Sheriff Clarke knows that Beyonce’s racist and pro-Black Panther half time show performance wasn’t just a show — it is actually affecting the lives of police officers. Now, he’s sending a message loud and clear to Obama about just how serious it is.
According to CNN:
A Colorado sheriff’s deputy died after being shot Monday; two sheriff’s deputies were killed Wednesday in Maryland; a police officer in Georgia is dead after gunfire broke out Thursday while he and other officers were serving a warrant; and a police officer shot Wednesday night in North Dakota did not survive, authorities say.
Before these deaths were reported, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said at least three other U.S. law enforcement officers had died from gunfire in the line of duty this year. Adding the totals together, that would make at least eight since January 1.
Here’s what the Sheriff tweeted out to the President:
