If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

[Maraya1969]

62. I wonder who the other person or persons are. You can't create a Conspiracy with just one person

[jmowreader]

65. Probably the six cops Clarke unleashed on the complainant

My feeling is they should forget about the s.241 charge and pursue s.242 charges against Clarke and the other six officers. It’s going to take a hell of a lot more proof than is in this search warrant request to prove conspiracy. OTOH they have a fairly good deprivation of civil rights case against each individually.

[spanone]

2. K&R...

[Kingofalldems]

3. I seem to recall Clarke traveling to Russia.

[uponit7771]

11. +1, they'll blame it all in the non white. .. typical kgop

[Kingofalldems]

4. So this happened in March 2017.

Didn't he get pardoned right around that time?

[Cattledog]

10. You are thinking of Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio

[Kingofalldems]

12. Correct, got them mixed up.

[getagrip_already]

31. Yeah, easy to do...

One is a white neo-racist bigot and the other is a black neo-racist bigot.

The black guy is the one with all the generals stars.

[TheBlackAdder]

53. Don't forget his front jacket flair, taken from Wendy, a server at T.G.I. Fridays.

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Notice the date of action.

March 7,2017,interesting how this will play out. Is this a Wisconsin Matter or a Federal Matter.

[Kingofalldems]

6. Fed matter.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. This is a FBI Agent's request,

seems to me Clarke had some issues involving his Department and Brutality or wrongful deaths in Milwaukee County .

[Wellstone ruled]

35. Raw Story posted the Story.

Clarke had ordered his Deputies to arrest a Passenger aboard a flight he was on. Because of a verbal response by that Passenger.

[ProudLib72]

23. I read that as "fecal matter"

And I believe I'm not far off base considering this is Clarke.

[Sophia4]

7. Here we go:

[GusBob]

37. Does this have to do with the guy on the plane?

Some guy shook his head at Clark and he got met by deputies

[Sophia4]

57. I have utterly no idea. I just looked up the law cited in the court filing at the link.

[GusBob]

58. I think it does as discussed in the LBN thread

The lawsuit against the sherriff is detailed there

[left-of-center2012]

8. ...

[leftieNanner]

13. I think he collected

those pins out of a box of Fruit Loops. Cracker Jacks maybe.

[longship]

15. Every time I see him I think of this...

[Kingofalldems]

16. Trump wants that.

[Ken Burch]

19. Why is he wearing a "CHILL" pin?

Why does he have a "cop" pin pointing a gun aimed at the baby in swaddling clothes pin right next to it?

And d'ya think he knows that the rainbow up by his right shoulder symbolizes?

(question for anybody who's ever been in law enforcement...are you normally allowed to pin whatever the hell you want to pin onto your dress uniform?)

[JDC]

21. Not sure if you are joking

But that is photo shopped w/ extra pins

[left-of-center2012]

24. Yep. You got that right

[blaze]

33. Yeah... but not photo shopped a LOT

He does wear a lot of extraneous pins that, "have very significant emotional and real value."

[Ken Burch]

27. Did not know that.

That explains it.

[milestogo]

22. Somebody still needs boy scout paraphernalia to feel manly.

[Leghorn21]

28. Just tripped across this, cant resist, left:

[greatauntoftriplets]

36. He looks like a human refrigerator with a bunch of unrelated magnets on it.

[Jamaal510]

60. ...

[jmowreader]

38. There's not quite enough flair on that uniform

"I only count 46 pieces of flair on your uniform, Sheriff Clarke. Deputy Fife over there, he has 83 pieces. Don't you want to display your sheriff's department spirit?"

"If you wanted everyone to wear 83 pieces of flair, then why didn't you make the minimum 83 pieces?"

[sunonmars]

14. His sudden departure off the stage makes sense now

[stonecutter357]

17. K&R

[Kingofalldems]

18. Update from an attorney:

Link to tweet

[Eliot Rosewater]

30. And yet Arpaio we know is guilty of multiple murders of

inmates

Absolute certainty, or at a minimum dozens or hundreds of illegal beatings of inmates

Watch the black guy go down and the white guy skate

[Ligyron]

41. Somebody has to pay...

Right?

[Maraya1969]

64. He can still be charged with murder and assault now. He was convicted of criminal contempt

He was ordered to stop racial profiling and he refused.

I wonder why he was never charged in any murder or asssault

[Honeycombe8]

20. Some inmates died in their jail. Someone asked the DOJ to investigate jail conditions.

So it could be that. It doesn't say what investigation the subpoena is related to.

