Birmingham, AL has been chosen as one of 6 states the feds will use to pilot the nationalization of local and state law enforcement agencies. Touted as initiative to ‘build community trust’ between citizens and local police, this takeover follows the age-old Marxist pattern of cloaking despotism within a faux security blanket.
The other pilot cities include Ft. Worth, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Stockton, Birmingham and Gary, Indiana.
Attorney General Eric Holder made the announcement today. The $4.7 million National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice was announced in April and is a partnership between federal officials and criminal justice experts focused on providing training, policy and research to address distrust between citizens and law enforcement.
The other pilot cities are: Ft. Worth, Gary, Indiana, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and Stockton. The initiative comes after several high profile fatal police-involved shootings.
“We are truly honored that DOJ would select Birmingham as one of six national pilot sites,” said Birmingham police Chief A.C. Roper. “The mayor and I actually started discussing this initiative several months ago and knew there would be over 100 cities vying for the limited opportunities.”
“We’re all aware of the modern day issues and national discussion on policing in America. Although we’ve worked extremely hard building bridges in our communities we saw this initiative as an opportunity to strengthen relationships, increase public cooperation, and improve the perception of police legitimacy across our city,” Roper said. “We truly recognize that the Birmingham Police Department cannot be successful without community support and community trust. This three year project will allow us to serve as a national police model and increase our capacity to serve our citizens.”
The Department of Justice started the initiative as part of the My Brother’s Keeper program, which seeks to create opportunities for all young people throughout the country – regardless of background – to improve their lives and reach their full potential.
“We are always committed to engaging with the community to ensure that we are serving them and hearing their concerns,” Birmingham U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance said in a prepared statement. “We want to do a good job of listening, so that we can work together to make the community safe. We appreciate the opportunity to be one of the six pilot sites in this initiative, and the recognition from Washington that we are trying to get it right down here.”
When is he going away ?
The end of the USA!!!!
This appears to be a fed program for training, and research, not a takeover of local PD.
The National Initiative will highlight three areas that hold great promise for concrete, rapid progress. Racial reconciliation facilitates frank conversations between minority communities and law enforcement that allow them to address historic tensions, grievances, and misconceptions between them and reset relationships. Procedural justice focuses on how the characteristics of law enforcement interactions with the public shape the public’s views of the police, their willingness to obey the law, and actual crime rates. Implicit bias focuses on how largely unconscious psychological processes can shape authorities’ actions and lead to racially disparate outcomes even where actual racism is not present.
The National Initiative will combine existing and newly developed interventions informed by these ideas in five pilot sites around the country. It will also develop and implement interventions for victims of domestic violence and other crimes, youth, and the LGBTQI community; conduct research and evaluations; and establish a national clearinghouse where information, research, and technical $#%&!@*istance are readily accessible for law enforcement, criminal justice prac$#%&!@*ioners and community leaders.
Until the people of America wakes up we will get more like Germany was in the 30’s as the government took over law enforcement and total control over the people. The German people woke up when it was too late now will America do the same. This government power must be cut way back before it is too late.
Jan 2017. That gives you a lot of time to be angry.
Does anyone fact check things they read??
It is called the progressive agenda . Woodrow Wilson’s administration started it but ww1 got in the way , but he did get league of nations started . Liberals idea of utopia . It failed but opened the door for the United nations later. $#%&!@* came along after ww1 , Germany was in a depression , treaty of versiles had stripped Germany of land and resources and people were desperate. Like America is now. $#%&!@* nationalized everything when he took power . People can’t rap there heads around it because it is so big. Robert Blake is 100 percent right , in layman’s terms .
This is $#%&!@*ing scary ..wake up America
when enough white people are murdered by blacks will this be deemed not a good idea , instead of going to the true root of the problem, black people not acting within the law, blame it on the white and black cops putting their lives on the line everyday, ya that will work,
