Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a proud Trump supporter ...named PBA’s person of the year"

Source: New York Daily News

(note: full article title is "Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, a proud Trump supporter and avid Black Lives Matter basher, named PBA’s person of the year"

The Police Benevolent Association has named Clarke its person of the year — drawing fire from civil rights groups and other critics.

“I think of Mr. Clarke the same way I regard Bull Connor, the same kind of law enforcement officer who would sick fire hoses and dogs on elderly women,” said Kirsten John Foy, northeast regional director for the National Action Network.

“I think he has a disregard for people of color. He has allowed the power that comes with the badge or the gun to cloud his true mission or perspective. “

...

PBA President Pat Lynch offered a vastly different take on Clarke, an unabashed Donald Trump supporter who has become a hero to the right for taking on black activists.

Clarke is a fascist piece of shit who loves Donald Trump.

I support unions, and I appreciate the work cops do.

But I fucking hate cop unions, whose main purpose is to support the brutalization of the citizens police are supposed to serve.

Oh, and Patty Lynch is human excrement with feet.

This jerk is speaking in my town for the annual right wing constitution week bullshit. Lots of flags and Obama bashing. I usually stay away, but this year I think I'll picket the sheriff's speech with a Black Lives Matter sign.

President, Steve Loomis, was prominently seated right behind tRump at a recent rally in Akron, Ohio. Based on his asinine comments defending all of the deadly force shootings/murders, such as Tamir Rice, by many of his incompetent members. I always figured that he was a Reich Wing POS and this just reinforced it!
