David Clarke is one of the most famous lawmen in America. He is the sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. He is a commanding personality who has much experience and much to say. And he says it very well.

Sheriff Clarke is a guest on National Review’s current cruise. Jay sat down with him for a “Q&A” in front of an audience.

They talk about his upbringing: Sheriff Clarke’s father was a military man, and he loved America, despite the injustices he experienced, as a black man. Then discussion turns to Sheriff Clarke’s early days as a policeman: What were they like? How are things different today? (They are VERY different, and worse.)

In due course, Jay and the sheriff talk about some key and controversial issues: the “militarization” of the police; drugs; guns; Black Lives Matter; the “Ferguson effect.”

Finally, Jay asks some “heavy” questions, as we used to say, once upon a time: Should a mom or dad want a son or daughter to join a police force? What about the burden that a sheriff or police chief bears, being responsible for the physical well-being of a large community?

At the end of this “Q&A,” the audience rose in applause for Sheriff Clarke. You’ll see why, when you listen.
