During a February visit to Milwaukee by President Barack Obama, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke came under fire after he scaled back efforts to provide protection to President Obama, at the time citing budget cuts as the reason for the scaled back efforts to protect the president.
However, just six short months later it appears Sheriff Clarke has fully resolved his agency’s budget problems and has now started providing services in Waukesha County despite the fact that he runs the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department.
Here’s some photos (taken by our own Lisa Mux) of Sheriff Clarke’s commitment to the safety of Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and the diverse crowd of attendees at their recent event at the Waukesha County Expo Center.
Does anyone want to take bets on whether Sheriff Clarke’s “budget issues” will resurface the next time President Obama or some other Democratic dignitary comes to town?
Anyone know who’s on the hook for Clarke’s pathetic move? Is it Waukesha Co., who would be responsible for extra aid, or is it Milwaukee County, because it wasn’t asked for? And given that it was a Sunday, I’m betting it was a nice extra bump in hourly pay to boot.
And Clark got caught lying about the reason, as he claimed Secret Service was sufficient for Obama’s visit, but Secret Service is also giving Romney/Ryan protection, so that excuse is dead false.
The fact that 620 TMJ keeps propping this showboating clown up is another reason their license has to be pulled for failing to broadcast in the public interest.
Has anyone thought to give Sheriff David Clarke a mental “aptitude” examination? Serious question here. Anyone who dares question his authority or use of tax payer dollars is belittled, called names and has their dignity dressed down. The Sheriff not only has the responsibility of protecting the tax paying citizens of Milwaukee County, but it is his duty to conduct himself with class and respect.
Why not defend his actions, like the fact he sent protection for a rally for public officials in Waukesha and not for President Obama – in a respectful way.
Are those who have the power to call him on the carpet, hold him responsible, not only for his actions, but for his words. If anyone called Sheriff Clarke the “n” word, there would be a huge price to pay, but he can call a county supervisor “pudgy” – and nobody calls him on it?
I know for a fact, Clarke is mentally and emotionally abusive to those who work with him and have dealt with him personally. I know a woman who was had a personal relationship with him and said he was the most abusive man she’s ever known, and this woman is CREDIBLE.
Again, call for a mental evaluation, if the big bad cowboy has nothing to hide, he’ll take it and at least we’ll have some answers either way, into what appears to be a mentally unstable “man.”
