In a live Aug. 15 appearance on FOX News, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke comments on the causes that led to the unrest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin after the shooting of Sylville K. Smith.
Clarke blames “failed progressive policies” for the breakdown of the Black family structure.
In addition, the sheriff says that being fatherless affects the decision-making of Black residents, and that it contributed to the weekend unrest.
“… 17 percent of the kids born in Milwaukee are born without an engaged father in their life,” Clarke tells the host. ” I look at the progressive policies that has marginalized Black dads. That said you are not needed. Uncle Sam is going to be the dad. He is going to provide for the kids. But Uncle Sam has been a horrible father.”
