Sheriff David Clarke is placing the blame on President Obama's lack of leadership for creating an environment where police officers are targeted and attacked. On Judge Jeanine Pirro's show, the sheriff said the president has declared an "open season" on police officers.

Clarke's remarks follow the execution-style murder of Deputy Dan Goforth at a gas station in Texas.

The sheriff said he was "too pissed off" and he was not going to "be diplomatic about what's going on" and he's "not going to stick his head in the sand about it."

"I said last December that war had been declared against the American police officer, led by some high-profile people. One of them coming out of the White House, another one coming out of the U.S. Department of Justice. And it's open season right now, no doubt about it."

Clarke pointed out a lack of leadership facing the issue of attacks and targeting of police. "That's why I said the President of the United States started this 'war on police.'"
