Sheriff Clarke Bartends while Wearing Gun
In a brazen disregard for our laws and the rules of his own department, Sheriff David Clarke was packing heat while serving beer recently at the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce picnic.
Rather than leave his sidearm in his car or at home as would be in keeping with department policy, he apparently decided it would make more of a statement if he was wearing a gun.
Watchdog Milwaukee has learned that there is an apparent blackout of all stories that would be critical of Sheriff David Clarke at the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Multiple tips have come into their offices and they have ignored them. A tip so blazingly important as this should not have been ignored, yet they have chosen to not publish these key news stories.
In the coming days, Watchdog Milwaukee will be investigating and reporting those stories which the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel as well as the mainstream media has chosen to bury. We believe it is the right of the public, not just the powerful, to have information that is critical to making a decision. We hope our 6000-7000 per day readers will pass along the links to these stories to people they know.

I wonder if he’ll suspend himself pending termination for violating Department policy. Oh, that’s right, rules and regulations are meant for everyone else, not the self-proclaimed “Chief Law Enforcement Officer of Milwaukee County”. Remember his little Caesar Lira song and dance act when he waltzed into the secure perimeter of the jail with his (rarely worn) sidearm on? The way this egomaniac thumbs his nose at the law, the courts and even his own policies is appalling, and so is the mainstream media’s choice not to report the arrogant fool’s behavior. But perhaps I’m being too harsh, maybe he had a reason to go to a picnic strapped. Maybe King David received some more of those unspecified threats against his person that he used as justification for having deputies house-sitting for him last year. Better call the FBI and have them start the investigation.
Of course maybe he was enforceing the Imigriant Laws proposed by Bush. You never know when you come across an illegal. David Clarke Action Hero (Night of dinner at the Wicked Hop interupted by drunk driver) is just living up to his image, idiot.
It makes me wonder if Dave was serving this driver, while tending bar with his gun. Doesn’t Wisconsin have a culpability law for bartenders?
Ops case for KING DAVID. Fat chance that will happen. Just as I said before when King David called 911 and verbally abused the operator. Did any thing ever happen from that? NO……… King David is above the law…… Do you really think that this guy would even cooperate with an investigation on himself. Even if he did his only comment would be. NO COMMENT. Or call Kim Brookes she knows everything. Or he was just protecting the beer from illeagal imigriants. Or he was personnaly checking all the kegs to make sure no illeagal imigriants were not smuggled in. Or he was checking green cards while severing beer. Or looking for the 10 most wanted that would show up to drink with him. Or maybe looking for the next so called Mrs Clarke. Who knows what this guy is up to. Be he not doing his job as sheriff of Milwaukee County. This is just a big game to him. Hey King David I saw Burger KING was looking for some new KINGS. You got some practice in serving drinks now. You can work the soda machine in the drive thur. Welcome to Burger King my name is King David how my I take your order. But sorry Dave no guns allowed.

Remember the ancient Greek theater tradition of hubris? When mortals believed themselves above the gods, this hubris lead to their downfall. With a little luck, Clarke’s hubris will finally break through the veneer of civility he has maintained for these past years since appointed and expose the true man underneath–who is NOT someone any of us should want to see in office!!!!
