Sheriff Supporting Trump Says It’s Time To Bring Out ‘Pitchforks And Torches’

[Missn-Hitch]

Source: Huffington Post

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a vocal backer Donald Trump, is urging Americans to take up pitchforks and torches, as the GOP nominee claims that the presidential election is rigged against him.

Clarke, who has called the Occupy and Black Lives Matter protests “anarchy,” made the call to arms on Twitter Saturday and complained about branches of government and media of being corrupt.

Oh yes. Things are going to get a little hairy after the election.

[meadowlark5]

1. Seems to me he should lose his job for that

A "peace officer" is calling for violence. Seems counter to what the police force is supposed to be.

I hope he gets fired.

[cstanleytech]

3. I agree, assuming he actually was the one that posted it. nt

[forgotmylogin]

18. Isn't that the type of behavior law enforcement is supposed to prevent?

And will have to clean up afterwards?

[meadowlark5]

21. And he better make sure he keeps his police uniform on his body at all times

Because being a black man, he could very well be the recipient of torches and pitch forks if the lunatics take to the streets lashing out at anyone who isn't like them.

[Glamrock]

26. Unless I'm mistaken...

Sheriff's are elected.

[mysuzuki2]

43. And he is usually elected by a wide margin

[MBS]

41. yes indeed.

This is - and he is - outrageous. And dangerous.

[Jon King]

2. Cartoon character

That guy must be acting out a part, no one is that much of a tool. He literally needs an MMA fighter to bully beat down him. Guys with that much fake macho are a joke.

[bucolic_frolic]

4. I sure hope these are isolated loonies

with no real pockets of support. That would remind me of

the Albigensian (or Cathar) Crusade which was a bloody mess
and took 2 decades to finish. Where did our tolerant society go?

5. Careful what ya wish for Davey; sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. He blew a dog whistle for "Civil War 2.0" / CWII / CW2. Despicable. . . . nt

[olddad56]

7. and calling for people to take to the streets with pitchforks and torches is not anarchy?

Given that this person is a public employee and his job is to protect people against such acts, it is time for Milwaukee County to find a sheriff that will pledge to uphold the law, not disregard it and abuse his position.

[Third Doctor]

8. He needs to fired over this

[Chakab]

9. This is actually one of the least offensive comments that he's

made in the past two years.

[ailsagirl]

19. Oh, so he's done it before, only worse?? I didn't know

yikes-- he's one scary looking SOB

Wonder why he's still in office

[dembotoz]

22. he runs as a dem and manages to beat whomever in the primary

white burbs love the guy....it is a county position so just not the city.

so he carries enuf city votes plus a solid gop crossover and instant sheriff .
the gop does not really run any opposition cause davey is their guy

he comes across as a big time law guy but in reality the county mounties only have jurisdiction over the freeways, the parks, and the jail.

[riversedge]

24. He does little work for his salary--& has lots of time to be a regular on Fox news.

[YOHABLO]

10. These are the very people who have never visited another country, nor do they have a passport.

[awoke_in_2003]

30. Off topic

but after all these years, it finally dawned on me what your username means.

[bench scientist]

11. sedition and it is a Federal crime per 18 U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government :

12. ‘Pitchforks And Torches’ - Is he looking for Frankenstein's monster or a black man to lynch?

‘Pitchforks And Torches’ - Is he looking for Frankenstein's monster or a black man to lynch?

One is fiction. One is not.

[Missn-Hitch]

14. LOL! Imagine that is what happens. He would be taken out by the very same people

he aligns himself with.

I always wonder why any minority would be sitting behind the Orange Menace at one of his rallies. It boggles the effing mind, I tells ya.

Cheers.

[Initech]

13. Is this guy Homer Simpson?

[Roy Rolling]

15. Too stupid to see the irony

A sheriff calling for pitchforks and torches to oppose "anarchy".

[WhiteHat]

16. Right. As if pitchforks were these mere peasants' most effective tools of mayhem today

Gosh, Mr. Clarke, we're all heavily armed now, we only need the slightest clue. Where can we point our weapons without being labeled criminals?

What do you suggest?



Clarke is such a (capital-A) Asshole.

[VMA131Marine]

17. He was the Constitutional Sheriffs Association "Sheriff of the Year" 2013

Needless to say the CSPOA supports anything but the Constitution.

[shadowmayor]

20. 2 outta 3

He forgot the sheets! He forgot the sheets!

[riversedge]

23. Just reading the title I knew it was Clarke.

[workinclasszero]

25. This is sedition and right wing terror

I expect and demand that the ATF, FBI, Homeland Security and local law enforcement investigate, shutdown and imprison these dangerous traitors before they can maim or kill innocent Americans citizens.

[heaven05]

31. I agree

one thing I'd like to ask these type of iddiots is: if you're laying out in the strrets watering the tree of liberty, do you really think your fuhrer will give a damn about you. He'll be in his golden palace groping someone, you will have died for a lost cause and a worthless human being.....I truly hope they aren't that stupid to go to the "pitchforks and torches".

[roamer65]

37. Not meaning to be mean...but u mean sedition.

Sedation is something desirable right now until the campaigns are over.

Hmmm...I wonder why Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" is playing in my mind right now.

[workinclasszero]

39. OMG sorry and thanks for the correction!

Yes I need all the sedation I can get obviously! :p

[Buckeye_Democrat]

27. Holy crap! He still has a job?!

No wonder some African Americans protested around Milwaukee after a recent shooting!

I don't like to see anyone assaulted just because of their skin color, but that's some outrageous commentary that would inflame people! Not to mention any abuses from police that happen there, which seems probable if that idiot is a working sheriff!



I'm logging off for awhile to relax.

[heaven05]

28. I really have a hard time

understanding AA supporting a d.trump. Still a free country and all that....but still boggles my mind. All it takes is principle and ethics to reject someone like his candidate.

[world wide wally]

29. Such a glowing example of American democracy in action

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy.
I don't know. That song just popped into my head

[Sunlei]

32. sounds like one of those members of that gang of sheriffs who have something to do with bundy crap

The ones who want to take away OUR public lands and turn it over to private corps.

[VMA131Marine]

33. That would be the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association.

And you would be correct

[Sunlei]

35. That's the guys! They sound like they're calling for domestic terrorism and violence. I wish Feds w

would arrest them.

[keithbvadu2]

38. "that gang of sheriffs" would find a red dot painting their chest from

"that gang of sheriffs" would find a red dot painting their chest from a Bundy gang sniper rifle if they happen to enforce the 'wrong' laws.

They actually think they are part of the Bundy movement?

They are just useful idiots.

[Wibly]

34. Grounds for firing

A law enforcement officer advocating for vigilante violence! Isn't that grounds for dismissal?

[Jopin Klobe]

36. One word ...

... SEDITION ...

[rtracey]

40. and I say

then it would be time to bring out the national guard, Secret Service, arrest Trump for inciting riots...etc.

[Kennah]

42. Given the "success" of the Bundy Militia in Malheur, I ain't worried (n/t)
