Sheriff Clarke is 100% right, Abele is a wimp, milquetoast a younger version of Tire Iron Tom Barrett. Clarke is feared by criminals, thats all you need to know.

Sherriff Clarke has and will always have my vote!!! He is 100% right on with his comments. No matter wether u agree or disagree Sherriff Clarke is a common sense true American who took an oath to defend the Constitution!!
Sherriff Clarke for President. Abele on the other well he reminds me of the class clown. A guy who is smarter than everyone else yet lacks the most important human requirement........... Common Sense. So it really does not matter how many degrees one has nor where they recieved their education if the lack the basic necessity of life. Common Sense without he would starve if forced to live off the land.

I'd say it's perfectly on par with what happens any time you suddenly don't have unlimited money being handed out - lots of fighting, tantrums, finger pointing, and name calling. So much hate for poor little Abele the liberal philanthropist. What happened to the people who voted for him? Certainly there must be some group to which he has kicked back money who will sing his praises.

With county deputies laid off, does that mean that if you get shot to death on county grounds you will have to wait for an extra 10 minutes before someone starts filling out a report about it? Or did a larger budget previously give them the magic power to bodyguard everyone 24/7 and prevent all crime?

Chris Abele is a wimp. Anyone who is against someone defending themselves or their families is a wimp. He's just their poster boy.

Geeze! I hate the idea that Dave Clarke represents Milwaukee in any way. He's a real "nut job." Somebody whopped him with the "crazy" stick and let his power go to his head. He's now gained national notoriety for his rants. I hope the citizens of our area are smart enough to vote him out.

Even though Abele has been a general disappointment to them as the CE (handling things much as Walker did), the lefties are willing to overlook all that because he's butting heads with a guy who drives them absolutely bonkers.

They're both idiots.
@ Patriot please take your meds to reduce parania.

I wish we had a police chief and judges that were clones of Sheriff Clarke! Isn't it funny that nobody wants the blunt truth given to them, but prefer the sugar coated liberal agenda forced down their throats?

The criminals know they can get away with murder in the city of Milwaukee! Maybe Flynn should spend more time "chasing paper" to catch criminals rather than chasing paper writing cute female reporters!

Enough is enough. While I do generally support the sheriff, his poop doesn't smell like roses. All parties involved are playing to the media a bit much. I think they should get back to work or get a room.

Clarke and Abele's public spat hits new lows. The media loves it and Clarke loves to see his name in the papers. The three ring circus will continue at least until election time.

For different reasons, I'm getting close to "over" these two. What is it with this current manifestation of politicians, who believe they are elected to be personality stars? I could care less about personality, do your job or we'll find someone who will.

Bren...I totally agree with you. Less "theater" and more sensible governance. To the pols...Do your jobs and stop the finger pointing! If you can't do the work you currently are responsible for, without all the drama, how could anyone trust that you'd do any better if you were to move to a higher position (which I assume is the goal of most politicians)?

My goodness, what a classy remark, Sheriff Clarke. I haven't heard such incisive political wit since, I don't know, middle-school.

Sheriff Clarke was brave to make these comments, but how does stating the truth help us? It is obvious that the white community in Milwaukee County has done all that it can to assist the black community. We have given them trillions of dollars of free money and entitlements. We have given them special preferences and high paying government jobs. All of our efforts have horribly failed. We must now begin the task of separating ourselves from them. There is simply no other solution.

