Real Enforcement By Real Cops Against Real Threats

After the Chattanooga attack, Sheriff David Clarke said America’s vulnerability to terrorism won’t improve because our commander-in-chief isn’t going to do anything about it and everything Obama touches tends “to turn to crap” anyway.

Sheriff Clarke also noted how ironic it was that on the day of the Chattanooga shooting, Obama was visiting a federal prison trying to boost prisoner morale. At the same time, law enforcement officers were running toward the shooter to take down the shooter and protect citizens. These are the same front line law enforcement personnel who Obama has berated and attacked for the past six years.

Clarke said the intelligence provided to law enforcement from government agencies is not “actionable intelligence.” He called for a national strategy with a domestic intelligence agency on par with MI5 in the UK. He described the FBI as a ‘downstream’ agency that is too reactive to be helpful in the battle against terrorism.

The Department of Homeland Security was intended to provide a higher level of intelligence, but has devolved and provides few material benefits to law enforcement.

Clarke says another problem is President Obama has gutted the Department of Defense 1033 program, which makes surplus military hardware available to local law enforcement agencies, stating also that everything Obama “touches tends to turn to crap.”

Sheriff Clarke said he wouldn’t sit on his hands, but he will be enlisting the aid of law-abiding armed American citizens in addressing this problem and profiling in the fight against terror threats in our country.

Regarding the monitoring of mosques, where hatred and plans for this type of incident are hatched, Sheriff Clarke said he isn’t concerned about peoples’ feelings being hurt, “I don’t care about offending people, I care about protecting the American citizens, protected the Homeland. It’s a discussion we are going to have to have in the intelligence community and regardless of what people out of the White House might be saying, job one is protect the homeland.”
