This is what determination looks like.
The president had flown to Hawaii and official Washington was on a holiday break, but Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke spent a busy Christmas week using his Twitter account to challenge President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder and the liberal establishment for the ongoing rhetoric against the country’s police officers.
Clarke’s Twitter posts kicked off in earnest Tuesday with a comment about a Tennessee man being questioned about online threats he’d make against the NYPD in the wake of unrest in the Big Apple. Clarke left no question about who is responsible for the current atmosphere of antagonism between police and those who blame them for the troubles of the black community.
http://t.co/uoPyoOqPsc This pathway was created by Obama, Holder, de Blasio to unjustified cop hatred by crazies. I’ll make them own this.

But he directed his fire even wider — at the whole contemporary liberal system of government that fosters dependency in the same communities it pretends to be helping.
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.

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

http://t.co/1gEm3xakTA The facts don’t lie. Talk about, I can’t breathe? None of these blacks killed by other blacks can breathe either.

Clarke wasn’t done.
On Christmas Eve he was still at it, eviscerating protesters trying to equate the thug “martyrs” of the current mood of unrest with the great moments of the civil rights movement of the past.
Frederick Douglas, Dred Scott, Rosa Parks, Dr MLK Jr., Mike Brown. One of these names should not be listed among these. Guess which one?

And he blasted anew the official liberal line that these pretests are all the cops’ fault.
Anyone who thinks this anarchist assault on the police is about police treatment better wake up. It is a war by socialists on our democracy.
— David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) December 24, 2014
On Christmas Day, responding to yet another New York Times story that tried to highlight yet another manufactured fault line among Republicans over “law and order” issues, Clarke used Twitter to attack politicians who pander to the allegedly aggrieved by making excuses for illegal conduct.
http://t.co/shmUIvnTrh Normalizing criminal behavior in order to win an election is shameful conduct. The first duty of gov is to protect.
— David A. Clarke, Jr. (@SheriffClarke) December 25, 2014
Clarke rounded things out with a CNN interview Friday that again called out Obama, Holder and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio for their shameful part in promoting spurious anti-police protests.
The responses were plentiful — the hatred Clarke takes from a left that despises a black man with the self-respect to disagree with the Democrat-progressive worldview borders on astonishing. What white conservative has ever been called a “disgrace to his race”? Without getting too far into the muck of the liberal mindset, this one is a good example.
@CNN sheriff #davidClark, a DOWNRIGHT DISGRACE 2 his race! He’s NOTHING but a white mans letter “after” M, + IGNORANT 2 facts! #Milwaukee

But the encouragement of supporters was sincere.
@SheriffClarke Yes, citizens need to be protected from obama’s bloated, tyrannical, corrupt regime. Keep up the great work, Sheriff Clarke. — Anne Walker (@awalkerrn412) December 26, 2014
It’s a good bet he will — even on Christmas.
