Sheriff Clarke Almost Gets to Ride to the Rescue

Conservative talk radio and the right side of the blogosphere have been all over the Walid Shoebat controversy. And just as Sheriff David Clarke was poised to ride in to save the day by offering up county deputies to help provide security for the event, UWM pulled the rug out by reducing the fee charged to the Conservative Union to $500.

According to the Journal Sentinel: "Clarke said he offered to provide his own officers for free in the hopes that UWM officials would change course."

I hope Clarke realizes that those officers are neither his nor would they be free.
