Here’s a photo for you: As noted in the caption, on the left is Richard Mack, the founder of the Constitutional Sheriff’s and Peace Officers Association, which in 2013 honored Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (pictured on the right) as its Sheriff of the Year. Now here’s another photo: As…

On Tuesday, the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published a scathing (and that’s probably an understatement) editorial about Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke.
