Sheriff David Clarke: Residents should arm themselves with guns, 911 not best option

[ShooterInPA1]

In his latest radio spot, Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. tells residents personal safety isn't a spectator sport anymore, and "I need you in the game."

"With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option," Clarke intones.

"You could beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back."

Clarke urges listeners to take a firearm safety course and handle a firearm "so you can defend yourself until we get there."

"You have a duty to protect yourself and your family. We're partners now. Can I count on you?"

Wow.....

It seems sheriffs are really pulling as "peace officers" not just law Enforcement Officers. Glad it seems like these elected officials are on the side of civies.

I would like to hear that from the sheriff in my area but I doubt it.

My god, someone gets it and lets people know. Take a course. Wish there were more Sheriffs like this one out there. If everyone was armed, the scum would have to think before breaking into someones house.
