NATIONAL PRESS CLUB, WASHINGTON D.C.--
Sheriff Clarke talks about Ferguson Missouri and how politicians and irresponsible groups came like vultures on a roadside carcass to exploit the situation. Eric Holder made a bad situation worse with self-serving rhetoric. Clarke is a lifelong resident of the City of Milwaukee and in March 2002 was appointed Sheriff by Governor Scott McCallum, and eight months later was elected to his first four-year term, earning 64%of the vote. Sheriff Clarke is now in his third term, having been re-elected in November 2006 and 2010, increasing his victory margins to 73% and 74%.HT: Michelle Obama's Mirror: Attention All Coppers: Prepare to Go-Pro
"Of all the saints and sages who spoke so wisely of the two worlds, they are thrust like foolish prophets forth; their words to scorn are scattered, and their mouths are stopped with dust." Omar the Tent Maker knew of what he spoke, talking the talk is not the same as walking the walk.
Cloward amd Piven and Alinsky did both, and taught their disciples to do likewise. Who are we teaching?
Who's doing what to turn the tide?
Ideas have influence, consequences when put into action -- learn techniques from your effective enemies.
Sheriff Clarke - a breath of fresh air in what has become a nation of double speak. No wonder he keeps getting re-elected in a landslide. What I wouldn't give to have him as sheriff of my county.

My only edit is that you never published his first name and I think that's somewhat of a slight. His given name is David Clarke, a man of the rule of law who has the guts to speak truth to power.

Then you're an idiot. Being black is no excuse.

Some trust, some benefit of the doubt should be extended. My hands have taken lives with impunity. With government sanction.
That having been said, here's Machiavelli:
Fidarsi è bene ma non fidarsi è meglio.
To trust is good but not to trust is better.
