Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr., a black conservative who last year called African Americans “lazy” and “morally bankrupt,” criticized the FBI for investigating the Flint water crisis.
“FBI is stretched thin keeping up with US radicalized terror subjects but is sending agents to investigate Flint MI lead in water. Priorities,” Clarke tweeted Wednesday.
Clarke is known for his incendiary, attention-grabbing comments about Democrats, African Americans and progressive issues.
His tweet about Flint caught criticism – and some praise – from his Twitter followers.
@SheriffClarke TAKE OFF YOUR GUN. PUT YOUR BADGE AWAY. I WOULD LOVE TO BEAT YOU TO DEATH WITH MY BARE HANDS.

Clarke is a notorious racial agitator and frequent guest on Fox News.
In a podcast on a conservative website, Clarke blasted African Americans.
“Let me tell you why blacks sell drugs and involve themselves in criminal behavior instead of a more socially acceptable lifestyle — because they’re uneducated, they’re lazy, and they’re morally bankrupt,” Clarke said. “That’s why.”
Clarke also said the Black Lives Matter movement “will join forces with ISIS to being (sic) down our legal constituted republic. You heard it first here.”
