Sheriff David Clarke: New Book Tackling
Controversial Issues of Race, Religion, Politics and Patriotism
From the TV studios of FOX News to
the stage at the Republican National Convention, Milwaukee County Sheriff David
Clarke Jr. speaks passionately on controversial issues, earning him both
fans and critics across the country.
Now, in Cop
Under Fire: Moving Beyond the Hashtags of Race, Crime and Politics for a Better
America, Sheriff Clarke navigates the choppy waters of race, religion,
politics, and patriotism, while sharing how America can once again become a
great nation under God.
In Cop Under Fire, you'll
learn about:
- How
Sheriff Clarke's faith helps him to do his job and understand the problems
in urban America today;
- The real
meaning behind hate groups like Black Lives Matter and leftist ideology in
America;
- Racial
tension, animosity and violence toward law enforcement professionals;
- The
Second Amendment and how important it is in America today;
- Homeland
Security, the TSA and intelligence failure; and
- Border
protection and illegal immigration in the new Trump era.
Written in his characteristically
no-nonsense style, Cop Under Fire examines the ways in which America has
become increasingly polarized in recent years. With growing racial tension,
animosity toward law enforcement, government corruption, and disregard for the
constitution, no easy answer is in sight.
But Sheriff Clarke knows where we
must begin: we must stop blaming others; look at our problems with open eyes;
take ownership of our family, community, and country; and turn to God for
solutions.
"You might pick up this book
because you have seen me on television or heard me on the radio," says
Sheriff Clarke. "But I have to admit: most hand-wringing pundits have no
idea what they're talking about when it comes to 'police brutality,' racial
politics, and the intersection of law enforcement and some of the poorer people
of America. I want to shed light on these topics to give Americans a better
understanding of the scope of the problem, the challenges we're facing, and -
hopefully - some solutions."
Deeply rooted in Sheriff Clarke's
personal life story, Cop Under Fire is not a dry recitation of what
has gone wrong in America. It's about the issues that deeply affect us today -
both personally and politically - and how we can rise above our current
troubles to once again be a truly great people in pursuit of liberty and
justice for all.
