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.”

This is directed at those who think this is ” gossip” provable fact Obama products ed a birth cert. Long after he needed too. Fact his wife stated in college that “whites” were to blame for the majority of black problems in America. Fact Obama went to Muslim schooling that had drastically different belief systems than the average American. Fact Obama care wanted no less than 475 dollars to cover me. I make 876 dollars a month. Fact a tape was recorded where in Obama “desided” to run his champaign as a black man. Say what you want to say this is the shadiest president in the history of America whom I firmly believe has his own agenda at heart, not what is best for America’s or what the majority wants.
Obama ss force in action, will send the second ammendment in to its real test, to have a ready and prepare militia to this kinda of government tactic, its going to fail on these tools. Marshall law is ever in announced under obama were all screwed. Come on congress throw these guys out already
If this admin. Said the sun was shining I’d have to walk out and look up. They are deceivers and liars.
