The other day Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke released a PSA advising his citizens to get the proper gun training and arm themselves because, due to layoffs and furlows, calling 911 is no longer the best option. Well of course this caught Piers Morgan’s attention and he had Clarke on his show as well as Milwaukee Mayor and failed recall candidate for WI governor Tom Barrett.

Of course, what ensued was a bully campaign against the Sheriff from Piers Morgan, despite the Sheriff’s reasoning for even making the ad. He told Morgan that due to budget cuts he’s had to layoff 42 officers and the Milwaukee police department is furlowing about 4500 officer hours. In short, they just don’t have the resources. But Morgan accused the Sheriff of creating a ‘wild wild west’ atmosphere with a ‘racy Hollywood ad’ that’s causing citizens to just start firing their weapons over nothing. And when the Sheriff couldn’t supply the personal defense statistics on-demand that Piers Morgan asked for, Morgan accused him of not ‘having a clue’ and it went on from there.

Watch (h/t: RCP):

Compare this to a much more professional and respectable interview by Fox and Friends just a couple of mornings ago:

Dear P. M. you have gone from post menstrual, To Piss Ant (piss ant: ants that crawl around very old toilets)! Blah, blah, blah, I'm P. M. the most obnoxious, self righteous individual who ever graced the left leaning arm of the American News media and it only matters what I have to say not what you think or have to say because I'm a Piss Ant!

Piers Morgan is a nasty bully whose ideas put Americans at risk.

They probably hate this sheriff because he was at the first Conservative Black Forum held by Allen West. I remember researching this guy before and making a short blog, talking about how a judge forced the sheriff to lay off 48 people. Sounds like they were able to save 6 of them.

Cuts are always made to law enforcement first, bureaucrats last.

Piers Morgan: lowering expectations every day his is on the air. My hat is off to the Sheriff of Milwaukee for having the courage to enter Morgan's den of treachery.

Piers, go back from whence you came - why do we give airtime to this ignorant moron!

According to piers' logic we should take the airbags out of the cars that have not deployed because they have not been used.

Sheer lunacy!

You right-wingers can either moderate to the norms of an America that is fast changing (and leaving your kind behind).....or you can become extremist. It seems you are choosing the latter.

You better watch out. 'Liberals' are everywhere, and we're keeping an eye on you. If you continue to become extreme, we will use our superior technology and forcefully confiscate your guns. Can any of you tell me just how well your AR-15 does when a Predator drone shows up at your door?

And please don't give me that b.s. about the constitution. You didn't do squat about the Patriot act, cuz you're all hypocrites!! The 2nd amendment is not absolute, there are limits. It's about where you draw the line. If not, can I own a rocket launcher? flame-thower? surface-to-air missile? Moving the line is not the same as eliminating it, IDIOTS

What a bunch of racists!

How DARE they?! This officer deals with crime every day - and has to handle who knows what when it comes to violent crimes and enforcing the law on behalf of the people!! These other MORONS are CLUELESS! Two pols and a British citizen telling this man who is LIVING in REALITY and stopping crimes as best he can.

These leftists have absolutely no shame - and NO CLUE!

The Sheriff is a patriot. I don't know why piers doesn't go back to the UK to live since he supports the leftist agenda that the freedom-loving people of the UK have been forced to endure.

First, clown boy Pierce degrades the Sheriff by telling him his "commercial" is nothing but a John Wayne look a like....

Then he rambles around the discussion to the point where he says this same "commercial" is an "official order" from law enforcement personnel telling all the residents to get a gun....

I really wonder about the intelligence of Pierce Morgan. He is puppet and is literally too stupid to see it.

Damn, I love that man. We need take that wuss Piers Morgan and send him back to England. His kind have already destroyed that once great nation. Now he wants to destroy ours.

Piers Morgan is nothing but an opportunist bottom-feeder leech. I won't even call him a journalist. I would put more creditability into an article written in the Sun or Daily Mirror than this POS.

I wish the Scoopster wouldn't post anything about this moron, but in a chaotic world, we could sure use a laugh courtesy of the left.

Oh and if this were a conservative interviewing a black, the race baiters would be on it like flies on s**t.

Follow the money - he isn't a citizen of this country. What's in it for him? I would like to know. His relentless attacking of our citizens has got to stop. What right does HE have to do this. He is being paid - oh I can't imagine by whom.

Sorry ... I like what the sheriff had to say on his PSA and don't like hearing Piers Morgan so I'm just not going to give him my time. Just like a spoiled child ... keep giving them the exactly what they want and they will never learn consequences.

