon. I expected that from Claire McCaskell. Those are nothing but two-bit politicians…but I did not expect that from Eric Holder, who calls himself a law enforcement officer,” Sheriff Clarke, who is also known as being a strong supporter of the Second Amendment said, obviously disappointed. Clarke then slammed Holder’s statement in which he publicly claimed during the Ferguson uproar that he himself had been racially profiled by police, once while serving as a federal prosecutor. “Wait a minute,” Sheriff Clarke began in response to Holder’s claim of being racially profiled. “Mr. Attorney General, if you felt those officers had violated your Fourth Amendment, and you’re a federal prosecutor, and you didn’t say anything at the time? On behalf of everybody in the United States, you could have done something if you felt that. You could have made a complaint–because all of us kind of realize in law enforcement, right, we testify–what do they say in court? If you didn’t write it down, if you didn’t report it, it didn’t happen.” Sheriff Clarke continued to question the believability of Holder’s claim: “Really, Mr. Attorney General? You didn’t report it then. You didn’t write it down. But you’re telling us some 10-15 years later for self-serving purposes. I thought, ‘Why did you do that?’” Clarke asked. You insulted every law enforcement officer, every man and woman who puts on that badge and uniform everyday, risks their lives in service to their community,” he charged. “And I thought, ‘How could you do that?’ Who cares about what happened to you? What about the people of Ferguson, Missouri right now? Who cares about you, Eric Holder?” But he did that for self-serving purposes.” “This man [Holder] sat up there and kind up insinuated that these law enforcement officers go out with some nefarious and malicious intent in their heart, to deny people their rights, and to indiscriminately shoot and take people’s lives for nothing. And I was incensed by that.” Sheriff Clarke contended that Holder owes an apology to every man or woman who serves in law enforcement and urged them to confront Holder when they see him about whether he’s ready to apologize. Clarke referred to Holder, who in his position is the “top cop in the nation,” as an “S.O.B.” for his forked tongue in referring to officers as “serving admirably” while almost simultaneously accusing them of being racists. “Remember that the next time this guy [Holder] comes to town,” the Sheriff urged to his fellow law enforcement officers. “Because he’s on a mission.” ~ Mark Downing December 1 at 2:16am · Modesto, CA
