Thursday, Clarke insisted Black was in the wrong, penning a Facebook post defending himself against the complaint. Next time he or anyone else pulls this stunt on a plane they may get knocked out. The Sheriff said he does not have to wait for some goof to assault him. He reserves the reasonable right to pre-empt a possible assault, Clarke wrote in a statement.
There you have it: If you talk to Sheriff Clarke and then walk away, that's a sign that you may or may not try to assault him in the future and that gives him the right to beat you up here and now.

What an idiot!
