David A. Clarke Jr. - Cop Under Fire: Moving Beyond Hashtags of Race, Crime and Politics for a Better America

Praise for Cop Under Fire

Sheriff David Clarke has truly moved beyond race and politics, which allows him to look through the reality prism of crime in America. He is an America First law enforcement officer and one of the finest and stalwart gentlemen Ive ever met. Sheriff Clarke understands our Constitution and knows what to do to restore civility to our country. Respect for the law and its enforcement is his badge of honor. Every citizen must read this book!

At a time when too many leaders value political correctness above honest discussion, Sheriff David Clarke provides a much-needed voice of reason in tackling Americas challenges. He speaks his mind, and his no-nonsense approach to law and order is exactly what we need to make our country safer. Clarke knows that criminals commit crimesnot guns. His commitment to protecting law-abiding gun owners while getting criminals off the street is a model for all leaders.

Sheriff David Clarke is an American hero, and a powerful voice against the racist radicals who have declared war on our police. Sheriff Clarke understands the radical nature of this movement and the threat it poses to the frontline defenders of our communities, and especially our inner-city communities. We owe him a debt of gratitude for standing up to the haters and destroyers, and for speaking the truth. We owe it to ourselves to read this brave book and arm ourselves for the battles ahead.

The media and political establishment in my community is obsessed with silencing Sheriff David Clarke because his message threatens their culture of entitlement, excuse making, and race hustling. Sheriff Clarke doesnt back down because the people have his back. Even in a predominantly liberal community, his message of law and order, accountability, and self-empowerment resonates. He is one of Americas most important cultural voices.

At a time when America seems to have lost its way, Sheriff David Clarke offers critically important leadership, both as one of the nations top cops and as a much-needed public truth teller. His no-nonsense approach to law enforcement and unwavering sense of moral clarity are invaluable as we begin to restore our foundational principles and bring this exceptional nation back to full strength. A must-read.

If you have already encountered David Clarke in actionwhether knocking the stuffing out of a supercilious TV news anchor or delivering a clarion defense of law and order at the Republican National Conventionyou will feel right at home with this rousing survey of the present American scene. If, however, this is your firstand, sadly, belatedexposure to Sheriff Clarke, be prepared for the ride of your life. Clarke is a unique voice today: fearless in his contempt for political correctness and eloquent in his articulation of core American values. There is no more influential spokesman for the police; he has fought back relentlessly against the dangerous lies spread by the Black Lives Matter movement. In Cop Under Fire, Clarke takes on the social destruction wrought by the liberal crusade against personal responsibility. He movingly recounts his disciplined upbringing, providing a model of the only solution to urban dysfunction that can possibly succeed: committed, responsible parents. Clarkes clashes with the Democratic political machine in Milwaukee are a lesson in true democratic values, based on responsiveness to public needs. One can only hope that the fortuitous timing of Cop Under Fire, coming as the country embarks on a radically new presidential administration, is a sign that the era of delusional victimology and identity politics is coming to an end.

My mother once told me, Someday, everybody has to sit on their own bottom. Thats a message Sheriff Clarke addresses so personally and eloquently with this book. If America listens and learns, well be a better nation for it, and certainly a more united one.

I have had the pleasure of getting to know Sheriff David Clarke over the past twelve months. Over this short time period, Sheriff Clarke has shown that he is a man of tremendous character who exemplifies honesty and integrity. His beliefs are based not only in academia but also real-world, personal experiences, which makes his words invaluable. He does not put political affiliation, race, or gender before his patriotism for the great nationthis in itself gives him immense credibility and exemplifies leadership. I implore all to read Cop Under Fire, because Sheriff Clarkes personal first-hand experiences will provide all with a better example of racism, its causes, and how the liberal Left continues to use it for their agenda at the expense of police officers lives. Sheriff Clarke is a tremendous leader, follower, and a strong voice of reason who needs to be heard by all!

Cop Under Fire is a revealing narrative by an experienced law enforcement officer who understands both the cultural clashes that are occurring in American society and the public safety concerns of the average, hard-working, law-abiding Americanno matter their color. Sheriff Clarkes rejection of the identity politics that are being used to divide our nation and his dedication to telling the truth makes him the kind of honorable, principled public official we see all too little of these days.
