Sheriff David Clarke says police brutality and racism have ended
Even for Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr., this was over the top.
Over the past year, Clarke has become a regular on Fox News with his generally unwavering support of police officers often while using inflammatory, Ann Coulter-style rhetoric.
But Clarke outdid himself this week with his unqualified assertion on "Fox & Friends" that police racism and brutality were relics of the past.
"First off, there is no police brutality in America. We ended that back in the '60s," Clarke told co-host Brian Kilmeade earlier this week. He continued, "There's a new Harvard study out that shows that there is no racism in the hearts of police officers. They go about their daily duty, if you will, to keep communities safe."
In the interview, Clarke then attacked President Barack Obama, accusing him of playing "the race game" and "race politics."
*Michael Bell, whose 21-year-old son was shot to death by Kenosha Police in 2004, told WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) that Clarke's statements on police brutality were "delusional." Bell's family was awarded $1 million in damages.
"My son was handcuffed with his hands behind his back, an officer put a gun directly behind his head in front of his mother and sister, and took his life and then bragged about it to his fellow officers," Bell said. "Is that not police brutality?"

See, all these reports of police brutality and videos are just made up. Well that's a relief.
