Shortly after four snipers began opening fire on law enforcement officers in and around Dallas’ Dealey Plaza Thursday night, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke weighed in on social media.
The shootings began at about 9:00 p.m. local time (10:00 p.m. ET) as a demonstration protesting police shootings in Louisiana and Minnesota was beginning to wind down.
Clarke, who’s no stranger to controversy, began at the top — he took President Barack Obama to task.
American needs Obama to get out of bed & address Dallas situation NOW. He poured gas on this situation with his dog whistle message earlier.

Then he worked his way down.
Waiting for Obama, Lynch and anti gun bigots to blame Dallas slaughter of police on the need for more gun control or background checks.

He also took media and the Black Lives Matter movement to task for hyping up shootings by police officers, yet ignoring a larger problem in the black community.
All the phony outrage & news coverage over two police shootings yet nothing on the black on black carnage in Chicago that happens every day.

Black LIES Matter wants this conversation about Black lives? Let’s have it dammit. Talk to me about Chicago black on black murder Black LIES

When Clarke finished on social media, he took his grievances to “Fox & Friends.”
And his input, as always, was appreciated.
