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.”
So – if one wishes to know who keeps these schemers in business, you need only to look in the mirror.
Stop Them
Bill Johnson, you like many right wing nuts are so filled with the Fox News Hate that you can’t even consider any ideas that are not feed to you by the Kosh Brothers. How about this, read research, and fact check. I know this was not a normal idea in the 1800s when you went to school.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT A PARTY TO THE CONS$#%&!@*UTION, but is merely the creature of the Cons$#%&!@*ution; and as the mere creature, was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to it; since that would have made the creature’s will, and not the Cons$#%&!@*ution, the measure of its powers. That as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each State has an equal right TO JUDGE FOR ITSELF as to whether the creature has committed infractions, and as to the mode and measure of redress.The Cons$#%&!@*ution (and the federal government it brought into existence) was created by the states to serve the states. It sets forth the rules for how the government administrators must behave and says, in effect (in the tenth amendment) “Any powers that we did not give to them are ours; we’re still the boss.” It’s time to remember who’s the boss, time for the states to regain control of a government which thinks the states are subordinate to it. The federal government exists to serve the states, not the other way around. The states have the right and the duty to restrain the federal government.
GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATORS (your public Serpents) ARE THE ONES CREATING ALL WORLDLY PROBLEMS AND IDIOTS ARE STILL VOTING THEM IN…! STUPID FOR STUPID…!
Man is the sovereign of his domain and created government to serve him within his domain. An axiom of truth decrees that; the creator never serves his creation.
Ask yourself who is serving whom today?
Well his time is almost the GOP needs to pick a better candidate this year or we will be stuck with Clinton.
???
What is wrong with you people? Do you ever fact check anything?? This is a training and research program, not a take over of local PD!!!! You fools will believe any propaganda feed to you..
Well said!
