David Clarke the DINOSAUR**

Last week I asked why Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke won’t debate his opponent in the Democratic primary for the office currently held by Clarke, and while I don’t know all the reasons why Clarke is avoiding debating Chris Moews, I’m betting it might be because Clarke, a “Democrat,” has been really really busy [...]

Why won’t Clarke debate his opponent?

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who’s facing a tough primary challenge from Milwaukee Police Detective Chris Moews, seems to be avoiding two public debates scheduled for the two candidates, as noted by Moews in a recent press release: Noting that Sheriff David Clarke had not confirmed his attendance at two already-scheduled debates, Sheriff candidate [...]

Sheriff David Clarke finally catches a drunk driver!

Looks like Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke can finally truthfully claim he finally caught a drunk driver in his official capacity as Sheriff, seeing as how the last time he came face to face with a drunk driver Clarke actually tried to help the drunk driver get back onto the freeway, despite the open [...]

It’s time to send Sheriff Clarke packing!

Reason number 1,987,221 why Milwaukee County voters need to send Sheriff David Clarke packing this year… On the day after the deadly accident at O’Donnell Park’s parking garage, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A.

Sheriff Clarke to have a Democratic challenger? Hallelujah!

As first reported by xoff at Uppity Wisconsin, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a “Democrat,” will face a primary challenge from Chris Moews, who from everything I’ve heard is an honest to goodness real Democrat, not a Republican masquerading as a Democrat in order to win an election.

Moews has quite an impressive background, [...]

Clarke to release inmates, reduce freeway patrols, jeopardize public safety

In order to close a $5 million hole in his department’s budget, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke announced yesterday he plans release 120 inmates from the County Jail and reduce freeway patrols, two ideas which will no doubt enrage “law and order” conservatives all across southeastern Wisconsin. After all, neither idea bodes well for [...]

David Clarke: asleep at the DNA wheel

Remember when the state’s DNA backlog first came to light?

At the time, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said of the situation, “This isn’t a mistake, this is an abomination. Let’s go ask the victims of unsolved sexual assaults or other crimes if they feel anybody needs to be held accountable.” Sheriff Clarke’s [...]

Appeals court rules against Clarke

According to a unanimous ruling form a federal appeals court, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke was wrong when he forced his deputies to listen to a Christian-themed presentation during roll call in 2006. The appeals court ruled that in doing so, Clarke violated the constitutional separation of church and state. According to the Milwaukee [...]

David Clarke for governor?

Yeah, right.

Let’s not forget David Clarke is the same guy who ran an epic failure of a mayoral campaign in 2004, and he’s done nothing since then to prove a gubernatorial campaign would be anything but another epic failure.

Will Clarke eat crow over his department’s DNA failures?

Remember when the state’s DNA backlog first came to light?

At the time, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said of the situation, “This isn’t a mistake, this is an abomination. Let’s go ask the victims of unsolved sexual assaults or other crimes if they feel anybody needs to be held accountable.” I can’t help [...]
