To: President Donald Trump and President Donald Trump
Stop Sheriff David Clark of Milwaukee.
Four people died in Milwaukee County Jail in just 6 months of 2016. Among these were a mentally ill man, who died of dehydration after his water was cut off, and a newborn baby. Sheriff Clarke's statement regarding his role in these deaths was callous and cruel. He is well known for his rhetoric against Black Lives Matter, and recently called protesters "subhuman creeps." Currently, there is talk of his being offered a major post in the Trump administration. Sheriff Clarke is not the kind of person we want in any position of responsibility.
Why is this important?
I was shocked at what Sheriff David Clarke had to say regarding the deaths of inmates in Milwaukee County Prison. He doesn't seem to believe that all lives matter. And when I did more research about him, read his startling opinions on crime and criminals, and then learned that he was being considered to head the Dept. of Homeland Security, I felt I had to do something to try to prevent this.
