Sheriff David Clarke: American safety has been shattered
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. brought the crowd at the Republican National Convention to its feet Monday night, declaring "Blue Lives Matter" to wild applause.
We simply cannot be great if we do not feel safe in our homes, on our streets and in our communities, Clarke said during his convention speech.
Donald Trump understands that what can make our nation safe again is a recommitment to a system of justice in which no government official not even those who have fought their way to the marble and granite halls of Washington no private citizen, not even Hillary Clinton ... can claim privilege above the law. Clarkes speech received the biggest applause of the night up to that point.
I see this every day at street level, where many Americans increasingly have an uneasiness about the ability of their families to live safely in these troubling times. This transcends race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age and lifestyle.
Clarke wrote an op-ed in The Hill earlier Monday, arguing that Black Lives Matter is the enemy.
We as a people need to declare that we stand with rule of law, and not with the false tales of the revolutionary Marxist forces, who most recently have rebranded themselves from Occupy Wall Street to Black Lives Matter, wrote Clarke.

I was less then impressed. I expected more from a flag officer, and head of DIA. But then, I normally briefed them, not listened to them, so maybe my expectations were too high.

Clarke dismantled Lemon yesterday...
He sure did. It did not go the way he thought it would. Lemon couldn't get him off fast enough and when he did, at the end he looked like he'd been sucking lemons.

The FBI would never accept a uniform as their director. There is a distinct divide between suits and street cops.

Clarke is a beautiful American and a man’s man. There is no greater pleasure than to hear a man speak honestly and from the gut. This man needs to assume power, political power and soon.

The reporter was 20/20’s John Stossel. He asked if pro-wrestling was fake and a wrestler, David Schultz, punched him.

Respectfully disagree, friend.
They’ll do what they’re told to do. Just like they are right now.
