Sheriff Clarke To Face Trial After Airplane Incident Investigated By FBI

Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr. will face the long arm of the law stemming from a January 15, 2017 incident in which Clarke allegedly ordered six sheriff's deputies to take airplane passenger Daniel Black aside for interrogation after Black reportedly shot Clarke a disapproving look on the flight.

Black asked if Clarke was the notorious sheriff, which Clarke explained he was. Black moved towards the back of the plane shaking his head. Clarke asked Black if he had a problem and Black shook his head no. There was no further interaction on the plane. But after the two came off the plane, Black was taken into custody by six deputies waiting at the gate for him. -RawStory

While federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Wisconsin dropped the case due to "insufficient proof," Black has filed a civil suit against Clarke for calling him a "snowflake" on Facebook, along with several posts by the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office social media accounts. Several of the charges were thrown out by a Judge on Friday, however it was decided that Clarke should face trial over whether or not his Social Media posts at the time were threats or retaliation against Black. 

In a Facebook post after the incident, Clarke said "Next time he or anyone else pulls this stunt on a plane they may get knocked out. The Sheriff said he does not have to wait for some goof to assault him. He reserves the reasonable right to pre-empt a possible assault."

The account then posted "Sheriff Clarke regrets that he cannot attend this juvenile, leftist, anti-cop tantrum. He is pleased that he has their attention however."

In Late December, court documents revealed that the FBI executed a search warrant shortly after the incident on Clarke's "dclarke.cowboy@gmail.com" account shortly after the incident, along with the Milwaukee sheriff's department's social media accounts. 

According to a court filing, the FBI received a packet of reports from the Forensic Audit Manager for the Milwaukee County Office of the Comptroller with Black's complaint. The Milwaukee investigator concluded, in part "Clarke used his official position as Sheriff of Milwaukee County in excess of his lawful authority to direct his deputies to stop and question Black without legal justification."

Shortly thereafter, the FBI obtained a warrant.

After several media outlets reported on the incident, Clarke lashed out - tweeting "When LYING LIB MEDIA makes up FAKE NEWS to smear me, the ANTIDOTE is go right at them. Punch them in the nose & MAKE THEM TASTE THEIR OWN BLOOD," along with several other angry tweets.

Which resulted in a temporary suspension from Twitter.

Clarke also tweeted a photo of a letter from the Department of Justice with their decision not to prosecute, saying "Lib media did a drive-by hit job on me today with a FAKE NEWS STORY that I am under investigation by the FBI. It s a LIE. Last MAY the US Atty s office found NO EVIDENCE of wrongdoing for doing police work. Lying Lib media took a story from LAST MAY & reports this today as new."

That said, Clarke still has to find out how a Wisconsin jury feels about the Sheriff "cyberbullying" a "snowflake."

Anyone on the left, that is.

Many police chiefs and sheriffs around the country are directly responsible for deaths of innocent Americans due to releasing violent illegal aliens on to the street, but not one gets arrested.

I guess calling someone a snowflake and questioning them is a far greater offense than accessory to murder, according to the FBI.

Has everyone gone insane?  A civil suit for being called a snowflake?  Taking a man aside with a bunch of deputies because he gave you a disapproving look?  This is what passes for choices in this country.  We're supposed to care about either of these assholes.

My problem with this is that the case only goes forward because he's a conservative.  Had he been a liberal all would be fine. The snowflake would have already been executed twice and not a word of complaint in the press.  Things are really out of balance in that regard.  Trump says he wants to get along with Russians and he's a russian puppet. Hillary gets bagloads of cash and "oh no problem would you like us to bless the cash and make the sign of the cross over it?".

All this stinks of Deep State.

Well, come on here, someones feelings were hurt. In USSA these are serious crimes that must be litigated at the highest levels. He should appeal to the next higher court. Preferably the 9th, the court of feelings rulings that are constantly being overturned. Meanwhile, he might consider a new residence, change of name as he has painted a big target on himself.

The time is drawing near for the S to HTF.  Stay vigilant patriots.  Keep stocking up, taking notes and remembering the who, why and where for when it’s time to get the ropes.

I admire Clarke, he's brutal when it comes not taking shit from the MSM 'fake news' tribe and the empty headed snowflakes that probably don't even know how to wipe their own ass.

Harry Lightning Jan 6, 2018 8:18 PM

This fucking cunt Clinton and her bumpkin husband can steal and extort billions of dollars and walk freely, yet this guy Clarke tells some piece of shit asshole lib that he's going to shit teeth if he looks at Clarke the wrong way and because of it Clarke has to stand trial ? 

Its time for pitchforks and shotguns, the new national pastime to replace football should be to hunt liberals.

Great,  a photoshop of Trump humping CNN while CNN is licking Clarke's toe and Clarke is in ecstasy.............can't decide whether drink the JD or use it as eye wash.......maybe both

No quit in Sheriff Clark.  He knows the law, he knows the boundaries too.  No line was crossed. 

The Snowflake will soon learn that it's actually a First Amendment right to call someone a Snowflake. 

Remember, any Snowflake can file a lawsuit for anything.  It doesn't mean any wrong doing occurred.

FBI created to shove FED reserve down your throat and help destroy anyone avoiding taxes or skimming the NEW system of Rothschild.
