Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Apologizes to Senator for Testimony of Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn

March 6, 2013

This is interesting and the latest evidence that "all the police" (Senator Feinstein) do NOT support the gun control initiatives that are sweeping across our nation. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke sent a letter to Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina APOLOGIZING for the embarrassing, agenda driven, pro-gun control testimony of Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn.

It's been clear that police chiefs of major, (Democrat controlled) urban cities, APPOINTED by their (Democrat) mayors, are in support of gun control. It's been brushed aside by our politicians and media that ELECTED sheriffs across the nation are NOT in favor of these gun control proposals. This is the first "blue on blue" that I've seen on the issue which makes it doubly interesting and pertinent to the debate.

Advice of Sheriff David Clarke: http://www.nbc26.com/news/local/188752311.html

Controversial statement by Chief Edward Flynn, similar to that of Chicago Police Chief (that I've already posted about): http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/ed-flynns-petty-tyranny_n_2778504.html

I Google'd for this story and found many hits. Oddly, NONE of them were from CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS or any major newspapers outside of Milwaukee.

Ever wonder why police chiefs from big, crime ridden cities are always chosen to testify

More on the "blue on blue" and, as shown here, "blue on mayor" conflict.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who made headlines when he apologized for the anti-gun statements of Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn and also published a public service announcement (PSA) suggesting that people arm themselves in order to ensure their own safety until police arrive, was recently awarded as "Constitutional Sheriff of the Year". He apparently has another PSA coming - in resistance to political pressure trying to keep him from producing similar PSAs.

Congratulations, Sheriff Clarke. Well done.