Most people with Penis Envy drive a BMW or Audi now days. One of the administrations biggest envy-rs was way back when 1st given Homeland Security post.She said "The biggest terrorist threat to America is returning war Veterans".Anyone in the Army or Marines deployed to a combat zone is well train in the use of the AR-15 single shot,three rnd burst ,full auto or variants there of. Also the Barretta 9mm semi auto, My favorite M249 saw , 240 bravo, M2 .50 cal and all sorts of grenade launchers. The Gov dont want people having access to these weapons because they are very good with them and a majority have contempt for the people in charge in Wash right now. Go to Cabelas some time. You cant even buy a Military style weapon ....at all. Not even the ammo. they are 100% out of all .223/5.56 and 9mm and .45ACP and 7.62 and .357 and even .22. Anyone that lives in the burbs and doesnt have some sort of dependable defense and trained to use it, is a blind idiot that refuses to see the bloom is off the rose and bad things are coming. Anyone that has been brutally raped or had to stand by passively and watch their loved ones get tortured or murdered all want to kill the bastards that did it. Shoot them when they cross the threshold or crawl through the window. Regretting that you shot someones son when they were invading your home is better than regretting that did nothing standing over your families graves. I have great experience in everything written here. So bring it on!

The Sheriff is elected by virtue of belonging to a political party. His positions are consistent with that political party and the NRA. As a public official he is subject to the budget created by the board of supervisors. The County Executive is an elected official that presides over the County and his policies cannot be overturned by the Sheriff. In my view, the Sheriff should not be an elected office based on partisan politics. Both the Sheriff and the Police Chief have law enforcement powers. However, law enforcement is limited to enforcing the law, not to be the Judge, Jury, Lobbyist, Spokesperson and law maker. The Sheriff is just that. The Police Chief by wanting stricter weapon background checks is discussing enforcing the law for the benefit of society. BTW, i never understood the theory that multiple shot weapons are needed to shoot a deer. The deer runs after one shot if not dead on arrival. There is no law against hunting except for seasonal and licensing restrictions for the most part. In a shoot-out firepower wins. why give any person the power to win a shoot-out against the innocent people and the police ? Next it will be mortars, rockets and the return of the Tommy Gun and Gatling Gun. Remember, only the Feds have multi/state jurisdiction and awesome police powers to save lives. Protection against uninvited home invasion is reasonable. Shoot-outs on the streets are not reasonable.

Hey, Clarke followers! You can follow him literally, just walk behind him with shovel in hand when he rides his horse in the St. Patrick's Day Parade

Sheriff Clarke should follow the example of a professional law enforcement officer like Chief Ed Flynn.

Former Governor Scott Mc Callum should be remembered for three things: pissing away the money from the tobacco lawsuits, appointing a Wiccan as chaplain of a correctional institution and appointing David "own a drone" Clarke as Sheriff of Milwaukee County.

Awesome robert heule. Should someone be sent over to your house on Barnard st in Greenfield to post a sign in your front yard telling all the nice rapists and thieves how you are against defending yourself with a gun? Pretty easy finding marks like you when your so stupid. Took me all of about 12 seconds to find that info.I wonder how many criminals go trolling for low hanging fruit on a site where people put their names out and anti gun views. I can only imagine how much is on your social network. You live in la la land. The world is very quickly turning into a horrible place and you placid spoon fed army of useful idiots are someday gonna wonder "What happened ? Durrrrrr, why didnt anyone warn us?" You deserve everything coming your way.

Robert, comments like the one you just posted are not worth responding to. Also, my comments had nothing to do with guns.

Bob Mc Bride, The local journalist you are writing about was "kicked of the air" for making racial remarks from her conservative talk show. She is the former wife of the former conservative District Attorney of Waukesha County "blew" the Mark Churma sexual assault case. Be a little more specfic like I am.

He has been forgiven as were several occupants of the White House. FDR did it, Ike did it, JFK did it, Nixon lied about it, Ford stumbled on his way to bed and Reagan couldn't remember. Oh! if I forgot one, please remind me.

You Republicans are too uptight, serious, stiff and can't recognize a little political humor. To me, much of this stuff is just that.

Bob, are you related to the local journalist? I hear her favorite song is Hail to the Chief.

What the hell do mean by"giving me an out"?

I think they both need to grow up & start acting like adults.
Both are commiting shamefully petty & childish displays in their attempts to insult & inconvenience the other.
