Sheriff David Clarke suggests Barack Obama encouraged Ferguson rioting [View all]
Sheriff David Clarke suggests Barack Obama encouraged Ferguson rioting
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/283896031.html
Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. is suggesting that President Barack Obama encouraged rioting in Ferguson, Mo., in the wake of a grand jury's decision Monday not to file criminal charges in the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown.
Clarke made the comment in an interview Tuesday afternoon on Fox News' "Your World with Neil Cavuto."
"When I heard the president call for calm after the rioting started, I questioned his sincerity because some of his political strategy of divide and conquer fuels this sort of racial animosity between people," Clarke said. "And so, I think when he called for calm after the rioting started, I believe it was done with a wink and a nod."
Cavuto did not follow up on the comment.
