Outspoken Milwaukee Sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr. blasted Baltimore rioters and the left-wing agenda he says created the powder keg that blew up into violence.
On Fox News’ “Your World with Neil Cavuto,” Clarke told the host that liberal policies, not the death of accused drug dealer Freddie Gray, are responsible for the violence in the city.
“Like Baltimore, like Ferguson, like New York and many other areas where failed liberal government policies have led to high unemployment, chronic poverty, failing schools,” Clarke said. “This is what besets the Baltimore area. Ninety percent of the homicide victims in the Baltimore area are black as are ninety percent of the suspects. That’s a bigger problem than Freddie Gray.”
He added that the rioters, under any other circumstance, wouldn’t care about Freddie Gray’s life.
“These individuals that are rioting and lotting right now and throwing rocks and bottles do not know Freddie Gray, do not care about Freddie Gray,” he said. “If they were in a nightclub in Baltimore [they] would shoot and kill him for bumping into them on the dance floor.”
Outrage! Judge hammers white victims of armed home invasion for racism, lets criminal go free.
Clarke echoed those sentiments Tuesday on Twitter.
“I am tired of this mealy-mouth crap from politicians. They cause the conditions for a permanent underclass in America,” he tweeted before sending out another tweet moments later. “Why are we surprised at this sub-human behavior on display in American ghettos? Lib policies created the conditions.”
His statements were mostly supported in the Twitterverse.

@RonSantoFan @Txwench Time to turn the police loose to knock some heads together. Baltimore Police commanders are playing patty cake.

@thehill @BlacksFund He should heed his own advice and take control of the city.

@RedNationRising LMAO. He was caught fully unprepared. He DID tolerate it with a pathetic display of appeasing thuggery.

@dmm10310 @ImpeachDeBlasio @SheriffClarke It is so good to hear the voice of reason among all this insanity.

@blinachka @SheriffClarke The rioters and protestors will continue to vote for the same Democrats that will keep them in their ghettos.

Of course there were some who disagreed.
@SheriffClarke @noble150 I'm not sure having massively political, partisan, biased, police chiefs helps community relations

@SheriffClarke I'm just staggered that US sheriffs have such little professionalism. Aren't you supposed to be neutral?
