Video: Sheriff Clarke Blames President for "War on Police"
"I am too pissed off tonight to be diplomatic with what’s going on and I’m not going to stick my head in the sand about it," Clarke said. "I said last December war had been declared on the American police officer led by some high profile people, one coming out of the White House, and one coming out of the United States Department of Justice. And it’s open season right now. No doubt about it."
On Saturday night’s broadcast of “Justice with Judge Jeanine,” Milwaukee County, Wis., Sheriff David Clarke reacted to the killing of Harris County, Texas, deputy Darren Goforth, pinning the blame on President Barack Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder.
According to Clarke, their rhetoric has caused an "open season" on police officers, Breitbart.com reports.
"I am too pissed off tonight to be diplomatic with what’s going on and I’m not going to stick my head in the sand about it," Clarke said. "I said last December war had been declared on the American police officer led by some high-profile people, one coming out of the White House, and one coming out of the United States Department of Justice. And it’s open season right now. No doubt about it."