Gee, you'd almost think Morgan and the mayor are racist!! Trying to stop the sheriff from warning citizens to do what they can to protect themselves! How many people have died "waiting for local law enforcement to show up and save them"??

notsofastthere
notsofastthere

I'm holding reservations on that racist stuff until we give a chance for Jackson, Sharpton, the Black caucus, Powell and other non-racists to come to the Sheriff's defense. Pelosi, Reid, and Biden will support Sheriff Clark.....soon

Waiting......I'm still waiting.....can't hold my breath much longer :)

OK............they're bigots

Piers Morgan is living proof that, when we armed ourselves against the vicious, lying and manipulative British 250 years ago, it was the right thing to do.

The Left hates Sheriff Clarke because he's a Black Conservative who has left the Democrat Plantation.

notsofastthere
notsofastthere

I would add that Clarke has common sense and a genuine concern for the citizens. This is something the Left can't stand - common sense and genuine concern.

Sober_Thinking

The left wants it both ways...

They want to maintain out of control and unreasonable spending and not address their problems... and when counties or states can no longer function, they get stupid on them and blame them for not continuing to function as normal. They want to ban guns... but people need guns to protect themselves - especially if the local law enforcement is stripped down and reduced because there's no money. And the left blames people for legally exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.

They want to tax people to death because of their damned chronic spending and misuse of tax-payer money... and then get mad when people move to more wealth-friendly states or countries. How dare these free people move away when the mosquitos are moving in and trying to feed of their new hosts!

And Piers is a POS. CNN lets him run off at the mouth because it helps ratings. That's why crap T.V. like Jerry Springer and all the bad reality shows thrive... the ignorant and bored dumbmasses flock to them like zombies to a hospital.

I said it before... boycott this raving fool. Ignore him. Don't go on his show. Let him interview empty seats and thin air... there's not one single good thing that comes from his show... it ugly and spreads nonsense. Stop going on his idiotic show.

I don't ever watch them when it's a video about some loon running off at the mouth. I rely on the comments and Scoop's analysis... if I actually watched or listened to these crap weasels, I'd be very unpleasant to be around.

Can't we put Piers "Dock" Morgan in a john boat with a 2.5 horsepower motor, lots of gasoline, a cheap compass, and set him adrift off NY and generally point the boat towards Europe??? Why does a foreign visitor come over here and badger the invited guests on his awful television show? His rudeness is finally getting to the three people that regularly watch that crap show.

Cheap compass? I agree but Id add that it should be broken also.

Piers "Red Coat" Morgan is an elitist hack who believes were totally incompetent to own guns and it's the government's job to protect us from ourselves.

kong1967

Alright, Piers, never did he say he wanted the citizens all out shooting. The Sheriff asked people to get guns so they can protect their families against intruders. "How many were there?". Piers, you're really pi$$ing me off now. IT DOES NOT MATTER! If not one person needed it then GREAT! No one gets shot and no one goes out shooting everyone up.

Nice logic dipwad. You are, once again, equating law abiding citizents to criminals. They have guns so they will all be out shooting. Screw you Piers. I can't watch the rest of your ignorant interview.

Morgan bullied the sheriff, really? I don't think that wussy-boy could bully anyone, least of all a law enforcement official! Morgan is an idiot and should heve been locked up or deported long ago! Why would anyone watch that moron or participate in his BS program?

The families of the first settlers to New England were required by law to own a gun and carry it in public (even church), and to train there kids in firearms proficiency. Back in the 1950s and later many schools had shooting ranges and students brought there rifle to school. Guns have always been a part of American culture but gun violence hasn't. I think this shows serious problems with society and gun violence is only a symptom of a much larger problem.

I bought my first rifle from a guy in NY city. Took it home on the subway to Queens and not a soul thought it dangerous. Matter of fact I had a lot of folks giving me complements about the rifle. It never entered our minds that it would be used for a bad purpose.

That was back in 1962

Does any sports fans remember when sports commentator Jim Rome had NFL Quarterback Jim Everett on his show and what happened? Rome made fun of Everett's last name and kept calling him Chris, as in tennis player Chris Everett.

When Jim Everett had enough, he told Rome to stop. Jim Rome didn't so Everett shoved him through and off the TV set.

This needs to happen with Piers Morgan and maybe he'll get the message. Talk enough crap to the wrong person and get what's coming. Just a suggestion.

Of course he did, perhaps morgan should rename his show, "I get my highest ratings from bashing a person's God given right to protect themselves show", or " I don't want to go back to England because they will prosecute me, show."
