Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke didn’t pull any punches in his assessment of the

Michael Brown, despite the feds’ decision to drop a civil rights investigation — and 

characterized him on national television as less than intelligent and unworthy of respect.

“The grand jury in Ferguson, Missouri, got it right,” Sheriff Clarke said, during an

Sheriff Clarke then directed anger at Mr. Sharpton, who spoke sharply in the wake of

 Mediaite reported. “We know he is a charlatan. 

Al Sharpton ought to go back into the gutter he came from. 

The police officer is owed a lot from him, Eric Holder and the president of the United States.”