[jmowreader]

59. Look at post 40, Honeycombe

The warrant request is sixteen pages long, and goes into great (and revolting) detail about what Clarke allegedly did.

[Honeycombe8]

63. Ah....yes, it has nothing to do with Trump. Another Trump-supporting bully...

doing what comes naturally.

[quartz007]

25. Drumpf's pardon list just got longer?

Arpaio
Manafort
Flynn
Pappadapolous
.
.
Clark

[getagrip_already]

32. You forgot....

Junior
Kushner
Princess
Eric
Donald.......

[quartz007]

34. Memory is the 2nd thing that goes

when one turns 70. And I can't remember the 1st!

[old guy]

26. Hummm.

I wonder if Scotty Wanker is having a little trouble sleeping.

[Miigwech]

29. Guys in cowboy hats are creepy these days

Clark, Moore, all the Bundy's

[47of74]

44. There are good cowboys out there....

For example...

But yeah, I get your point. Seems to me sometimes that the biggest asshole indicator these days, aside from a maga hat, is the cowboy hat.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

39. Curiouser and Curiouser

[jmowreader]

40. Here's the search warrant...and yes, it is about the guy on the plane

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4340784-Search-Warrant-for-David-A-Clarke-Jr-s-Email.html#document

I LMFAO when I saw the statutes this moron is accused of violating, 18 USC 241 and 18 USC 242. These are the first two statutes anyone fighting sovereign citizens learns, because SCs consider them to be a cash machine: if you get pulled over by the police for driving without a license, registration or insurance, you can (supposedly) slap an 18 USC 241/242 suit on their asses and take their homes, cars and everything they own. Driving a car is a God-given right that can't be regulated or curtailed for any reason, and you can sue the shit out of the cops for violating your civil rights if they try to stop you from traveling freely. (In case you're wondering, that's total bullshit but there are a lot of people who believe it.)

18 USC 241 and 242 are Civil Rights-era laws designed to punish KKK members who join the police so they can harass and/or kill blacks without repercussions. The reason this is so funny to me is that the laws were written to protect innocent black people from white asshole cops, and here they're being used to protect an innocent white man against a black asshole cop.

To make an s.241 charge stick, though, they'll have to charge the other officers that harassed this citizen because s.241 is a conspiracy statute. An s.242 case will be a lot easier to prosecute. The maximum sentence is an undisclosed fine and a year in prison for both statutes.

But knowing the Oompa-Loompa in Chief, he'll probably pardon Clarke before trial.

[Kingofalldems]

49. Who is the guy on the plane?

[uponit7771]

52. See post number 50 and yes seems like Clark is that petty

[packman]

42. OH, Sweet Jesus - This has made my day

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE get something on this excuse for a human and send him into the pits of hell. Well, maybe not that far down, but a few years behind bars would be delicious.

[47of74]

43. I was considering flying out of MKE next March for my trip

Operative word here is was. Clarke just got MKE crossed off my list. I won't even consider using that airport now. Clarke may be out of office but Milwaukee has to be made to understand that there are consequences to installing wannabe dictators into office.

[mercuryblues]

67. Are you kidding?

I hope I would run into him. I would point and laugh at him. Legally there is nothing that he could do about it. He deserves mocking everywhere he goes.

[IluvPitties]

46. Down goes Uncle David...

[mountain grammy]

47. Lock him up!

Another horrible human being.

[tblue37]

48. His email addresses is LOL funny!

"[e-mail]"

So embarrassing --if he were capable of feeling embarrassment or shame.

[Pepsidog]

50. He used his position to intimidate another passenger on a plane who Clarke had

an argument with. Emailed his deputies and them stop and question the passenger he argued with. Clear abuse of power and violation of another’s civil rights

[Kingofalldems]

51. Ahh, thanks.

Lock his ass up.

[GusBob]

55. There was no argument

The guy asked if he was sherriff Clarke
Clarke said yes
The guy shook his head
Clarke asked him if he had a problem
Walking away the guy shook his head again

For this the guy was met by 6 deputies and arrested

[Pepsidog]

61. Well than thats even worse.

[elfin]

54. Doubt he cares -- Clarke is African-American

Despite running as a Democrat in Milwaukee County, he found a lucrative niche in Repug. circles. Rhetoric plus a cowboy hat made him a favorite in the Repug PR scam that the party respects diversity.

He has been convenient for photo ops and on the list for paid presenters for the likes of Bannon. Trump is an idiot, but smart enough to ditch him even from his own maniac mainstream.

[UTUSN]

56. No worries: An ARPAIO (trademark) Pardon is on the way!1

[roamer65]
