'Make them taste their own blood': Sheriff David Clarke sends graphic tweet slamming press

Source: Business Insider

Former Milwaukee county sheriff David A. Clarke, Jr. tweeted out a graphic post on Saturday unleashing on a frequent target: the news media.

The tweet was one of many that Clarke sent bashing the press after an FBI affidavit that was unsealed on Thursday alleged that he used his official position as sheriff to detain a fellow passenger on an airplane.

"BREAKING NEWS! When LYING LIB MEDIA makes up FAKE NEWS to smear me, the ANTIDOTE is go right at them," Clarke wrote. "Punch them in the nose & MAKE THEM TASTE THEIR OWN BLOOD. Nothing gets a bully like LYING LIB MEDIA’S attention better than to give them a taste of their own blood #neverbackdown."


He also attached a doctored photo to the tweet depicting President Donald Trump's face superimposed on that of a wrestler, who was holding another wrestler labeled "CNN," while a smiling and triumphant Clarke was shown kicking "CNN" in the face. The photo was reminiscent of a doctored video Trump shared of him body slamming CNN in July.

I'm just mainly really glad this really bad egg is no longer a sheriff.

Talk about a nanny state.

On a lighter note - Happy New Year, Dalton. Here's hoping 2018 is newsworthy - for the right reasons.

"Sheriff" Clarke is going to be tasting plenty of it if the prosecution in the airport thuggery case gets a conviction. Ex-cops don't do so well in General Population, David.

Thousands of years of history shows this doesn't end well for tyrants and oppressors. The Sheriff Stolen Valor would do well to simply keep his fool mouth shut, slink off into the safety and obscurity of old age, and pray that Fate and Justice both pass him by. Fugitive Nazi officers didn't survive after the war by sending tweets and appearing on TV to whine about fake news. If this all falls apart, he's going to find that all his bluster and fake medals won't protect him from a court of law or an angry mob, depending on HOW this all falls apart. The force of history is with Fate, but Justice may show him and his ilk more mercy.

That at this point, he would be wise to keep a very low profile, but being an arrogant self-centered asshole, he has to stoke the fire and draw more attention to himself.

Sheriff David Clarke is just a pussy with a big mouth..... Find me, you loud mouth piece of shit, and see how far your fat out of shape ass can go when facing a true veteran of four fucking wars!!!! This fake sheriff is another anti-American that when his leader faces treason charges will defend him all the way to the grave!!!!!!

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

― Carl Sagan

The quote is just for us...... I know that most of the republican charlatans don't even know who Carl Sagan was.

footage of the Nuremberg Trials, was how arrogant and defiant many of the defendants were throughout the proceedings, still defending their leader and the Nazi party. That is what Clark reminds me of, he'd make a very good Nazi. His arrogance will hang him.

No badge. He can't just shoot someone kicking his ass, and there aren't deputies under order to help him kick someone else's.
Fake tough guy forgetting that only thing he had to make him tough was that badge!
