It is Obama's Fault!

Sheriff David Clarke Blasts Obama for Dallas Police Massacre

By Debra Heine July 8, 2016

Never one to mince words, Sheriff David Clarke today blamed President Obama for creating the racial unrest that led to the police massacre in Dallas. During his appearance on Fox Business, Clarke spoke in measured tones, but his extreme dislike of the president and his policies came through loud and clear.
Clarke wasn't impressed by Obama's remarks in Warsaw earlier today, where he condemned the "vicious, calculated and despicable" attack on police officers.
"I don't believe there's any sincerity behind the president's words," Clarke began. "Just yesterday he was popping off at the mouth again -- exploiting the situations in Louisiana and Minnesota -- exploiting it on the basis of race. He has no foundation for that. There's no data or research that suggests or proves anything he thinks in terms of disparity."
Obama posted a screed on Facebook Thursday afternoon that blamed the police for the racial disparities within the criminal justice system. "All Americans should recognize the anger, frustration, and grief that so many Americans are feeling," Obama wrote. "What's clear is that these fatal shootings are not isolated incidents. They are symptomatic of the broader challenges within our criminal justice system, the racial disparities that appear across the system year after year, and the resulting lack of trust that exists between law enforcement and too many of the communities they serve."
The Milwaukee sheriff offered the president his own statistic about racial disparity.

"Forty percent of law enforcement officers in the country that are killed in the line of duty are killed by black men," Clarke said, pointing out that blacks only represent about fifteen percent of the population. "When you look at that, there's some disparity there."
