Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, has a suggestion for those protesting against police under the slogan black l***s m****r.
If they are truly concerned about black lives, they might want to consider moving their protests to the front of a******n clinics, where black babies are being k**led daily with medical precision by men and women in clean white coats.
The sheriff, who is black, appeared in a CNN interview with Poppy Harlow Dec. 26 and said he did not think the protesters complaints against police had any merit. However, he said he would be willing to discuss the issue of police brutality if someone were to provide hard data stripped of the emotion showing that there is a problem.
Then lets sit down and have an objective discussion, he said.
In 2012 and 2013, he said, 80 percent of the murder victims in Milwaukee were black and 70 percent of those charged with their k*****gs were black.
Yet, Harlow cited a recent CNN poll that shows 42 percent of non-w****s in the U.S. believe police are prejudiced against b****s.
Clarke said there are a lot of lies and myths spread about police by those with political agendas.
Since 1999, police use of deadly force against black males is down 75 percent, Clarke said.
In 2011 and 2012, 386 white people were k**led by police officers, while 140 black people were k**led by police during that same period.
So Im just saying lets put the data out there, and lets have an objective discussion, minus the emotion and the minus the rhetoric.
Clarke said it is police who are in the trenches every day trying to stop b****s from k*****g each other.
Harlow asked Clarke about a controversial tweet he sent to New York Times reporter Mitch Smith suggesting that the protesters really arent all that concerned about black lives.
If only these faux protestors were asked by media about all the black-on-black k*****g or black babies aborted in US every year, Clarke tweeted to Smith.
Did you say that in a tweet? Barlow asked?
Yes I did, Clarke said. When I hear these things that black l***s m****r, the only people who really believe that statement are American police officers who go into American ghettos every day to keep people from k*****g each other. All right, so, yes I did say that and I meant it. Look, the a******ns? If black lives, if they really mattered, thats where the outrage would be. Thats where wed see protests.
Praise from a black pastor
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, the founder of Los Angeles-based Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny, or BOND, applauded the Milwaukee sheriffs blunt statements.
Peterson hosts a radio show, pastors a church and oversees a private school while also ministering to black people in prison and juvenile detention centers. He also writes an exclusive column for WND every week.
Hes 100 percent correct, Peterson said. If black l***s m****r, why is it that they are not shutting down some of these clinics, if not all of them?
Peterson said Planned Parenthood-supported a******n clinics target black families and have for many years.
Over 70 percent of their clinics are in inner cities, he said. So if black l***s m****r, why dont they stop this insane a******n thats happening every day?
Out of all the a******ns in the United States, 36 percent are performed on black women, according to LifeNews.com, even though b****s only make up about 12 percent of the U.S. population.
Peterson said 1,300 black babies are aborted every day.
Sheriff: Shame on Obama, de Blasio, Holder
Clarke said he did not blame Obama, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio or Attorney General Eric Holder directly for the execution-style k*****g of two New York city police officers on Dec. 20.
But whats going on in New York right now and many other cities, here in Milwaukee as well, is this unjustified hatred toward the police, he said in the CNN interview. And that pathway was created recently by some very powerful people in the United States who have made some very inflammatory comments about our American police officers, that being Mayor de Blasio, that being President Obama and that being Eric Holder.
They created that pathway for purely political purposes, and I think thats what the shame is here.
Many officers turned their backs on the mayor during the Dec. 27 funeral, believing he has not supported them.
These individuals (Obama, de Blasio and Holder) have had several chances to come out of the gate and say something responsible, and say something to calm things down, Clarke told Harlow. Id like to hear from Mayor de Blasio now because I think theres a way forward for him.
But the first thing he needs to do is disavow any association with the race hustler Al Sharpton.
Clarke called Sharpton a vulgar human being.
He is d******e, and he spews h**e, he said.
I think that would be a huge first step for the mayor and would be a good-faith gesture toward the police department, Clarke continued. If it werent for the NYPD police officers, that city would collapse into utter chaos, and he knows that, but again politics trumped reasonableness for the mayor and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Peterson also echoes Clarkes concern that, if black l***s m****r, why are the protesters not protesting to stop the black-on-black crime?
These black youths are k*****g each other like nobodys business and theres no outcry, not one iota about it, Peterson said.
Peterson goes one step further.
If black l***s m****r, why are they not encouraging young black couples to get married before they have children? he asked. These kids are growing up and they have only one parent and no one to guide them and correct them as they grow up. So if black life mattered, Im trying to figure out who it matters to, because it certainly doesnt seem to be important to the protesters, to the black politicians like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, the Urban League, the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP and many black preachers. It doesnt seem to matter to them about black-on-black violence, a******n and the number of out-of-wedlock births.
Over the span of one generation, the a******n industry has turned a trick on black families, said Peterson, who has led many pro-life protests, including one recently at Mississippis last remaining a******n clinic in Jackson. In that one Mississippi clinic, 63 percent of all a******ns performed are on black women, according to LifeNews.
When I was growing up in Alabama, a******n was unheard of, said Peterson, 65, but now black women lead the way in the number of a******ns being performed.
In Planned Parenthoods newly released fiscal 2014 annual report, the group brags that its affiliated clinics performed 327,653 a******n procedures. At least one-third of those were performed on black women.
Peterson said the key to reversing this genocide lies within individual black people, who must begin to place a higher value on life in all its forms.
Its because black life doesnt matter and b***k A******ns need to get over their blackness and return to character building, he said. Most b****s are suffering due to lack of moral character, and that is not a race issue. They need to return to God and build character out of the love of what is right, not out of color.
They have to get over their blackness, and that way you will be able to judge people based on character, not color.
He said high moral character would require you to get married, raise your own child, and not depend on the government or any other person to lead you as an adult. That is the problem.
Peterson said he does a lot of work with kids in public schools and juvenile detention centers.
And its getting worse because people are not getting over their color to build character, he said. These people need a father and a mother guiding them and protecting them and teaching them.
So Petersons advice to the younger Clarke is, keep speaking t***h to power.
If I were advising him, Id say just keep doing exactly what hes doing: Tell the t***h, tell the t***h, tell the t***h, which I know hes going to do anyway, Peterson said. And never-mind the name calling, and dont allow the intimidation to stop the t***h from getting out. I would just encourage him to stand strong and dont give in to these tactics, because hes absolutely right, 100 percent right, in what hes saying.
