Sheriff David Clarke Plagiarized Portions of His Master’s Thesis on Homeland Security

CNN has found evidence that Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke plagiarized portions of his master’s thesis at the Naval Postgraduate School. CNN found at least 47 examples of Clarke failing to properly attribute his sources, which could pose a barrier for his appointment to a position in the Department of Homeland Security. [CNN]

In all instances reviewed by CNN’s KFile, Clarke lifts language from sources and credits them with a footnote, but does not indicate with quotation marks that he is taking the words verbatim.

The same people who think that “ur” is a word and it doesn’t matter whether you spell it “they’re,” “there,” or “their,” will say this is just a minor technicality.

They love this grandstanding, made-up “hero” POS.
