Sheriff Clarke: ‘Assault’ on Policing Hasn’t Been Seen Since 60s

[shikamaru]

Sheriff Clarke has the confidence of the people even after the barrage of outside influence who sought to intentionally undermine and smear this man precisely because he is black and doesn't sing the same tune that the exploiters, masquerading as advocates, want him to sing. He cares not for Democrat or Republican; only for common sense and truth.

Apparently, the divisive rhetoric is more palatable for those who continue buying into the defeatist race-mongering mind-set.

Perhaps you are being informed just how divided things actually are?
Perhaps you are uncomfortable with the truth, thus the creation of this current narrative?
There never was any unity.

Ignoring racism doesn't make it go away. You just get "racism without racists".

Perhaps you prefer divisiveness because you feel some sort of superiority over "Caucasians".

We can "perhaps" all day; what good is it?

The truth is we are all brothers and sisters and our Father in Heaven is our Creator.

The best model for how to combat iniquity was the life of Jesus The Christ. Unfortunately, many who proclaim His Name do the opposite. Obviously, we all fall short, but those of us who believe, desire to continue striving to walk as He did.

Lively debate and disagreements are fine as long as we understand that we must all treat each other as we would wish to be treated.

The OT relates to the comments of a man who has first-hand knowledge on these matters. I found his sentiments to be truthful and honorable without being beholden to politicians, "black leaders", government officials or the hype of the media. In my opinion, he comes off as someone who really cares for and believes in the inherent God-given rights of the people and that he swore and oath to protect their lives and their property from criminals, thugs and thieves, regardless of race.

Sorry if that offends you.

I prefer truth and reality to faux unity that never existed.

I have yet to see this in practice whether current or historical.
In fact, the good book was used to justify slavery and racism. See the Ham myth.

To me, he comes off as almost completely and willfully ignorant of the history, plight, and current ongoings of African-Americans with regard to law enforcement.

I place even less value in it since you've pulled this from Breitbart, a known propagandist of the conservative persuasion.

Ferguson, MO municipal court system and police department are being exposed for the corrupt pieces of garbage that they were.
They were running a petty fiefdom for profit and gain.

Sorry if that offends you.

You make my point. Many people who claim His Name do the opposite of what He preached and how He lived. That does not mean that the "good book" teaches such nonsense; selfish, power hungry and evil people interpret anything in a manner which fits their nefarious intents. Do you believe that everyone who reads The Bible buys into the "Ham myth'?

You impugn a man simply because he disagrees with your viewpoint. He doesn't agree with you so he is "willfully ignorant". I don't believe your view has been established as canon, unless I missed some special announcement. I would bet Sheriff Clarke would be more than capable of backing up his views with first-hand knowledge and a coherent grasp of his people's history. Why do you presume him ignorant of his own history; he seems like a very articulate man who speaks intelligently and eloquently while maintaining an honorable sense of ALL people's rights. The fact that you so harshly dismiss and belittle his views is more telling of you rather than him.

What exactly did I "pull" from "Breitbart"? You may want to direct your vitriol to the original poster for that. I simply linked a youtube video from the CSPOA (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association), a NY Times article (a bastion of conservatism???) and wikipedia. Does one automatically become part of the "conservative persuasion" by claiming to be a Constitutional Sheriff and a Peace Officer? Now it is you who is being willfully ignorant.

Every municipal court system in America is running a business for profit and gain, where's the surprise?

You mean to tell us that there is corruption in government; what a news flash!!!

Do you think that maybe there is corruption among the so-called "exposers" of Ferguson as well?

Nah, the DoJ is completely run by upstanding, honest and righteous people... hello???

The problem might be that the Neo-Gnostics, Satanists and atheists have been given too much leeway. Even "White Supremacy" is a carnalistic trap for unwary souls--looking for salvation in a corruptible robe of flesh makes how much sense? Anytime someone is selling "trust me" on the basis of looking like you, I'd suggest against buying into that.

