Sheriff David Clarke EXPLOSIVE Speech at Republican National Convention

Milwaukee sheriff at RNC: 'Blue lives matter'

Donald Trump understands what it will take to make the United States safe again, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said in his speech Monday night before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Invoking Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 writing about the “the interrelatedness of all communities and states” and about our “inescapable network of mutuality, tying us in a single garment of destiny,” Clarke remarked that events in recent years in Ferguson, Missouri; in Baltimore; and in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, have shown a “collapse of social order.”

He spoke of the basic morality of the rule of law, provided that it is applied equally to both the wealthy and the impoverished; both men and women, and yes, the majority and the minority,” Clarke said, according to his prepared remarks, beginning by declaring, "Blue Lives Matter!"

Clarke also departed from his prepared remarks to celebrate Baltimore Police Lt. Brian Rice's acquittal of all charges in the case of Freddie Gray, who died in police custody. Clarke called the legal inquiry into Rice's conduct the work of a "malicious" prosecutor.

Many of the actions of the Occupy and Black Lives Matter movements “transcend peaceful protest and “violates the code of conduct we rely on,” Clarke said. "I call it anarchy."

“These are truths that are self-evident to me, and which I practice, and they are the truths that Donald Trump understands and supports. Donald Trump is the steadfast leader our nation needs,” Clarke said.

Trump, Clarke said, “has spoken passionately to me of his belief in our American system of justice, and he speaks to the values that are at the foundation of our social contract.”
