Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his eyes set on a new target: pro-self defense Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County. According to the Washington Times, Bloomberg has dumped $150,000 for advertising into the race between Clarke and Milwaukee Police Lt. Chris Moews, who are running against each other in a Democratic primary.
Clarke and Moews have traded barbs in the past regarding the best way to handle crime in Milwaukee and surrounding areas. Clarke also has a long standing feud over firearm self-defense with Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who has endorsed Moews.
Clarkes' offense:
...With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is
no longer your best option. You could beg for mercy from a violent
criminal, hide under the bed or you can fight back. But are you
prepared? Consider taking a certified safety course in handling of
firearms, so you can defend yourself until we get there. You have a duty
to protect yourself and your family. We're partners now. Can I count on
you?" Clarke stated in one radio ad from early 2013.
So training is not enough. The anointment of authority with the fairy dust of government approval is necessary.
