Sheriff Clarke: ‘Blue Lives Matter in America’; Destroys CNN Anchor
Sheriff Clarke: “Blue Lives Matter in America”
While speaking at the Republican Nation Convention, Sheriff Clarke took time to send a message, “I would like to make something very clear: Blue Lives Matter in America.”
Sheriff Clarke had recently been on CNN where he threw off anchor Don Lemon with his response to a question:
Lemon began the interview by saying law enforcement officials in Louisiana talked about the Baton Rouge police killings. “Their message is peace and coming together in the country. What’s your message?”
“You don’t believe that for one minute, do you?” Clarke replied.
“That’s what they said to me,” Lemon said. “Yeah, I believe them.”
“Are there protests over the deaths of the cops in Baton Rouge?” Clarke said.
“I don’t know that,” Lemon said.
“Any riots or protests over the police officers in Dallas, Texas?” Clarke said.
“What are you asking?” Lemon said.
When Lemon pressed Clarke for a response to the killings, the sheriff said. “My message has been clear from day one two years ago. This anti-cop sentiment from this hateful ideology called Black Lives Matter has fueled this rage against the American police officer. I predicted this two years ago.”
After a few exchanges, Lemon said, “Sheriff, please. Let’s just keep the vibe down here. So I understand, and, listen …”
Clarke shot back: “I’m looking at three dead cops this week and I am looking at five last week. You’re trying to tell me to keep it down?”
Later in the interview, Lemon and Clarke butted heads on whether data shows that police are more aggressive toward black males than white males.
“There is data that supports that,” Lemon said.
“There is not data,” Clarke said.
“The President spoke about it,” Lemon said.
“The President has been lying about it,” Clarke said.
As nationally renowned criminologist, and Blue Lives Matter consultant, Ron Martinelli, Ph.D. has shown, Sheriff Clarke is right.
Sheriff Clarke has been getting a lot of hate directed towards him for standing up for law enforcement. Please send a message of support to Sheriff Clarke for having the courage to stand up for what is right, and ask that your friends thank him as well.