The radical British liberal philosophies did not underpin the Declaration or the Articles. It seems such were more about undermining. It was radical British liberalism that promoted lifetime chatellization of "Blacks"--not the philosophies of those that signed the Declaration of Independence. To knowledge "white" and "freeborn" were synonymous. Most of the hardcore bitter racism seems to have come *after* 1862 when non-Christian (Neo-Gnostic) paradigms started taking America by the throat.

It might be worth considering the effects of Locke, Calvinism, etc. on Europe.

Here is the full video/interview from a search on youtube; "Breitbart" has nothing to do with this video nor is Sheriff Clarke a mouthpiece for "Breitbart".



How anyone can listen to this man speak and find fault with his sentiments, motives or intents is beyond reason. He is not a "party-liner" of any kind and laughs at the ridiculous notion of some black people calling him out as the standard "Uncle Tom" figure.

He directly states he has the confidence and support of many black people in his community and nationwide. I guess he is either a liar or the rhetoric surrounding the matters he speaks of is misguided and intentionally misleading.

Again, I value this man's opinion and find honor in his actions. If we had more like him, the world would be in better shape.

Death of the County or Lost At Sea
David Merrill has given insight as to what happens when a county is swallowed up by municipalities--Five Burroughs of New York for example. My kurt explanation is along the lines that the residents (or the electorate) are presumed dead. Imagine the logic: how can the dead, die again?



Ever notice that police tend to wear blue or black and sheriffs tend to wear brown or reddish colors? The blue and black is a clue. Red and brown are associated with life, soil, land, blood.
Sheriffs Are Not Police
IMHO its worth noting that sheriffs aren't municipal officers (sheriffs are not "police") and instead tend to be county officers with the county being a subdivision of a state. Clarke as sheriff isn't a municipal policy enforcement officer. Sheriffs aren't "police" but are law enforcement officers, "shire keepers". From observation it has seemed that the municipalist don't like sheriffs and have gone out of the way to put sheriffs "in the corner" because they know what sheriffs stand for and can do. Sheriffs in many jurisdictions have tended AFAIK to be underfunded as a means for liberal, progressive legislatures to control or obstruct them. Where sheriffs are elected and mentioned in state constitutions, they are agents of the People.


Removing Shackles & Blinders
While many "Afro Americans" and others who feel jaded by the US system might have a hard time breaking with entrenched mental habits, the county sheriff can be a powerful ally in defense of rights. Those Ferguson Police are part of the "municipal" or "dead corporate" known as "City of Ferguson". Sheriffs are very much likely aware of this and tend to stay out the municipality mess (perhaps the view might be "its your business if you got yourself entangled in that"--if you chose to be part of a municipality). If you elect to be a municipality-ite, the sheriff will probably step back and presume your relationship with the municipality and the municipality's functions are "functional"--unless you make the contrary known. Consider also, for a home-rule city like St. Louis City, Mo. the Mayor is the go-to for certain things, but the sheriff (a county officer, as opposed to a municipal officer of the City of St. Louis) deals with county matters (the courts and management of the county jail).

AFAIK, sheriffs tend to presume inferior municipal officers are doing their jobs honestly. A sheriff is typically the principal conservator of the peace of a county. For a city, this might tend to be the mayor. A city tends to most always be "in" a county even if its an independent or homerule city--thusly the sheriff would have superior jurisdiction.

"Whites" and "Blacks" might do well to get wise about the powers of both sheriffs and notaries.

Another great interview...



The photo is an unintended addition. A little (no so little) distraction may be needed at this point.

When is the last time anyone saw Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson sponsoring basic training in law for "Afro American" communities? Believe me, time and time again I've found it very sad how many Blacks seek help from the very same folks who are out to put a foot on their necks. Blaming just wastes time--get wisdom.

There is also the "private attorney general" option.
