Sheriff Clarke Schools Rahmbo

By Daniel John Sobieski

Chicago Mayor and former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is famous for saying that a crisis is a terrible thing to waste
since it allows you to do things you might not be able to get done except for the emotions of the moment spurring calls to action.

Chicago’s bloody Memorial Day weekend, which saw a dozen people killed, including a four year old girl, certainly proved no
exception to Rahm’s Rule as he called for, wait for it, stricter gun control as he spoke at a luncheon honoring police officers for
valor and service. “It’s not just about how many police you have, it’s about the quantity of guns that are on the street so we actually
have gun laws that back up the men and women we just recognized,” Emanuel said.

This delusional sentiment warning that otherwise inanimate objects are the problem was echoed by White House Press Secretary
Josh Earnest after a bloody holiday weekend in Baltimore saw 29 shot and nine killed:

When asked about the violence yesterday, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest suggested more gun control
was one of the solutions.

“Obviously there’s some common sense things we could do - certainly passage of some gun safety laws in Congress
that could keep guns out of the hands of criminals would be one thing that we could do to try to limit the violence,”
Earnest said.

In response to this liberal talking point, which ignores the fact that Democratic bastions like Chicago and Maryland have the
strictest gun control laws in the nation, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke went on Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs to
say that Rahmbo, a nicknamed earned for his White House ruthlessness, was shooting blanks in suggesting the problem was guns
and not the criminals who use them:

Sheriff Clarke describes Emanuel as “dead wrong,” observing that “he must have gone to the same school that
‘president’ Barack Obama did on how to run a law enforcement agency. This is what happens when you have
community organizers and academic elites and others who don’t know a thing about policing in the American ghetto
start to dabble in police science.”

He says the cities experiencing these heightened levels of violence “might as well get used to it because this is what
you’re going to have as long as you’re going to try to turn cops into social workers and you’re going to try to get
them to emphasize de-escalation and more dialogue instead of going on the offensive to go after some very
dangerous individuals.”

Indeed as Investor’s Business Daily noted in 2013, the problem in Chicago has historically not been gun violence, but gang
violence:

The fact is that up to 80% of Chicago's murders and shootings are gang related, according to police.
By one estimate, the city has 68,000 gang members, four times the number of cops. A police audit last spring
identified 59 gangs and 625 factions - mostly on the south and west sides - none of which is going to submit to
things like universal background checks.

In 2014, city fathers were crowing about a drop in the crime rate over the prior year, but did not bother to acknowledge its
connection to Illinois being the last state in the nation to allow some form of concealed carry:

Chicago Police Superintendent Gerry McCarthy, at a recent city council hearing, reported the good news of less
crime. He credited better police work, but there's another factor McCarthy left unstated - the increase in the number
of pistol-packing permits that let citizens defend themselves, their families and their neighbors. The law has left
criminals uncertain of who might be able to shoot back.

"It isn't any coincidence that crime rates started to go down when concealed carry was permitted," Richard Pearson,
executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, said in the Washington Times.

"Just the idea that criminals don't know who is armed and who isn't has a deterrent effect. The police department
hasn't changed a single tactic - they haven't announced a shift in policy - and you have these incredible numbers."

The answer to crime, largely gang crime, would seem not to be taking guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, or putting what
liberals call “sensible restrictions” on their uses. And it certainly doesn’t reside, according to Sheriff Clarke, in sensitivity training
for police or turning them into community organizers. As we have seen in Baltimore, when police are made the bad guys, crime
soars:

Clarke says “It’s starting to take its toll on the American police officer, the psyche of the American police officer;
self-initiated policing is going to go down, proactive policing is going to go down in many of these areas and cops
are just going to resort to answering calls for service. That’s what they’re paid to do, that’s what they’re expected to
do.”

He describes the current attitude of police as “Why should they risk their life or end up on some criminal indictment
because this whole thing has been politicized?” He points out how the Democrat method of dealing with the problem
is to “deflect away from the behavior of many young black males in the American ghetto and instead pile on the law
enforcement officer.” He points out that “In the end the loser in all of this are the good law-abiding black people that
live in these ghettos and there are a lot of them.”

The root cause of violence in our cities is not bad white cops or guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens and law-enforcing police.
It is the decay bred by liberal governance and the excuses made by liberals for the consequences of their policies. Scapegoating
white cops and gun owners is not the solution.

Obviously there’s some common sense things we could do - certainly passage of some gun safety laws in Congress that could keep guns out of the hands of criminals would be one thing that we could do to try to limit the violence,

I once had a ranting coworker tell me that we needed laws that made it illegal for crazy people and criminals to buy guns. I pointed out that it was already against the law and I was willing to give him a copy of the GCA 68. His response was "bullshit." Like many liberals, he believed that criminals don't break the law on their way to breaking more laws.

Just heard today that Glenn Beck has given Clarke his own radio (podcast) show on Saturdays starting this week. Might be worth a listen



TheBlaze Radio Network announced a new podcast entitled ‘David Clarke: The People’s Sheriff’, today during Glenn’s radio show. Host David Clarke is the current Sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin and is an outspoken defender of individual liberties. The weekly, one-hour podcast will launch on Saturdays beginning June 6 and will focus on law enforcement issues, knowing your rights, commentary on current affairs, racial issues, 2nd Amendment matters, and the importance of empowering individuals rather than the state.

You guys read my mind. Progressivism is the mental problem in both parties.

Fully agreed. The progressive poison exists on both sides
