Former Sheriff David Clarke advises radio listeners on how to get away with killing protesters

Clarke tells his Wisconsin audience to “have a plan” to legally justify shootings and hypes vigilante violence: “You don’t need permission from the police”

DAVID CLARKE (GUEST HOST): The question is when is government going to do something? Inaction is not a plan. You know what happens with inaction? People take the law into their own hands. Government is leaving them no choice. No choice. I don’t advocate for some of the stuff that’s starting to happen, but I am certainly done -- I am through with condemning it. I’m done with that.

I’m just telling people, “Hey, you’re on your own." Think about it, have a plan. Act reasonably. You have to act reasonably. Then you’re going to have to articulate what you did afterwards. But you can’t have government officials and law enforcement executives telling people, “Do not take the law into your own hands." Well, you’re forcing them to!


DAVID CLARKE (GUEST HOST): The majority of these gun purchases are first-time gun owners. And when we leave this up to the individual, it’s not going to end real pretty. But I don’t blame them. Have a plan, think it through, be able to articulate it, and be reasonable. It’s all the law requires. You have the right to defend yourself, you don’t need permission from the police or a sheriff.

Surprised Trump couldn't find a place for him in his Administration.

Not only did this motherfucker allow a guy to die of thirst in his prison, he’s also associated with Bannon’s “Build the Wall” scam.

An evil asshole from head to toe.
