'Wrong headline by lib media': Sheriff David Clarke fixes report about last night's #Ferguson shooting

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said that during a demonstration in Ferguson on the one-year anniversary of Michael Brown’s death, a man shot “a remarkable amount of gunfire” at police officers. Officers returned fire, critically injuring the man.

Politico reported it this way:

David Clarke, Jr., Sheriff of Milwaukee County, found the headline deceptive:

http://t.co/MPPJH8QYMs Wrong headline by lib media as usual. Early report is that SUSPECT FIRES SHOTS AT POLICE, POLICE RETURN FIRE.

He fixed it for you, Politico! The MSM might not like Clarke’s version though because it doesn’t make police out to be the aggressor.

@SheriffClarke @michellemalkin Spin the narrative, repeat as neccessary. Retract on page 21 of 20 page paper. Wait until next story. Repeat.
