I remember that rant. IIRC only one or maybe two of those things were actually legit, and the rest were just jingoistic trinkets.

If he wasn’t the sheriff, there’s no way he’d survive leaving the Milwaukee airport.

If you even know the name of a sheriff that wasn’t on on your last local ticket, he’s probably a renowned dick… If a mid-20’s guy can recognize a sheriff on an airplane, out of uniform, in another part of the country, he’s pretty much guaranteed to be an absolute garbage human being.

In order for that to have occurred, Mr. Clarke would have to have been given Mr. Black’s personal information. Is it legal for Mr. Clarke, who’s role at the time was “generic passenger”, to be given such information?

If they made him FBI head they’d lose the advantage; you’d hear them coming a mile off with their 37 pieces of flair.

It sounds like the FB harassment didn’t start until after Clarke filed his complaint, so at that point he’d have Clarke’s name, address, and all of his other personal info.

I think I’ve read the Milwaukee courts are packed with Republicans, so good luck with that lawsuit.

Dear Internet, please build a website where you design flair and pin it on Sheriff Clarke. Thanks in advance.
Possible title: “Pin The Flair On The Jackass!”

Maybe it’s his flair and he’s required to have 15 pieces of it.

It’s amazing how the victims of abuse/violence are the ones getting called “snowflakes” (I’m also thinking of the attacked Guardian reporter, etc) despite the fact that the ones attacking/abusing them were so insecure, so frightened of someone asking them a simple question that this was their response. The projection on the part of the right is amazing. Seeing the number of Trumpists attacking the victims and talking about reporters as terrorists who deserve more than just being hit, it’s been occurring to me that even if Trump himself isn’t a fascist (arguable), Trumpism absolutely is fascism.
Absolutely.
His department is chock full of horrific scandals. There was a deputy under his command who ran a stop sign, crashed into a car and caused the driver of that car to break her neck in four places. The deputy then conspired with other deputies to frame her for drunk driving and pin the accident on her. Even after it became clear that he had lied (someone thankfully took her blood which revealed no drugs or alcohol), they still tried to extort the cost of the police car from her. No one suffered any punishment for the crime. (Though the deputy later got suspended because it turned out he’d been handing off all his paperwork to his girlfriend to falsify.)
He claims these are pins that people give him. But none are official honors of any sort, and I’m not sure why he thinks “I have to wear these - people gave them to me!” is a good argument for making them part of his dress uniform. (And who knows if his sad story is even true.)
Trumpism is characterized by staggering amounts of projection.

Im trying to imagine in what scenario a citizen would knowingly get in a sheriffs face and try to intimidate him. If that did happen, im pretty sure that guy would have gone straight to jail. Sheriff lies. Sad.

I shudder to think about all the real military and civilian medals that our shiny-metal-loving Banana Republican El Presidente will award himself before he leaves or is driven out of office.
