Milwaukee County sheriff, David Clarke, himself an African-American, ripped Attorney General Eric Holder for his intentions to bring a lawsuit against the Ferguson police department for racial discrimination in the shooting case of Michael Brown, saying it was purely an “abuse of power.”
“Eric Holder … [is] still going to try to extract his pound of flesh,” Clarke explained.
“You know, we can’t get this guy out the door soon enough.”
Holder plans to sue the Ferguson police department in what Clarke claims has all the markings of a political witch hunt.
A federal grand jury cleared officer Darren Wilson in the shooting, having been presented with substantial evidence that the officer acted in self-defense against Brown.
Clarke has been a vocal critic of Holder’s racial politics – something that should never come into play for the head of the Justice Department, but is actually what fuels a majority of his decisions.
“The incendiary rhetoric used by Eric Holder created the pathway for a false narrative that then became the rallying cry for cop-haters across America,” Clarke said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last month.
“It sparked unjustified hatred towards America’s law enforcement agencies and its officers.”
Take a look at Clarke’s comments…
Sheriff Clarke recognizes that the Attorney General does not represent the best interests of Americaa, he only represents the African-American community, no matter the case or evidence presented.
Do you agree with Sheriff Clarke? Is Eric Holder once again abusing his power?
