http://freakoutnation.com/2016/03/foxs-sheriff-clarke-advice-to-trump-supporters-hit-first-and-hit-hard-video/Fox regular, Sheriff David Clarke, of Milwaukee, inserted himself into Trump protests in Arizona and New York, urging, "reasonable force by law enforcement" and also "law-abiding citizens standing up for their Constitutional right. ... I'm not encouraging them to start the fight but I'm one of those that comes from the school of if a fight is inevitable, hit first and hit hard."
This is at least the third time this week we have caught Clarke weighing in on Fox News about Trump protests outside his jurisdiction and with inflammatory language that sounds like someone looking for violence, not trying to keep the peace. On March 12, Clarke said the protest in Chicago should be "crushed" and called the protesters "goons" who "need to be silenced." Two days later, Clarke was on Hannity, urging Donald Trump not to try to "ramp down" emotions but to keep his supporters at "a fever pitch."
This morning, Fox & Friends host Tucker Carlson discussed today's protests by saying Clarke has some special knowledge about these protesters more than a thousand miles away from Milwaukee. Carlson let us know we should hate them right in his introduction when he described them as "protesters in favor of illegal immigration" and, according to Clarke, are "not who you think they are."
Clarke got right into his inflammatory, partisan hate mongering. It was quite a spiel from someone who is supposed to serve and protect all people regardless of their beliefs.

Just having a "D" after one's name does not mean one supports the ideals of the Democratic Party.
