Sheriff David Clarke’s frustration was boiling over.
After the arrest of the alleged gunman in the shooting of two police officers in Ferguson, Mo., the sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wis., and one of the most outspoken law enforcement officers in the country called out Attorney General Eric Holder once again for his open sympathies toward the “peaceful protesters” who’ve put the Missouri town through hell since August.
@michellemalkin Now that the perp has been found and identified, will Holder come out tomorrow and call him by name as a “damn punk”?

Holder is the country’s top law enforcement officer, so his apparently race-based hostility toward police officers and the criminal justice system is infuriating law enforcement professionals like Clarke.
And because Clarke is black, the antipathy of the liberal establishment toward the legal system as a whole is doubly infuriating.
With the arrest Sunday of 20-year-old Jeffrey Wiliiams, a black man who authorities said was an active participant in the anti-cop protest that preceded the shootings early Thursday morning, Clarke’s anger was clear.

Fortunately, Clarke had plenty of company in the social media world, who responded with a combination of support and sarcasm.
@SheriffClarke And he’d be right. But the solution isn’t to stop locking them up, it’s to get them to stop committing so many crimes.

@SheriffClarke Wait for it: “Jeffrey Williams could have been me 35 years ago.”

.@SheriffClarke What he SHLD come out & say is: “This dirt-wad scum-sucking cop shooter could have been MY kid.” #NoOwnershipForCopShootings

@SheriffClarke holder can and should file charges under fed law, since he was a felon with a firearm, but he will not do it

Clarke’s willingness to speak out on the issues of race and crime — and his unforgiving hostility to the black/liberal establishment that deliberately conflates the two — has made him a national figure in the Obama Era.
Calling out Eric Holder yet again shows why.
@SheriffClarke @jake_bradford88 Sheriff Clarke, sounds like you’ve seen this game played before. So glad you’re on the side of honor in USA
